Just Touched Down in London Town

      That’s right. I finally had the chance to travel to London and see it outside of the airport. I finished my Finance exam and I feel confident that I did well so I celebrated by travelling to London for a few days. I know I have travelled before but it always feels exhilarating when I have the opportunity to experience something new. It’s amazing how easy it is to travel around Europe once you are here. For anyone thinking about doing this, I highly recommend considering Ryanair flights since they are super cheap and easy to book.

      On Thursday, I left early in the morning to head out to London. Once I got there I navigated my way through various train stations in true tourist fashion between a combination of Google Maps and asking random people, to drop my things off at the hostel. I headed into London to check out the various sites that you must see if you’re being a typical tourist like myself: Tower of London, London Eye, Westminster Bridge, Big Ben, and more. I would have to say my favorite part was the guided tour on the double-decker bus, which gave a lot of the history behind all the different buildings and monuments. London is very similar to my experience in New York in many ways and I think many people who have been to both places would agree. I still enjoyed every minute of it. Sport Changes Life has given me the opportunity to have many different experiences, and being a world-traveler is one of them. #AmericanBoyGoneGlobal
