My time in London so far has been nothing short of amazing.

London's public transportation system is one of the most extensive in the world, and they make it easy to navigate. I've been here a week and I'm already comfortable traveling around the city on my own.

Fiel Trips.

I've met some awesome people on this trip. You'll never be able to convince me that they've been at USF this entire time.​

This cheeky guy just scared the pants off of a tourists, much to his amusement.

I could stay in this country for a month and not see all the amazing things here. Sunday I spent 5 hours walking around Hampton Court Palace. There's so much more I want to see and I only have 3 weeks left!

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path.
