During our street art tour  we got to see a lot of Camden. It’s a really cool area that was completely different from the central London that I’m used to! I could definitely see myself living in an area like that. Plus, after hearing our tour guide talk about the revitalizing of the area, I bet it will be an even cooler place to live! There was this one little street that we walked down that had a row of colored houses that were adorable. New dream homes? I think yes.

See?? Aren’t they adorable??!
There were some other cool streets in the area.
The world’s end pub
Love the turquoise door
We then ventured over to Camden Lock Market. I had no prior expectations, not really knowing anything about it. But man was it huge. There was no way we saw close to half of it and we were meandering / struggling through the massive crowds for over an hour! There were tons of vintage stores, several music stores or stores selling items relating to music (e.g. records, clocks made out of old records and 8 tracks, etc), we spent a while at an antique book store and then way too long looking at the doughnut/cronut stand (we each got two #noshame).
Unfortunately, deep inside the market, pictures weren’t allowed in most places. But the pictures I could take show some pretty cool stuff. They sold pretty much everything. It was slightly very overwhelming, and the masses of people made it even moreso but I’m so glad I got to experience it!
lol / creepy
I love these. They had so many varieties (not just dealing with HRH)
More Amy Winehouse tributes!!
One of my doughnuts. YUM.
It turned out to be such a beautiful day (even though it was freezing and I still don’t think I’ve completely thawed out… I kinda wish there was snow, but I’ll take the sun instead! It was nice to get out of the centre of London for a day and experience something completely new. I’m not sure if I’ll have enough time to make it back up to Camden before I leave (my to-do list is still growing which is becoming a problem) so I’m glad I got the chance to see it in a different way, through its street art :)

One of my favorite things about traveling in Franc One of my favorite things about traveling in France is the constant reminder to slow down. ✨ On a spontaneous stop in Tours after a busy morning of castle-visiting, we visited the cathedral (more on that soon) and wandered over to Place Plumereau. My former self would have wanted to maximize sightseeing, making a quick stop and moving on. 💥 However, the groups of people enjoying the beautiful weather with wine and cheese made it impossible to refuse a snack and break myself. 🍷🧀 Sitting on a terrace surrounded by others just ~being~ was a great reminder to slow down and soak up the moment 😌 #lifewellwandered #mindfultravel
What's one thing you always notice when you visit What's one thing you always notice when you visit a historical building? 🤓 I always notice floors and staircases, constantly imagining who used them and the history they've witnessed. ✨ The staircases in the châteaux in the Loire Valley did not disappoint 😍 #lifewellwandered
Château de Châteaudun has one of the largest and Château de Châteaudun has one of the largest and best preserved keeps in France, dating from the 12th century 🤓 at 102 ft (31m) tall, it dominates your view when you visit. SWIPE to see more shots from the château, including centuries-old graffiti from the castle's prisons 😯 #lifewellwandered

Do you prefer French or English gardens? 🌸 Some Do you prefer French or English gardens? 🌸 Something about the symmetry of French gardens (pictured here) is very pleasing to me, but I really dislike the rules that come along — no walking on grass, no random meandering from one spot to another, limited to the confines of your current trajectory. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I enjoy the freedom and wildness (is that a real word?) of English gardens much more! #lifewellwandered
Which half-timbered building would you live in? 🤔 Whenever I'm in Europe, I always find myself drawn to these quirky, wonky buildings, each with a unique history. 🤓 Drop me in any one and I would be content 😍 #lifewellwandered
