Kacie Diaz discusses her experience studying abroad in London during the summer of 2015. She shares how the trip allowed her to gain independence and maturity as it was her first time traveling alone without her parents. Diaz realized she liked the person she became while in London. Although the trip ended, Diaz became obsessed with London and considered moving there after graduating from college. However, she faced difficulties with making a move logistically and financially. Diaz remains torn between pursuing opportunities in New York or moving to London to rediscover herself.

2. MY EXPERIENCE ABROAD
LONDON,
UNITED
KINGDOM
BY KACIE DIAZ
PHOTOGRAPH: TRAFALGAR
SQUARE
The best decision I
ever made was studying
abroad. I spent the sum-
mer of 2015 in London,
England. I’ve always
wanted to visit, and I
knew that the only way to
properly experience Lon-
don was to live there.
I always thought study-
ing abroad was a myth.
Surely people went, but
not me. One day I sat with
my parents and told them
I wanted to study abroad
, and shockingly, they
thought it was a good idea.
So I attended my
school’s study abroad fair
and contacted the coor-
dinator to make my trip
to London possible. With
the help of my mom and
dad, I was able to turn this
dream into a reality.
I was going to London.
In just a few short
months after applying, I
was on the plane flying to
my new home for the next
few weeks.
When the plane land-
ed, it was something I
couldn’t wrap my head
around.
At first I thought it
wasn’t real. How could I
have traveled eight hours
on a plane and be in an-
other country without my
parents and no cellphone
service?
That first week I had
my tourist meter on at
full blast wanting to see
anything and everything I
could.
Then I realized I need-
ed to slow down because
I had three more weeks in
London.
This trip marked the
first time in my life that I
had been away from my
parents for so long. No
one was there to cook din-
ner for me or help me find
my way around the city. I
truly felt lost.
It was the days I sat on
the tube alone that I re-
alized that I might, no I
could do this on my own.
I matured tremendously
in just one month. I was
cooking and caring for
myself, taking the tube to
a random station just to
walk around, and taking in
London Calling--Destined to discover new place in the world, Kacie Diaz disccusses her first weeks of travel
the culture all while main-
taining my school work.
Needless to say, finding a
balance wasn’t easy.
I say it all the time -- I
found myself in London.
On the plane ride back I
realized that I liked who I
was in London; someone
who was mature, cultured,
and well spoken. No one
knew me, and maybe the
Kacie I was there is the
Kacie I truly am.

3. Have you ever spoken to someone who just came
back from backpacking around Europe? If you
have, you know that they can never stop talking
about their travels. Well of course they can’t -- its
an amazing experience. Some people might not
understand its importance, but I’m here to give
you the five reasons to inspire you to travel.
1. Experience A Different Culture
Do you know of a better way to understand a
culture than living in it? The answer is no. When
you’re visiting countries you get to eat all of the
food, which the culture has to offer. First hand ex-
periences are the number one learning key. Trav-
eling offers you the knowledge that is not taught in
textbooks. The best way to learn about a culture
is to live it.
2. Travel To Another Country For Cheap
Once you’re abroad in Europe, the travel bug
would have sunk its teeth in you and the urge to
see more will be apparent. The best part about
Europe is that all the countries are super close to
one another. So say “bye” to driving eight hours
through the same state and say “hello” to another
country in just a few hours or less. With sites like
RailEurope.com, round trip rail passes between
countries start as low as $50. If that doesn’t make
you want to travel more, I don’t know what will.
3. Make New Friends
Traveling is about seeing places and of course
meeting new people. Whether your in a tourist
spot, a restaurant, or bar there will always be one
thing in common, people. The same way you meet
people at home you can meet them abroad. The
best place to make new relationships is abroad.
Connecting with locals or even world travelers like
yourself is a great way to start a bond. Making
connections is lways important no matter where
you go. Of course, having place to stay when trav-
eling to a place outside home is also a plus.
4. Make Memories
After you’ve seen the sights in postcards and
shared a drink with friends at the Trevi Fountain
its going to be a moment you will never forget.
The best and worst experiences will always be
the most memorable. No one likes hostels and as
horrible as your stay at one might be, its going to
be a time you never forget. Sometimes the worst
experiences make for great memories. So while
you’re having a terrible time think about the story
you get to tell your friends back at home.
5. The Want to Travel More
Before your trip is even over the want to travel
again will be stronger than ever. As sad as you
might be to come home, you will never lose the
things you learned, the photos you took, the
friends you made, or the memories you have.
That flight back home might be the saddest ride,
but as you sit and watch the inflight tv to track the
plane’s journey, you won’t be able to stop yourself
from planning your next vacation.
Don’t you think its time that you become one of
those people who backpack across Europe? Its
your turn to tell the stories and share the memo-
ries. Pack your bags, get your passport and take
risks to learn new things!

