Hey Everyone! My name is Lori and I am 20. I grew up just outside of Vancouver in Canada but have recently moved over to London, England. I'd like to think I am a pretty courageous person moving over here all by myself without knowing a single person and this summer backpacking Europe by myself. I am a pretty friendly gal and always up for a good time and meeting new people so give me a shout if you are ever heading my way. For now I will just continue to love my time spent in London and anything that comes my way in the future! Cheers!

Living in London!
Jan 05, 2008 - Aug 16, 2008
This is the blog of my two years over in London! For anyone to read what I'm up to and for my family back home to keep updated. I have a 2 years working holiday visa and will be living in London and using it as a base for more travels across Europe :D

Europe Round Two-Summer 2008
Jul 02, 2008 - Jul 05, 2008
Another trip backpacking Europe! This time for not as long (only 5 weeks) but I get to see a lot more! At the beginning of the trip I travelled with other travbuddies through Spain, Portugal, and France. After I have 3 weeks of backpacking Eastern Europe alone. I wish I could write my blog as I go but it will most likely be done when I get back to London.

Irish Adventure!
Jun 12, 2008 - Jun 15, 2008
Way back in February Danny planned a weekend away in Ireland for his birthday! Spent two nights in Dublin with Danny and Mike and then one night in Belfast with Danny. Dublin is much nicer then Belfast although more expensive. Was a really good trip and I recommend that everyone make it to Ireland one day!! :)

I would not recommend staying here. For what a youth hostel should be, this is not what you want! The only good thing about this place is that they ha... (read more about Paddy's Palace Belfast)
