I had my first group presentation this week for my Destination Marketing class. It's a really interesting class where we learn to market, sell and brand destinations. We were assigned a small town called Epping Forest, right outside of London. With my group we spent many hours researching to make our poster, and here, you can't just cut and glue pictures onto a poster, everything must be professionally printed. For example, we had to do everything online, and print it out on the poster itself to...

In Prague, Czech Republic! It's so much colder here than back in London! When we arrived in Prague, we went straight to our hostel, by bus, to drop our bags off, then it was a short walk into Old Town. Old Town was really cool, with a lot of history and food stalls all around you.

There is the Astronomical clock tower that constantly had tourists standing there on the hou...

Arrived in the gorgeous Linz, Austria! On our train ride from Prague to Linz, we saw some incredible Austrian countryside.

However, I have had ...

This weekend my roommate and I went to Cardiff, Wales for the day. Racing against the clock we rushed to the Victoria Coach Station only to find out our bus was delayed by a half hour. Once we arrived, we were greeted by the Cardiff castle! I was amazed how it just beautifully sat right in the city centre near all the shops. However, we decided to visit the castle last and start our adventures two miles away at the Cardiff Bay. The bay was a nice experience. It mixed together the two aspects of ...
