Summer adventures in Oxford

Last summer, I got to spend some time at Oxford International House in Oxford, and honestly, it was amazing! From the moment I got there, I was surrounded by cool activities and met so many great people.

One of my favorite parts was going paddling. We hopped into these little boats and floated around some gorgeous scenery, which was just so peaceful. Another super cool experience was visiting the British Parliament. I got to learn about how it all works and even see where the debates happen, which was really fascinating.

And let’s not forget the food! We got to taste different cuisines each week—like Chinese and Mexican—and it was such a fun way to explore new cultures. Now I’m totally in love with Mexican food!

In short, it was a summer full of adventure, learning, and great memories!