to Europe Is Worth It

The Time To Travel Is Now
I bet you’ve been
told that you have your
whole life to travel. I can’t
stress it enough to you
enough that it is the fur-
thest thing from the truth.
If anyone is going to be
honest to you, its going to
be me. The time to travel
is now!
Don’t let others con-
vince you that you have
your whole life left to
travel. Sure it might be
true, but you won’t have
the same experience trav-
eling now.
What excuses do you
have not to travel now?
The answer is none. If
you’re still living at home
and have no responsibili-
ties, then that’s the perfect
excuse you need to go
travel.
Don’t think about work-
ing and saving money so
you can travel.
You have you’re
entire life to work. You
won’t have the time to
travel for more than two
weeks at a time if your job
lets you. If you don’t have
the time to travel during
college, then find the time
after you graduate.
Give yourself a grace pe-
riod to find yourself. Trav-
el and don’t be afraid to
do it by yourself. There’s
not always going to be a
person holding your hand
throughout every step of
your life.
Step out of your comfort
zone and do things you
never thought of doing,
because the reward will be
much greater. Nothing is
better than having a con-
versation about the time
you backpacked through
Spain alone. Or the time
you looked down at all of
Paris from the top of the
Eiffel Tower.
So stop coming up
with excuses to keep you
from traveling. Don’t tell
yourself that you’ll travel
eventually, because in a
short 20 or even 40 years
down the line you will
look back and think to
your self, “I should have
traveled when I had the
chance.”
Don’t let that person be
you.

5. Six Travel Essentials
You Don’t Want To Forget
I’ve traveled enough and had travel disasters so
you don’t have to.
Here’s a few of my travel essentials that I can’t
go without
Just admit it, carrying around your passport in a
foreign country is not the best thing to do. A safer
alternative is photocopying your passport so you
don’t need to worry about losing it.
A photo copy of the first two pages -- the ones
with your personal information and photo -- is
a valid form of identification without having the
physical copy in your presence.
Photocopy of Your Passport
This may seem like a no brainer, but when it
comes time to filling out the customs form on the
airplane or train you don’t want to be the passen-
ger who asks around to borrow one.
Instead, pack a pen in every bag so you know
you have one somewhere. Plus, when the pas-
senger to your left asks if you have a pen you’ll
be glad to say you do.
Bring Pens
Ziplock Bags
A travel life save: Ziplock bags. Pack all your liq-
uid travel essentials in plastic ziplock bags to be
organized and, most importantly, prevent spills.
Limit your ziplock bags to four items. Make sure
they don’t break during travel, and don’t forget to
bring extra just incase some do break. You don’t
want to end up purchasing some other liquids
that might break.
First Aid Kit
You may not injure yourself, but the slight chanc-
es that you will be prepared. Save yourself time
and pain by having supplies hands on.
An important must have in your first aid kit is pain
relievers. 10-hour flights are painfully long and
an intense headache is not something you need.
Bringing your own medication is a penny saver.
Snacks
Be honest, you get the munchies at the worsts
time. Whats worse than getting the cravings in
the middle of a flight or in the middle of the night
when everything in the city is closed.
Packed snacks will be your life saver. Whether its
chips, cookies, or even an instant meal to save
yourself from your late night cravings, it’s always
good to have extra food at your disposal.
Universal Adapter
If you’re traveling around Europe its probably
wise that you carry around a universal adapter.
Its the 21st Century and you need to make sure
all your electronics are charged.
A universal adapter may be a bit pricier than a
standard one, but it’ll be worth it when you hop
from the United Kingdom to Spain. Get one that
you know you can use anywhere around the
world.

