My 2014 adventure abroad is over. While mom and dad finished packing before the taxi arrived, I went for a walk. The sun was just rising, and the majority of the people I passed were kids in uniforms heading off to school. I had to bundle up, because the weather was definitely in the process of transitioning into fall and winter. (Meanwhile, it was 80F when we landed back at home.) It was a peaceful morning before the tedious, 11+ hour travel day ahead.

Taking the internship in London is definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made… And I was already feeling a bit homesick for the tiny, shoebox-sized room I had in my London flat, with the almost revolving door of interesting flatmates from all over the world. I was definitely planning on how to get back to this side of the pond again before we even left Edinburgh. Until next time, UK and Europe.
