The feels when I went to Borough Market. All the food places I wanted to try were closed due to the bank holiday! (It was on a Sunday, so people had a 3-day weekend) Gives me more reason to come back to London so I can eat all the food I missed out on 🍽 ➖ What is your favorite place to eat out here? ---------------------------------------------- 📍London, UK 🇬🇧 . . . #london #uk #europe #british #mood #boroughmarket #loveborough #bankholiday #food #foodie #foodporn #instafood #ilovefood #sign #quote #tourist #tbt #followme #10days3cities #photography #wanderlust #wanderlustkiki #travel #traveldiaries #thekikidiaries (at Borough Market)

Being in a foreign country and trying to figure out their public transportation was so challenging. The underground aka the tube was so confusing! It's like a maze down there and it's so humid. Anxiety attack waiting to happen! We got lost and took the wrong tube a few times, what an adventure! Eventually, got the hang of it though! Thank god for maps and the internet 🚇⭕️🗺 ➖ Here is a pic of one of the stations located in Piccadilly Circus! ---------------------------------------------- 📍London, UK 🇬🇧 . . . #london #uk #europe #british #theunderground #thetube #mindthegap #piccadillycircus #westend #circle #sign #transportation #transportforlondon #tourist #trafalgarsquare #tbt #followme #10days3cities #photography #wanderlust #wanderlustkiki #travel #traveldiaries #thekikidiaries (at Piccadilly Circus)

Day trip to Oxford 🚌 ➖ Sucks the Covered Market was closed too because of the bank holiday. It was nice to see the cool buildings and see some locations Harry Potter was filmed at. Plus, how this place influenced well known people/authors like Albert Einstein, C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) and J.R.R Tolkien (Lord of the Rings). ---------------------------------------------- 📍London, UK 🇬🇧 . . . #london #uk #europe #british #oxford #university #uni #harrypotter #cslewis #jjrtolkien #narnia #lordoftherings #tourist #tbt #followme #10days3cities #photography #wanderlust #wanderlustkiki #travel #traveldiaries #thekikidiaries (at University of Oxford)

Big Ben is currently under construction, but right next to it we have Westminster Abbey. Look at that Gothic architecture though ⛪️ ---------------------------------------------- 📍London, UK 🇬🇧 . . . #london #uk #europe #british #bigBen #westministerabbey #gothic #architecture #church #history #tbt #beautiful #followme #10days3cities #photography #wanderlust #wanderlustkiki #travel #traveldiaries #thekikidiaries (at Westminster Abbey)

Blessed with beautiful weather during our time out here in London! ☀️ ➖ After our coach bus tour, we were able to go on the Millennium Bridge that was featured in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!

Sightseeing and getting lost in the tube right after a 10-hour flight from San Francisco made our first day so memorable 🚇 ---------------------------------------------- 📍London, UK 🇬🇧 . . . #london #londoneye #uk #europe #british #firsttimer #photography #follow #followme #follow4follow #10days3cities #wanderlust #wanderlustkiki #travel #traveldiaries #thekikidiaries (at The Official London Eye)

Used the tube to our first destination: Camden Town. Camden market is such a funky, cool area that has stalls/stores that consist of food and clothes. Definitely wished I was able to explore and shop more in this part of London. ---------------------------------------------- 📍London, UK 🇬🇧 . . . #london #uk #camdentown #camdenmarket #thetube #theunderground #10days3cities #tbt #followme #photography #wanderlust #wanderlustkiki #travel #traveldiaries #thekikidiaries (at Camden Market)

Hello Tumblr,

2 weeks ago I got to experience one of the greatest things in my life. I finally went to Europe! 3 cities for 10 days and a group of people from all over the United States (33 strangers, not including Eijneb!) Best decision ever! 

I went through EF College Break. It was very easy and stress free. I was able to do payment plans which was very convenient. If you’re from the ages 18-28 and don’t feel like making your itinerary then this is a really good tour company to do that especially if it is your first time to traveling internationally or by yourself.

Personally, if I were to travel again to Europe I might just plan my whole trip myself. I wasn’t able to lots of the things I planned on doing to being so exhausted everyday. Be ready to walk A LOT! Wear comfy shoes and stay hydrated. Your tour director also gives you options for activities and you get to do some excursions. Pick them wisely because those extra activities take up most of your free time in each city.

So for this trip, I chose to go to London, Paris, and Amsterdam. I am so glad I did. All the cities were beautiful and just breathtaking. I kept asking myself if I was dreaming or not. I would do anything to go back especially Paris. Paris will always have a special spot in my heart. I mean it’s always been a dream to go there and I didn’t take 3 years of French in high school for nothing! It was awesome! If I have time I’ll post pics from each city. I really regret not taking more videos/pic with my camera, but at least I got lots of Snaps, really funny ones too.

Like I said in my other posts (Instagram, facebook, etc.) I really did not think I would make friends. At my age of 25, I think it is actually harder making friends. I don’t really go out and get to meet new people often, plus I’m shy too! So doing this actually was kinda had a good outcome= more friends! Everyone was awesome and got along really well. Except for when Eijneb and I had to babysit and stress about someone, but it’s all good even though I almost broke down In Oxford because of her. Anyways, meeting these new people were cool. Got closer to some when we did the pub crawl in London, late nights in our hotel in Paris, and a sex show in Amsterdam. And when everyone left to go back to the States it was sooo bittersweet. Kinda felt like it was too fast and too soon. But thanks for all the memorable memories. Definitely will treasure all the adventures and time we had with each other. 

(Hopefully, if people are down they’re able to come here to SJ. I know Molly will cuz she a true homie, but idk with the Creeper and Weirdo, they think we too much haha)
