And Traveling the World
Do you ever end up traveling somewhere a million times in a short period, then not at all for a long time? That happened to me with Oxford. When I first moved to London I was there a lot, but now it’s been years since my last trip. I’ve been itching to get back, though, so I bought a train ticket and planned an Oxford day trip.
As much as I love London, I sometimes need a break from the city. I grew up with hiking trails outside my front door and my inner nature lover craves the countryside from time to time. So when an opportunity came up to join a friend’s walking group on a country ramble near Cambridge, I jumped at the chance to go on one of their Essex walks. It promised to take me through some of the prettiest villages in the area, too.
Do you ever go somewhere and promise yourself you’ll be back soon? And then years go by and you never manage to get there? Me too. I went to Norfolk 10 years ago this month and swore I would return within a year. But life got in the way. A decade later, I’ve finally planned a trip with a friend and I’m excited to travel back to the North Sea coast for a girls’ weekend in Norfolk.
I love a good book. When I’m not traveling or exploring London, I can usually be found reading. And when I find something that allows me to combine the two, I get really excited. Which is why I want to share 9 literary places to visit in Britain where you can be inspired by some of the UK’s most famous writers. If you’ve ever dreamed of going on a literary tour of England, Scotland, and Wales, this is for you.
