Survived a crazy 35 hours after our airline went bankrupt and left us stranded and sleeping in the craziest places across 3 countries. Here’s a pic of some cute buildings to look at while I rest and prepare for an adventurous story to tell. The incident was such a reminder of the importance of avoiding the “woe is me” approach to life. Spend more time creating solutions than complaining and holding grudges and you’ll find life to be a lot more enjoyable. I’ve learned that firsthand. #AlwaysGrateful

Y’all. It’s been CRAZY. Let’s just say the airline my next flight was with went bankrupt and didn’t quite notify its passengers. I found out from the UK news during a routine morning read. So while I sleep in an airport as part of my 85-leg trip on a $1000 one-way flight (for 2pp), please enjoy this photo of me trying to fit my big head/hair in a selfie fight with the famous #YorkMinster. Spoiler alert: my head won
.
I’ll tell you all about how I survived this, soon, for now time to eat and sleep since they’ve just turned the lights out. All is good. I love an adventure... xo

👩🏾‍🎨 Mondays are for perfect views.

Guess this city! (Hint: JK Rowling was inspired to write Harry Potter after moving here)

This place is magical. Swipe 📸 to see how insignificant I am in comparison to its grandeur. Fountains Abbey is one of the largest ruins in all of England. I ran (carefully walked) through it like a curious child, with new discoveries around each corner.
.
It was founded in 1132, operated for 400+ years, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Isn’t it amazing!? 😍😍😍

I took this photo last week on a sunny day in Lacock village (real name 😅) known for a number of Harry Potter and Downtown Abbey settings. Who would’ve thought I’d be in Scotland this week seeing the real viaduct we all recognize as the Hogwarts Express railroad/bridge! I literally cried when I saw it because the #HarryPotter series truly helped me change the narrative and trajectory of my life. (Boarding school and all!)
.
Side note while I go through all these photos: do you ever think the #HogwartsExpress was late? Like, Amtrak “20 min delay”-turned-cancellation reliability? What about “there’s a sick passenger on the subway so good luck being packed like sardines in a train that has no AC and just decided to go the local route” type of lateness? I guess wizards shouldn’t be late huh? You know... cuz magic?

How much do you value personal wellness? 2,000 years ago these baths were part of daily life. The Roman Baths (yes, in England) are fed by natural springs believed to have healing properties due to its high mineral content. After the Romans left, it was forgotten about and a whole new world built upon it. Only in the last century or so has it been re-discovered and restored to remind us how important wellness has been to society from ancient history through today. While we can no longer swim in these baths, I did swim at the Thermae Spa down the street — also fed by the same spring. The tour of the Roman Baths / Aquae Sulis is only £16.50 and includes a free audio device. We stayed there for 3 hours and could’ve remained longer if not for our tight schedule. Absolutely worth the visit.
