EuroTrip | Part 2

I'm back! I'm back! I promise I'm back!

Let's get right into it, shall we? In my last post I left off with meeting James Bourne in the Dublin airport (legitimately can not believe I just typed those words all in one sentence... WHAAAAT?!)

When we arrived in London, we made our way to the Generator Hostel near Russell Square. We were a bit nervous for this at first, as we booked a four-person room and we weren't sure what type of roommates we would have. We lucked out big time! We were sharing a room with a married couple from the States. They were super nice and didn't mind when we came in a bit late some nights! They did sleep a bunch during the day, but I think they were feeling a bit under the weather. Anyway, the Generator was so cool! It was definitely not what you would expect of a hostel. In most aspects anyway. Like there was still a breakfast line to eat in a cafeteria in the mornings, and the rooms weren't all that fancy, but it really was a neat place. We probably could have gotten a hotel a bit farther from Central London for cheaper, but for the location you really couldn't beat the price. Here's a pic of the cool piano in the lobby of the hostel!

The first place we headed upon arrival in London was Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum... Enough said.

This was one of the main attractions I wanted to see, as noted on my face that never stopped smiling the whole time... The next night we saw Wicked, which was... wicked. I didn't take any pictures as you're not allowed... but trust me! Then it was time to move on from the Generator to a hotel closer to Wembley Stadium, and you know what that means... MY BOYS!

We headed on over to Wembley for a night of dancing all night to the best song ever, including the Macarena between 5 Seconds of Summer and 1D. So much fun. Here are a few pics from the night, and please comment below if you would like to see any videos because I certainly have those aplenty as well!

Sadly, the next day we headed home :( I didn't take any pictures of that because who needs to be reminded of such a sad time?! Not I.

So there you have it! A few things are missing that we had done as I was so excited I forgot to take pictures sometimes... But I'll always have the memories!

So. Now you know all about the marvellous adventures of Kim and Liv across the pond. Hopefully you have been enlightened beyond your wildest dreams and can't wait to hear about my other adventures. And there are some posts on those in the works...

Until next time!

Starstruck

Hello there!

My internet is rather slow and we are just in the hotel for a few minutes, but I wanted to slap on a couple photos of what we've done so far!

So the first thing we did was a bus tour, during which my camera died about 1/3 of the way through but I got a few pictures!





The next day (yesterday) we took the train to Leicester to watch the Niall Horan Charity Football Challenge. You can imagine I just about died when I heard about this event and bought tickets as soon as it was announced! It was raising funds for Irish Autism Action and Hearts and Minds UK, a Scottish arts-in-health organization. As an autism support worker studying to be a clinical therapist, this is a cause that is very near and dear to me! Present at the game were various celebrities and footballers, including Liam, Louis, Niall and Harry, as well as Piers Morgan, Ronan Keating, and Jack Whitehall. Harry wasn't supposed to be there, so I almost fell over when he ran onto the pitch! It was an AMAZING day.









All in all it has been an amazing trip so far! I will keep y'all posted as time goes on.

Until next time!

Twerkin' it Out

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am self conscious.

Now, I know I just did a post about body confidence (and by 'just' I mean a month ago... oops). But that is not the self conscious I am talking about. Have you ever taken what you thought to be a really great picture, only to find out that you actually looked like an alpaca on shaving day? This is how I feel whenever I try to make a Youtube video.

For the last 8 months or so, I have aspired to have my own channel, with lots of funny/inspiring/thoughtful videos. I have a whole book full of video plans. But, to my chagrin, every time I sit down to record such a thing, I end up trashing the whole project because I am not comfortable with the way I look/the way I talk/THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I BLINK WHEN I'M NERVOUS!

So all that being said, I PROMISE YOU, videos are coming. And in case you're interested, I have tagged this post with some of the categories of ideas I have for the future. I'm really looking forward to sharing this with you!

Until next time,
Liv xx

The Shameful Things I Do

Hellooooooo, hope you've had a marvellous day!
I bet you're doing more eventful things than I am right now...
Unless you've been living under a rock*, I think you probably know who these beautiful boys are:



Yep, it's One Direction. I think if you are between the ages of 12 and 25, you have probably heard their music. And although you may not want to admit it, you probably liked it just a little bit. Myself on the other hand.... well I am a full blown Directioner. I love these boys and their music. Not in the creepy-stalker-posters-everywhere-marry-me-teenager kind of way, but in a mature you-are-attractive-call-me kind of way.

So what am I doing on this summery (for Canada) Tuesday night? Well, I am sitting in my room with the radio on, waiting for the fateful moment when they give the cue to call and win One Direction tickets. It's all very intense.

So, keep sending me good vibes as I try persistently to receive the golden tickets!

Until next time,
Liv (fingers crossed)

*If you actually have been living under a rock, sorry about your luck.

UPDATE: I WAS CALLER EIGHT AND YOU NEEDED TO BE CALLER NINE.
I will be trying again tomorrow.... *sniff sniff*
