Happy Friday! After the full week of travel during Reflective week, it has been refreshing to be back in Liverpool this week!

Farewell Krakow!
Hello friends! Welcome to my last study abroad blog post. Can you believe it? This last week was definitely full. On Sunday, I spent the day with my parents in Old Town on their last full day in Poland. We went to English Mass at St. Giles in Old Town, and enjoyed shopping and exploring …
