Like most people, I did a little research on London before the advance. This was to be my first trip out of the country in twenty-four years. I left Romania when I was ten years old and never really wanted to go back to Europe until this opportunity came up. I waited twenty-four years to…

Personal Interests I continue to refer to my time in London as a trip of a lifetime, and it was truly that. The trip represented a culmination of hard work, transitions and ultimately a new start. I would be lying if I said I was not overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed with sights, smells, tastes and…

OVERVIEW London was a great venue for the 2013 Advance! I enjoyed the cultural diversity; it was everywhere all the time! It was busy but there were lots of lenclaves in which one could find some solace: coffee shops, pubs, and wine shops. I enjoyed watching people; London offered a huge window into the fabric…
