Stratford-Upon-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace

A Stratford-Upon-Avon Pit Stop

, , , , , 11 Comments

Stratford-Upon-Avon

The historical and picturesque town of Stratford-Upon-Avon lies upon the River Avon (hence the name) and is most well-known for being the home of Shakespeare. Ever heard of him? It was the perfect little pit stop before heading to the hustle and bustle of my beloved London. We were able to stop for a delicious lunch and tour some of the main sights. Stratford will not only make you fall in love with Shakespeare all over again, but will make you fall in love with its beautiful gardens and quaint cotswolds architecture.

The Money Shot

You all know what I’m talking about…that moment when you’re acting like a stereotypical tourist somewhere new and amazing, and after snapping away you look at your thousands of photos and find that ONE. That Golden Child. That diamond. That photo that looks like it came straight outta your “Travel” Pinterest board. And you say, “DANG that’s good! This one looks like it could be a postcard. Or better yet, I HAVE seen this on a postcard! Seriously, THIS is the money shot.”

That one time at Buckingham Palace

My friends and I area little weird, especially when we’re together. Which is why we often find ourselves/put ourselves in funny, outright ridiculous situations when we get together. I have some great memories and hilarious stories with my friends. Even more so when we’re on vacation or somewhere new. One event that sticks out the most to me was when we were in London and we were visiting Buckingham Palace…

When Travel Meets Graphic Design

, , , , 23 Comments

So for those of you who don’t know, I’m a Graphic Designer. I graduated from LSU with a graphic design degree, and currently work in Baton Rouge in a communications firm. When I was in school, I would always seize the opportunity to mix my love of graphic design with my love of traveling. Of course, the projects assigned to us didn’t always allow that…

Bike ride through Hyde Park

Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens

Its currently soooo cold here right now in South Louisiana. I know, CRAZY right?! And although I love it, I can’t help but daydream to the times I spent wandering aimlessly around one of my favorite areas of London – Hyde Park – on an absolutely BEAUTIFUL summer day. Taking a bike ride through Hyde Park allows you to explore more of the park than by foot. It’s such a fun and cheap thing to do in London (because let’s face it, London can be PRICEY)!

The Harry Potter World Premiere

Harry Potter World Premiere

It’s appropriate that it’s Thursday because today we’re throwing it wayyyyy back. To the summer of 2011. I was studying in Austria and decided that I wanted to go to the world premiere of the last Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, in London. And once I decided, there was no going back.

Not only did I fly from Austria and London specifically for the Harry Potter world premiere, but I was also able to finagle myself into the 2nd row and had the BEST day of my life.

This is a long story but boy is it a pretty epic one.

A Year in Review: Peace out 2014, it’s been real

, , , , 0 Comments

Holy cow. When I look back on everything that happened in 2014, I am flabbergasted that it was all just 365 days! I am so blessed to have been to some amazing places and had some truly incredible experiences this year. Its been a whirlwind, including graduating college, visiting Cabo and the Bahamas, traveling through Europe for a month, attending several concerts and TWO overseas music festivals, starting my first “big girl job,” and, of course, beginning to blog regularly. Here is my 2014 in review and some highlights from every month of the year!