6. I Left My Heart In London
LOST BUT FOUND-- The story where I know I lost myself © Kacie Diaz
Traveling Europe
has been on my bucket
list for as long as I can
remember. I always want-
ed to see new places and
faces while making mem-
ories that no one else but I
could have.
After travelling to Spain
and France I became ob-
sessed with the idea of
traveling to London. It
was like New York yet en-
tirely different, and I just
needed to make it there
some how.
There was this never-end-
ing desire I had to go to
England that I could not
even begin to explain.
The more I tried to con-
tain it, the more obsessed
I became with the Brits.
There was no escape for
me. I started following the
culture from bed in New
York and I knew about
London as if I already
traveled there.
This past summer I was
able to live out a fantasy
that I always created in
my mind. I spent a month
in London and I’ve never
been happier. I did go for
a summer course, but that
just added to the experi-
ence.
It was my first time away
from my parents for over a
week, the first time I was
living on my own, and the
first time I felt free.
At first it was so surreal
I could not believe it was
actually there. Once my
initial shock was over ev-
erything just felt right.
I was only there for one
month, but in that one
month I cooked, cleaned,
and did everything by my-
self. Halfway through my
stay I asked myself; how
I could picture myself liv-
ing there?
I wanted to live in
Shoreditch and ride the
tube to Oxford everyday
for longer than just one
month.
Sadly, my trip had to
come to an end. I packed
my bags back up and I
flew back home. I thought
that I got London out of
my system. You know? I
went there, I don’t need to
go again.
Oh was I wrong.
My obsession became ex-
cessive. I started looking
for “flatemates” and the
average rent rates in all
parts of the city. I was de-
termined to move there. I
came up with a plan.
This was my plan: I would
first transfer within my
current job (Topshop) and
work in the Oxford Circus
location (aka the biggest
and best Topshop known
to man). That was going
to be my foot into the
country. Then I thought
that I’m going to school,
I should probably try to
make use of my degree,
right?
So I told myself that
since that I would work
at Topshop and during the
week I will try to get work
experience at BBC (the
dream job in my opinion).
I thought this plan was
fool proof. Use Topshop
to get to London and once
I’m there further my ca-
reer.
But then I hit a stump.
Topshop is one to help
you grow and move with-
in the company. The one
thing they don’t tell you,
they won’t sponsor you.
I quickly started to talk
myself out of moving to
London.
“I can’t afford a visa.”
“What if I transfer as a
part time employee? I
can’t survive on that pay-
check.”
“I can’t afford rent.”
“I should stay in New
York.”
I convinced myself that
I didn’t need to move to
London. Sure I want in-
stant gratification, but I
can get there someday. I
need to focus on myself. I
need to get experience to
get the job I want.
Here I am, almost a year
after my one month in
London and I’ve never
been more torn.
After I quickly talked my-
self out of moving, put a
hold on searching for Visa
information, and talking
to HR about transferring, I
decided I should focus on
graduating.
I’m graduating this com-
ing May, and the pressure
to get a job after college
never felt harder than in
this moment.
I started seeing others
around me progressing
and succeeding, and I
want to be just like them.
There’s people in my class
that had an internship over
the summer and got of-
fered a full time position.
What if that could happen
to me?
What if I was the lucky
one who got a good job
straight out of college? So
I’ve been applying to in-
ternships after internships
after internships, in hopes
of getting this final intern-
ship that can lead towards
my career.
I’m extremely torn with
what I want to do with
myself. Do I stay in New
York (The best place to
be for TV) and get the
job I always wanted or do
I make my way to Lon-
don and find myself? It’s
a hard decision when I’m
physically in New York
City, but my heart was left
in London.
Surely I need my heart
back, but when will I re-
trieve it?

