I'm sweaty and stinky, my flip-flops are killing my feet, and my water bottle is nearly empty. But I'm in #newyorkcity and #centralpark, so as far as I'm concerned I'm right where I need to be. #imhappyiswear #newyork #nyc #nyny #newyorknewyork #centralparkny #leaontheroad #mydearolddirtytown #happyheart #selfie #snaphat #squareready (at Central Park)

It's been five months since I came home from Europe and today, for the first time, I took my beautiful calligraphy pen of Murano glass from Venice out to play. . . . Now, who wants to teach me how to use it?! . . . #leaontheroad #theathomeedition #calligraphy #pen #murano #muranoglass #venice #italy #designer #calligrapher #calligraphypen #glasspen #newbie #makegoodart #makeart #handlettering #typography

When I chose to do this #topdeck tour by myself, I was terrified I'd make no friends and hate everyone. I'm so relieved/thrilled that the opposite happened. This girl was the best roomie for almost two weeks, and I hated saying good bye to her this morning! It's been a long time since I've met someone who so perfectly compliments my own travel tendencies. ❤️ I miss her already, but am looking forward to the next few days of solo time in London! . . . See you in Australia at some point, Anna! You won't get rid of me that easily. 😘😘🇨🇦🇦🇺 . . #leaontheroad #topdeckers #roommates #glencoe #scotland #uk #unitedkingdom #travelbuddies

I took a #pano of the inside of the cathedral, too, because duh. #leaontheroad #topdeck #topdecker #saintpatrickscathedral #saintpatrickscathedraldublin #stpatrickscathedral #stpatrickscathedraldublin #panorama #Dublin #ireland #republicofireland

A few of today's #Dublin highlights - starting with a morning visit to #trinitycollegedublin and their #library! 😍📚 I was a little entranced during the videos about bookbinding in the #bookofkells exhibit. #leaontheroad #topdeck #topdecker #ireland #republicofireland #trinitycollegelibrary #trinitycollege #trinitylongroom

But in all seriousness, #bournemouth is a super cute little town. We ate a lot of food and did a lot of shopping. Tomorrow we move on to Southampton and Brighton! #leaontheroad #topdeckcontinued #england #uk #unitedkingdom #centralgardens #thesquare #centralgardensbournemouth #thesquarebournemouth

When you find out that you're traveling with the great-great-great-(great?-)granddaughter of #sirfrancisdrake, you have to take a #selfie in front of his statue. 💁🏼 #leaontheroad #plymouth #uk #unitedkingdom #england #plymouthhoe #drakestatue

Stopped at the #dublincastle. It's amazing how this whole thing exists in the middle of the industrial city. @krismaheral #leaontheroad #topdecker #topdeck #Dublin #ireland #republicofireland

Today's adventures in #York, #england! A stop at #yorkminster to light a candle (gotta keep those flames going, even with @tessusb back home ❤️). #leaontheroad #selfie #topdeck #topdecker

Another stop, another picture. The old, crumbly architecture of #York makes my heart happy. Except our tour guide told some story about a group of Jews who were held siege here. And then committed group suicide. So there was that? ✡️ #leaontheroad #england #topdeck #topdecker #cliffordstower #yorkcastle

What a cool experience today! I visited the #brusselscomicbookmuseum and was blown away by the artwork. I didn't really realize that the traditional comic strip started in Belgium! Surrounded by favourites like Tin Tin and the Smurfs, I spent hours lost in the artwork. 🖌 #leaontheroad #brussels #belgium #comicbooks #graphicnovels #comics #comicstrips #smurfs #tintin

And my first, surprise surprise, #selfie of the trip! It only took two hours. :P This door, on the Oxford campus, was apparently the inspiration for CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. Lookit #mrtumnus on the door, the cutie. 😂 #leaontheroad #topdeck #topdecker #oxford #universityofoxford #oxfordcollege #england #narnia #chroniclesofnarnia #cslewis #theroomwhereithappened?
