There is so much that went into pre-departure, that it seemed discouraging at times. I was worried that by the time I finished stressing out about leaving, I wouldn’t even have the energy to go anywhere! Luckily, I survived all of the tedious planning and packing (and repacking) , endless airport lines, and what seemed like never-ending flights — and now I’m in London! Wait what? I’m super excited to be here finally, but jet-lag is no joke. Hopefully I get my energy back soon, so I can make the best of this experience.