7. Places You
Want To Go
TORONTO
:
NIAGARA FALLS
If you’ve never been to Toronto or even upstate New
York, your first stop needs to be Niagara Falls. Take a
day to spend it at one of the worlds iconic waterfall.
There are different ways to see the falls: the classic
cruise ride, a beautiful helicopter ride, a daring whirl-
pool jet (If you don’t mind getting soaking wet), and a
viewing deck 775ft above the falls in the Skylon Tower.
You can even get into the falls with the attraction “Jour-
ney Behind the Falls” where a tunnel of bedrock canals
put you behind the falls to experience the thundering
waterfall first hand.
Travel Tip: Make sure to bring your umbrella!
CN TOWER CASA LOMA ROGERS CENTRE
Make sure you visit the tallest free standing structure
in the western hemisphere when you Toronto. The CN
Tower is a Canadian symbol and a staple in the Toronto
Skyline. Take an impressive glass elevator straight to
the top to experience the height of the tower at three
different levels! If you’re feeling adventurous, stand
above the glass floor and see 1,122 feet straight down.
Experience the highest observation platform in the
world by taking an elevator 1,465 feet above the ground
to the sky pod. If your feeling daring than make sure
you get yourself a ticket to the edge walk (the highest
free hand walk around an edge). Look out into the city
or even down at the Rogers Stadium.
On a good day, you can even see Niagara Falls which is
only 100 miles away.
Visit the home of the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Sta-
dium. Its just southwest of the CN Tower. Its a mul-
tifunctional stadium where they host Major League
Baseball games, Canadian Football League games, Ma-
jor League Soccer games and iconic concerts.
Rogers stadium is also the first stadium to have a mo-
torized retractable dome that can open or close in a
short 20 minutes.
The coolest part about the stadium, if you’re inside on
a good day when the dome is open you can look up and
see the CN Tower and wave to all the braving souls on
the EdgeWalk above.
Step back in time and visit the former home to Sir Hen-
ry Mill Pellatt. This gothic style home is complete with
98 rooms with decorated suites and secret passages.
Explore all aspects of the museum and you will not be
disspointed.
Walk the grounds, smell the flowers the garden, and
walk through different parts of the house on three dif-
ferent floors and a lower level.
The home is a great tourist attraction to wander through
the halls, tunnels, and old libraries. If you have the buck
to spend you can even host weddings and events at this

Mount Royal park is the largest park (and highest point)
in the city. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted,
who also co designed New York City’s Central Park.
Take a stroll and admire the beautiful greenery that is
Mount Royal, or hike up to the very top to ski down or
look out into the city.
After a 45 minute hike, a 30 minute bike ride, or a 15
minute drive you will be standing 764 ft above the city.
The top of the park is a gorgeous view of the skyline
that is iconic to Montreal.

