As I said in my first post, I do not intend to post on a regular basis given the irregular nature of my time abroad, in case anyone was confused by the gap between posts. I have now just about settled into my house in Cambridge, after a few days of orientation and welcome events. […]
So as I alluded to on Sunday, a lot has happened between leaving London and arriving in Cambridge. To summarize my journey in brief, I traveled to Edale via Manchester to start hiking the Pennine Way, England’s oldest National Trail. From there I hiked 16 miles to Crowden to spend the night, and another 11 […]
I apologize for not posting about the last couple days, but I’ve mostly been resting with family and relaxing before school next week. As a final hurrah, I am hiking along the Pennine Way near Manchester for today and tomorrow, so I will be out of contact for the most part. However, you can expect […]
Today marks the final day of my planned London adventures. That doesn’t mean to say that my adventures are over, simply that I will need to improvise for the next two days.

After a quick lunch I set out on a nice stroll through town. Today’s walk led me to Hollard Park, which was more […]
After two action packed days, today moved at a much more relaxing pace. I did not even leave my bed until ten, but soon after I joined Sanjay and his friend Sophie for a simple breakfast. After discussing San Francisco and my experiences with reading ancient literature, I got ready to head out for my […]
After a long day of walking around yesterday, I decided to have a relatively slow morning, finally stepping out at 10 to make my way to Leicester Square to meet my friend Reilly from Berkeley. While we were supposed to meet at noon, naturally I arrived incredibly early and decided to simply wander around town. Eventually, I […]
Since most of yesterday was spent in a plane, car, or flat, I didn’t actually get to see much of London, or England for that matter. After getting an Oyster card from Sanjay to pay for public transit in the city, I walked out my door and jumped right into the heart of London. Today’s […]
