Munich is a multi-layered city, drenched in dark history but deeply connected to the cultural heart of Bavaria.

Wandering along the colorful streets and canals in the sunshine, licking my lemon gelato, I felt like I was living in the perfect moment. 

It was the day after my college graduation, and I was on my way across the sea for a two-week adventure in Ireland. I wasn’t just chasing adventure; I was chasing myself.

Wherever I go from here, I will carry London with me, and I will remember all that it has given me. 

In the past three months, London has never stopped surprising me — and I’ve surprised myself by becoming a part of it.

For a loving fan of the Harry Potter series, a walk through the Warner Brothers Studios was a magical, bittersweet experience.

Sometimes, when I'm standing in an empty underground platform waiting for the rush of the next train, I like to remember that twenty-nine years ago, my father was in the exact same place.

There is something magical about Southbank on a Sunday morning.

36,969 miles above the Atlantic Ocean, in a cramped airplane seat with strangers all around me, I realized how small I was.

I've always wanted to see the world, but — as reality conditions dreamers to do — I'd started to have an inkling that maybe it wouldn't happen for me.