9. Hear The Summer
FROM GOVERNORS BALL TO COACHELLA-- travel for music
© GETTY IMAGES
© GETTY IMAGES
Do you like music?
Do you like traveling? If
you answered yes, then
I’m here to tell you that
a music festival is proba-
bly the right thing for you.
The travel experience of
going to a music festival is
something you might have
not experienced before.
The air smells different,
the people seem nicer, and
the music sounds better.
What better way to chill
out and socialize with
friends than listening to
music everyone enjoys?
There are different types
of music festivals that
take place all over the
world, but I have a few for
you that happen right here
in the US.
Starting the list of in our
backyard is Governors
Ball that takes place in
the Big Apple. Governors
Ball is a three-day music
festival that happens in
Randall’s Island. There’s
plenty to expect in music
festivals like this. There’s
plenty of food, lawn
games, face painting, si-
lent disco, and the most
important, the music. The
festival features music
such as indie, pop, folk,
rock, electronic, and much
more.
Fancy a music festival
with an edgier sound?
Then maybe Lollapalooza
is more for you. This Chi-
cago born music festival
started in 1991 and fea-
tures bands and solo artist
all around the world that
specialize in punk rock,
heavy metal, hip-hop and
EDM. Lollapalooza nor-
mally runs for four days,
and comedy shows in be-
tween their headlining
musicians.
If you want to listen to
fewer musicians and more
DJs, you should get a tick-
et to one of the five loca-
tions the Electric Daisy
Carnival (EDC) travels to
throughout the US. EDC
features some of the best
EDM DJs from all over
Europe. It is one of the
largest electronic festivals
outside Europe. It stays
true to its name because
there’s plenty of carnival
rides spread throughout
the grounds.
One of the most popular
music festivals in North
America that has risen in
popularity over the last
few years is Coachella.
Coachella is a two-week-
end music and art festival
that takes place in the des-
sert. Celebrities and music
fanatics around the world
travel to Indio, California
to be apart of this “hippie”
experience. What have
made Coachella so pop-
ular are its campgrounds.
Partygoers set up tents
and camp out all through-
out the festival.
Have no fear! If you don’t
want to spend all dates at
the festival (or if you can-
not afford the dates) you
can always buy a one-day
general admission ticket.
All festivals release their
lineup and dates prior be-
fore ticket sales so you
can make your decision.
These tickets sell out fast
so get yours today!

10. More
Than
A Groupie
AT THECN TOWER
© Kacie Diaz
© Kacie Diaz
The best thing I
ever did in my last few
years as a teen, and my
first few years as an adult
was being a fan girl.
Some might even say
I’m a groupie, a person
who tends to follow their
adored celebrities from
place to place. I have to
agree that it might be true
because I’ve done exact-
ly that and I must say it’s
been a great experience.
Music is something that
is so important to me be-
cause it’s a way people
can express them. It’s also
something that can pro-
vide an escape from reali-
ty for us listeners. There’s
no better feeling in the
world than seeing your fa-
vorite musician come on
stage with the lights and
the atmosphere. You’re
taken out of singing alone
in your bedroom or car,
and you’re placed in a gi-
ant arena filled with peo-
ple who love the one thing
you do.
I’ve always been one to
attend concerts of my fa-
vorite musicians and even
attended multiple concert
dates to see the same show.
I’ve been asked before if
I ever get tired of seeing
the same show more than
once and the answer is no.
Are you ever tired of lis-
tening to the same song at
home or even re-watching
one of your favorite mov-
ies?
As of last summer I did
something I never did be-
fore, I travelled for a con-
cert. I was waiting for my
favorite band or artist to
come to my city so I fol-
lowed them. I packed my
bags and left the state to
listen to my favorite mu-
sic live.
It doesn’t matter who I
saw or what music I liked,
what matters is the expe-
rience I had, which I’m
encouraging you to have.
I realized on my first trip
to Toronto (yes, I left the
country for a concert) that
I should have done this
sooner.
Not only was I going
to see a concert I’ve been
waiting for, but I was able
to explore the world with
my friends while doing it.
We made it a weekend trip
so we can explore the city
before and after the show.
My most memorable ex-
perience was my trip to
Toronto. I went there with
nothing in mind but to see
a concert. While walking
around the city, I passed
by the CN Tower and
found out that they do the
edge walk there.
I immediately knew I had
to do it.
Its rewarding to look back
now and think that I would
have never gone to Toron-
to, let alone walk along
the edge of a building if
it wasn’t for music. Music
has given me so much in
my life. Music gave me
enjoyment, friends, and
my personal favorite, an
excuse to travel.

