literally a memory I will never forget! thanks for everything!!

<3 YOU ARE WORTH BEING NOTICED GIRL! keep that feeling forever!

I didn’t comment much, but it was nice following your travels, thanks for sharing and good luck in the US. What other countries would you have liked to study in? What other countries do you want to visit? Hopefully you’ll continue travelling.

Germany is so beautiful. I love the classical German architecture.

Ahh Dorset, Somerset, Sussex are the places to go to see the English countryside! But seemed like you both had fun 😊

Aww it went by so quick you didn’t spend enough time here, i hope you come back and get to explore England, Wales, Scotland even more.

One thing I want to ask is did you find England’s education system hard? I’ve heard it’s more essay-based and demanding than the US education system.

I know you were based mostly in the Midlands and the north of England, but did you experience the difference in personality and friendliness in the north and south of England? And the difference between England, Scotland, and Wales?

You can’t really ask whether Europeans are as friendly as southern US Americans bc it’s too much of a generalisation, each European country is different and within each country there’re regional variation. As you’ve experienced yourself, the people and friendliness in France, England, and Germany are completely different. I’d say the European countries that match southern US hospitality are Ireland and Scotland bc the Irish and Scottish smile, wave, greet, and make conversation with strangers just like Americans do - this is rare elsewhere in Europe.

Did you experience culture shock when you returned back to the US?

If your study abroad programme has taught you self-confidence and acceptance, then it has been completely worthwhile. All other experiences have been just a bonus. You have changed so much from the shy, nervous, quiet introvert that arrived here, as I knew you would. Travel teaches you something of the wider world, which is great but much, much more about yourself, which is invaluable. You have learned that you are completely capable of organising and arranging things by yourself, of budgeting, cooking, finding your way around, doing your own laundry etc., in fact, so many different and vital life skills. You have become a very different person and will find the next stages of your life so much easier because of it. Thank you again for all the super videos of your travels and experiences, they have been a pleasure to watch. Very best wishes for the future...……………………….....................….the old man by the sea.

It's such a shame you have to go, we will miss your lovely grey eyes! I hope you manage to pack all the "little treasures" that you've collected over the months. Best wishes for the trip and for the future. Remember, there's nowhere to go but up!...……………………....the old man by the sea.

Lovely vlog, especially the section from the Botanical Gardens. A+ for the camerawork which showed it off brilliantly. Use the rest of your time wisely, it may be a while before you get back again (but hopefully not too long).

There's a very good reason that Ryanair are so cheap...………………..they are rubbish! The prices make them attractive to the 70% of people who don't experience any problems. Still, I hope your encounter with Europe's nastiest airline hasn't put you off completely. Germany looked lovely and I can remember visiting Cochem many years ago (but I didn't make it up to the castle, I opted for a cold beer instead). I suppose you'll be packing soon. I just hope that you can find space for all the little bits and bobs that you've amassed while over here. Good luck!

What a treat to watch the latest bit of globe-trotting by my favourite visiting vlogger! I just hope that your time among the dour and serious Germans is half as enjoyable. They're not that bad really, it's just that sometimes they need a few of us wild, wacky and unreserved English folk to liven them up a bit. Have fun...……………………………...the old man by the sea.

Loving the video clip and you have done a mind-blowing job on the edit! If you have time let me know what you think of my latest video just need some feedback! 😃

I am a old Scottish guy and would have gladly bought you and your b/f a drink....AND told the clown who said dont film to go to FCK ..but not as polite... lol

What a shame that the weather was a bit gungy for your friends visit. Still, it didn't seem to slow her down too much. I was just reviewing one of your early postings from when you had just arrived, very scared, uncertain and intimidated by almost everything. Look at you now, zapping around the country by train without a care in the world. Studying abroad really does change you dramatically in all kinds of ways...…………….the old man by the sea.

Nicole - I really like your posts - found you via you're Scotland videos.... For some reason the Sound on your posts is really hard to hear. Not sure what to do but that would help..... I'm old but not that old.... :)

You should cook more! It saves money, you know exactly what’s inside your meals, and it’s a good skill to have.

You're quite right, it's really important that you get out and about, even when the weather is grim (which is most of the time). Just think how much you're going to enjoy the warm summer sunshine when it arrives. Talking to yourself in your room is one thing but, when you start to answer yourself, it is definitely time for a long walk anywhere. Cheer up, the sun does shine in England, it's just that no-one knows when it will be...……………........…...the old man by the sea.

You were not joking about the weather, were you? Well, at least you saw the Three Sisters at the entrance to Glencoe, sometimes the cloud and mist comes right down to the road. They have a local joke (they really need humour to live there), "if you can see the mountains, it's going to rain and if you can't, it's already raining". Glad you enjoyed it, rainwater is so good for the complexion...……...the old man by the sea.

