In less than a week’s time I will be
heading to the USA for 3 weeks of travelling, so I thought I would share some
of the things I’ve learnt during the planning, booking and preparation stages.
I’m by no means an experienced traveller; I’ve booked a few smaller holidays in
the past, but this is the first time I’ve booked something on this scale (and this is still quite a small scale).

Now Playing/ Wishlist - June
As you can see, I’ve
kept with the Now Playing/ Wishlist title – it’s growing on me…
It really doesn’t
feel like a month ago that I was writing my May post though, time has gone so quickly over the past four weeks. I’ve
finished season one of Once Upon a Time, been to Dot to Dot festival, visited a new city for the first time and completed my degree!
As I’ve been
super busy, I haven’t had huge amounts of time to watch new shows and discover new music, but here are a few things I’m enjoying or hoping to catch over the next
month.

Day Trip to Cambridge
The day
after I finished my degree I joined some of my friends on a spontaneous trip to
Cambridge. One of my
friends lives about a half an hour from the Cambridge itself, so we drove into
the centre to have a look around.
I’d never
been to Cambridge, so it was really nice to explore somewhere new. Luckily the
weather was amazing, so we could stroll around in the sunshine.
Cambridge was
kind of exactly how I imagined it would be: beautiful buildings, cobbled
streets, lots of nice shops and restaurants, and so many bikes.

Review: House of Cards Season One
*WARNING: Only contains very, very minor spoilers (from the first episode)*
One of the
reasons I downloaded Netflix in the first place was because I wanted to watch
House of Cards. My brother had been telling me for months that I needed to
watch the show, and so as soon as I had finished Gossip Girl, I knew that House of Cards had to come next.
House of
Cards is an American political drama, set mostly in the White House, and is released
exclusively on Netflix. I didn’t actually realise until I did a little research
before starting this post (my bad), but the show is based on a BBC
mini-series from the 1990s, which was set after Margaret Thatcher’s stint as
Prime Minister.

Being a Tourist in Guildford
It wasn't until my Granny came to visit me at uni last week, that I realised how few things I've actually done in the area! This is my third
year living in Guildford, and as I’m finishing my degree in less than a week,
it was also a good opportunity to tick a few things off my pre-graduation
bucket list.
