Brussels!
Last weekend I visited my cousin in Brussels! I love getting to spend time with her because we don’t get to see each other. I took the Eurostar from London St. Pancras to Brussels. The journey was only 2 hours and it was extremely easy because I only live a 5 minute walk from St. …

Brighton!
On Saturday, my friends on I went on our first trip that we planned ourselves! We went on a day trip to Brighton which is a seaside town on the coast of England. Our train was at 8 a.m. and as many of you know I am not a morning person so I slept for …
