How to visit England
It made me
 "Fall in love with an English exchange student, then fly over for the most romantic New Year's Eve ever."
How I did it: First, I went to a college party, where I met said English Exchange Student two weeks before his exchange ended. Whirlwind courtship. Lessons & tips: It helps to know people so you can cut costs. It's been over 15 years since I went, but at the time, the grocery stores were closed on Sunday, so shop early! Resources: I'd like to thank Woodchuck Cider and British Airways for making this experience possible. :-) |

How I did it: It was a fluke. I could never afford a trip like that, not for a LONG time. Someone who cared very much offered the trip to me without it costing me anything. At first I said no, then I changed my mind... and I loved every minute of it. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I met my ex-boyfriend, who was British, in 2006 here in Brazil. After 2 years of dating, one of us needed to moved to stay together, because it was very difficult to mantain a relationship by distance. I decided that would be more interesting if I moved to London, since I had never lived outside of Brazil. I moved to London in October 2007, worked like a mad to get enough money to pay my English course(I studied at St.Giles) and … Read how I did it…

I don’t know if it was all the English kidlit I read growing up, or just something to do with the British pieces of my family tree, but ever since I was a wee tot I’ve wanted to go to England in the worst way. If I had to pick just one place, I guess I’d go to London—but I’d like to have enough time to just roam all over the country.
Nearly went just before hubby and I got engaged. I’ve planned several trips since, but something always seems to throw a monkey wrench in the works.

I miss the fish and chips!

Of all the things I have seen and done in this lovely country what I really pine for is the fish and chips from local pubs LOL. I know I know. It is just something I can’t seem to replicate anywhere else. And I know a lot of people have little nice to say about British food in general but I always liked it. It is the very definition of comfort food! So pour me a pint and wrap some fried fish in newspaper please!

I’d love to have a month to wander around the UK, but I’d take a week or two if I could get it. English/Irish is about 3/4 of my heritage (Swiss is the other 1/4). Ultimately, I’d love to be there for the 2012 Olympics in London. That way I could accomplish two goals at once. The book nerd in me really wants to see the sites associated with Jane Austen and Harry Potter.

I love the language and I want to experience the culture. It is a dream I’ve had for long. Just need to afford it.. and I’m not even close yet.

I have been to England twice—summers of ‘98 and ‘08. I absolutely love it! If you are a history buff, you must go to The Tower of London and Hampton Cort Palace. They are both excellently maintained and provide visitors with incredible access and enjoyable, educational tours. I was amazed by how much more access we were given to be in the rooms of the palaces and touching walls, fireplaces, etc. In the US you are much more restricted in environments like that. In addition to the historical parts, London is a beautiful and fun city with great shopping, bars and restaurants. The underground is easy to navigate and everyone is very helpful and kind. Enjoy!
