Michaela's Journey to England

Current Location

Bristol, United Kingdom

My journey to the U.K. began with a 10-hour drive from Atlanta to DC, where I flew out of Dulles International Airport to join my 2025-26 Fulbright cohort in Birmingham, U.K. for our orientation week.

Logbooks

Welcome to a day in the life of a Bristol Grad Student. This past week was my Consolidation week, so I did not have required classes I needed to attend in person. I explored Bath, Cardiff and London.

Journals

The U.K. Renters' Rights Bill passed this week and gives tenants across England more protections and security while renting from private landlords.

Field Notes

In the U.K., Sunday roast is a staple meal that brings people together. This tradition builds community and sheds light on the U.K.'s history and way of life.

Albums

Come with me on a spontaneous adventure to spend my birthday weekend in Paris and London. I ate delicious food, saw my close friend and experienced the best of both worlds for my 26th birthday.
