Oxford Day Trip

Schuyler, my old roommate from Rome, visited me in London for a few days and I decided to tag along with her to Oxford to visit her sister, who is doing her PhD there.

It was the most adorable little French city that made my heart melt. I couchsurfed a total stranger's house for one night, who turned out to an extremely creative and talented artist. He crafted all his furniture from scratch and would make interesting home pieces out of anything and everything he could find.