11. 48 HOURS IN HOLLYWOOD
LOS
ANGELES,
CALIFORNIA
BY KACIE DIAZ
JFK TO LAX-- 48 hour trip west © GETTY IMAGES
Ispent 48 hours in
California. I’ve always
seen contests for a trip for
two to places around the
world and I never believed
I would be one in of them.
My friend entered a con-
test from a clothing line
called Candies, who was
promoting Fifth Harmo-
ny and she won a free trip
for 2 to LA California to
attend the teen choice
awards.
This was my first time
traveling alone so I was
super nervous. I have nev-
er travelled that far before
so it was a new experience
for me, but I wouldn’t
trade it for anything.
I had the best time of my
life.
So we left on Saturday,
August 15. Our flight was
at 5pm, which I wasn’t
too happy about because
I wanted to get there ear-
ly and spend the day. We
only had two nights to
spend in L.A., but I still
had a great time.
We got off of our flight at
10pm and went straight to
the most popular burger
joint on the west coast; In-
n-Out Burger.
We took an Uber to our
hotel and stayed at the
JW Marriot, which was
such a beautiful hotel. We
walked around the hotel
to check it out, and then
went to bed because we
had an early morning the
next day.
We set our alarm for
7:00am since this was our
only day to explore, and
so we went to the Holly-
wood Walk of Fame. We
walked around and got to
see all the stars and the
Chinese Theatre.
Then we went to
get our makeup done at
Sephora for the awards
show.
We just so happened to be
staying at the same hotel
as Fifth Harmony and got
to see them leave while
we waited for our car to
pick us up and take us to
the awards.
We had amazing seats
and it was my first award
show.
It was the best experience
ever.
We go to go to the after
party and saw a bunch of
celebrities. We had fun
dancing and then it was
time to go back to the ho-
tel as our flight was early
the next morning.
Time always flies when
you’re having fun. The
time I spent in California
was the best 48 hours I’ve
ever experienced.
Spontaneous trips are the
ones that end up being the
most memorable.

12. Broke Friends Who Travel Traveling when you’re broke is
tough.
Start saving your pennies
because this is how I travel with
an empty wallet.

Traveling with
friends can always be fun,
but when doing so you
need to make sure you all
are on the same page when
it comes to certain things.
Going on a trip can be very
pricey, and if you’re broke
(like me) then you’re go-
ing to be on a tight budget.
For example, if you’re
traveling in a group you
can always split the cost
of a hotel, transportation,
and food. Finding some-
one in the same situation
as you is beneficial be-
cause you are able to save
money and they’ll under-
stand.
I recently went to Canada
with a group of friends for
a concert and we planned
this trip throughout the
year. We bought tickets to
see our favorite band One
Direction early in October
and the concert would be
in August. This was one
of the first big purchas-
es I had made because I
was leaving the country.
Fast forward a couple of
months, we purchased
our plane tickets in April
and then booked a hotel,
which we split two ways.
Make sure the people you
are traveling with have
the same bank as you or
at least have apps where
they can transfer money
in case of an emergency
where you need to split
the cost of something.
QuickPay is a lifesaver in
all situations!
In order to save money,
plan out exactly what you
are going to do and how
much these things are go-
ing to cost you.
A good tip is to write
down everything you are
wasting money on in or-
der to keep track of how
much you are spending.
It helps you save money
and control your spending
habits as opposed to reck-
lessly swiping your credit
card!
Not only this, but skip-
ping meals also helps! Be
real, you’re only going
to spend your money on
drinks anyways! The cost
of drinks will be practi-
cally nothing because you
can also get those for free.
What I always do is buy a
bunch of snacks the first
night while you’re there
and just make them last
throughout the whole stay,
or maybe you’ll get lucky
and you find free food
somehow. It’s happened
to me before!
Overall, being cheap is the
struggle, so find friends
that are just as cheap as
you and you’ll be fine.
You can always slave
your days away at work
when you get back from
vacation to save up all
that money you just spent
while doing God knows
what in another country.
