I created a bucket list of things to do because I don\u2019t know when I will be here again and for this amount of time. With the help of my mom we created a list of things that I would be able to do, and the anticipation was building. Of course, I had to see Big Ben and Buckingham Palace but there is a lot of hidden gems within London that many tourists don&#8217;t see. For example, Portobello Road and Camden Market, which house some of the best shopping available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2r8RfQK\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54566437627_0ab80e35d8_n.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_5695__1_\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Big Ben and I. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2r8VKLb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54567315366_4e3530c4de_n.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1882\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The courtyard. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2r8XrKb\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54567644980_4b48ccb087_n.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2122\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Supreme Court building.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2r8RfQV\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54566437637_e396df9fd4_n.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2199\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A beautiful opera house. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at what London has to offer, I realized that I could stay here forever and never get bored. However, there was one small problem, who was I going to travel with? This was solved by talking with new people. I am taking two classes and decided to talk with these two girls during lunch, and we&#8217;ve been together ever since. I was worried about making new friends as I was traveling by myself and didn&#8217;t want to waste away my time. But going out of my way to meet new people has created me opportunities to make new friends and see all of London. I&#8217;ve only been here a few days, but we&#8217;ve already planned a whole list of things we can do together, including a trip to Paris! I have seen so much of the city within the three days of being here and I am so excited to see what awaits in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about this blogger\u2019s study abroad program: <a href=\"https:\/\/mystudyabroad.missouri.edu\/_portal\/tds-program-brochure?programid=11097\">Regents University London<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before coming on this program, I planned out what I wanted to see and do.
