I am officially done with lectures at The University of Edinburgh! I have two finals in May but other than that I am free to travel and roam around Europe. And travel I will… the next couple of weeks will be filled with plenty of trips and exciting times to come.

I have been walking around with a huge smile on my face and have spent the past few afternoons lounging in an immense field of grass called the meadows.
