Day 32

London Street Art! Today was my last full day in London. Its been pretty amazing. I never really had much interest in the UK at all growing up, which I think was something to do with the dreary weather, but London is so lively, what it lacks in sunlight is makes up for in other…

Day 26

Cocktail experiments! my couchsurfing host is trying to create his own sustainable/environmentally friendly cocktails which means not being able to use Lemons or limes as they are all imported from south America to the UK.
