So I spent two months in Ethiopia, and my first trip out of Addis was a weekend spent in the holy and ancient city of Harar; getting lost in the colourful streets, listening to the call to prayer from all 99 mosques in the morning and eating far too much Ethiopian food. Where's the most colourful city you've been to? 🌈 My last UK trip before I left for Africa was a day in Cambridge with my best friend. This old city has some of the most beautiful architecture I've ever seen, and the highlight of the day was a punting cruise along the River Cam to see the famous Bridge of Sighs. I can only imagine how magical it would be to attend one of these prestigious schools. Where did you go to collage? Every time I visit a new city I'll make the effort to go to the museums and galleries, but London has some of the best (free!) museums in the world! My two favourite are the @sciencemuseum and the @natural_history_museum. You can't miss these! Where's your favourite? I'm not afraid to admit I'm a bit obsessed with Harry Potter. I got my first book when I was 8 and I've spent a lot of the last 20 years reading, watching and gaming Harry Potter. I've even got a tiny tattoo on my wrist, the stars from the pages of the books. To visit the @wbtourlondon was an absolute dream. We spent an entire day walking back and forth between the sets and the props and I still feel like I haven't seen enough. Good job I have an excuse to go back with the new Forbidden Forest addition! Have you been? ☇ Regardless of how beautiful Cornwall is, I don't want to move back there. Brighton has my heart. It's got the beach, civilization, history and culture, plus it's really close to London's airports so I can get away to Europe for long weekends. It also happens to be the second most expensive place to live in England, so I'll have to keep dreaming. Where's your ideal place to live? 🐚 I'd be lying if I said I didn't love visiting Platform 9 and 3/4 at King's Cross Station or the Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker Street more than anything else in London. There's also a TARDIS outside Earl's Court Station if you're a Doctor Who fan, which I am. Anyone else here a huge nerd? 🤓