Many congratulations on conquering the north face of Arthur's Seat, and doing so in good weather (which is rare). You were very lucky because Scotland is not particularly famous for its sun-kissed days. Scottish comedian Billy Connolly once described the climate as "six months of bad weather, followed by winter"! Well done for trying some of the local cuisine(?). Have a good time in Paris...…................…...the old man by the sea.

i love Liverpool

Ireland is one of the safest countries in the world!! So glad you had such a great time!!

Thanks for showing what was obviously a great weekend. Solo travel can be so liberating, you start off intending to go somewhere and then end up somewhere completely different, and there's no-one else to complain!...…………...............…...the old man by the sea.

I can feel the wind. The daffodils are lovely. Great sound. Thanks for the treat, honey.

It was great to watch you wandering around York, and rain-free! That is one of my favourite places in the north. By the time you get back home, you'll probably walk everywhere without a second thought...………………………………………...the old man by the sea.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. You are, of course, perfectly right about grieving. After all, you have lost a part of your family and that is never easy, be it a pooch or a person. Even when it's expected, it is still a massive blow and being absent doesn't help. On a lighter note, I envy you the trip to CadburyWorld (it used to be called Bourneville before the company was sold to a US corporation). Free chocolate too, although I believe that visitors are not allowed out of England until they've tried a CurlyWurly! ……………………............….the old man by the sea.

I'm not hearing you, honey, and I absolutely hate it. I've got my ears on, but no cigars. I so want to hear your words as well as view the images. Sending love from MO

That was 3:54 well spent, I don't think I have ever felt so moved so quickly. We all have lumps of sadness inside and deal with them as best we can. It just goes to show you that places can heal as effectively as medicines. Your photography was brilliant, it has an almost lyrical quality about it. The whole thing was a few short minutes of joy. Thank you...............................the old man by the sea.

Love the music you chose for the back ground. Fits well with the sites. O the adventures of life...

Your videos remind me of the size and depth of the world. Thank you for sharing your travels.

Liverpool Anglican cathedral is huge, isn't it? I remember, years ago, standing on top of the tower and seeing the hills of Wales in the distance. May I suggest that you take a trip to Chester, not far from Liverpool. It was built by the Romans as Deva (the river there is the Dee) and it still has it's medieval walls surrounding it. Also York has it's walls still and is bigger, although further away from you. Anyway, whatever you do keep up the great videos, they're so enjoyable...……………………………….the old man by the sea.

Did you enjoy your first welshcake? Next time you go try laverbread (actually a type of seaweed, very nutritious) and bara brith, a sweet bread made with dried fruits. Also, if you enjoy cheese, Caerphilly is excellent, very white and crumbly. Wherever you go in the UK there are great things to eat and most are locally produced. I cannot understand why we have a reputation for bad food...……………………………….the old man by the sea.

An experience like this is bound to change you, it can't fail to do so. To use an analogy from the insect world, you got on that plane as a caterpillar and now you are a chrysalis undergoing a complete metamorphosis. When you leave here, you will have become a butterfly and be ready to spread your wings and fly. This time has removed your blinkers and shown you that you are capable of anything you wish...………………………….the old man by the sea.

PLEASE, do not waste money on bottled water. Buy a plastic container and fill it from the tap. We are lucky enough to have the purest public supply in Europe. This should save you a few pounds every week. Sorry about the grim weather but it shouldn't last too much longer. Just relax, it's going to be fine...………................……….the old man by the sea.

There really is a lot to see in our small, damp island. The problem is fitting it all in. Keep up the vlogs...…………………..the old man by the sea.

Cheer up, the thing to remember is that all the other overseas students are in the same boat. They're all in a strange place, in a strange country and some are dealing with a strange language as well. This is why you will tend to bond more easily. I wish you much joy in your studies and travels over here. Have fun exploring Brum (it's a great place for a curry!)…………………………………….the old man by the sea.

Loved this. You are doing amazingly. I am wandering youtube watching a few uni vids as came to Birmingham recently with daughter as it's an option for her. We didn't expect to love it but thought the uni was beautiful and the city so vibrant , warm and friendly. Hope it continues well for you. Well done!

Thank you for freely sharing your thoughts, my dear. Much appreciated!

my hat turns a different colour a quarter of the way through lool

hope you feel better soon! your resilience is so lovely.

I choked on water at "guess who's crying again." Almost died.

Damn I’m so happy you’re doing this and can’t wait to watch your journey and see your growth!! I know we haven’t talked in a long time but I want to let you know that I support you and love you and want the very best to come out of this experience for you! Subscribed:D
