Hii reddit! 🐡

This is my first time writing to reddit community and I'm super excited tbh hehe

I've been thinking a lot of discovering more around the world, and I personally love UK's cities (in general). I've visited Bournemouth and a bit of London. This year, I'd like to do a small trip, around 3-5 days (edit: but I'll probably extend this or my next trip) to somewhere historical and whimsical. I'm a huge nerd for art history and history in general lol

edit: if you're willing to make new friends, let me know! I'd love to know your favourite places to take coffee :)

I've been looking to Bath, Lake District and places near London. Do you know what's the best to travel in November/December?

Do you have any tips? From where to stay, what to see, hidden gems and where to eat on a budget between Bath and Lake District?

I'll leave some pics of my vibe hehe

Thank you so much,

Junnie xx

p.s.: I didn't express myself 100% in the title, and I'm sorry for that. I don't see locals as "new creatures", I just truly wanted to meet new people, learn new things and enjoy little places locals like to go around them when everything is too stressful. I'm looking forward to learn new things with them and not divine them. Just to make 100% sure everyone understands this misunderstanding

My large, grey suitcase was missing at the terminal station (London Euston), while a similar looking bag stored in the same place was being left abandoned. The train was the avanti west coast coming into London Euston at 12:38. The attached bag is the one we found. If you have my bag, please reach out. Thanks!!

Study Abroad Cell Service Options

0 Upvotes

i will be studying abroad in london from the us from january-april 2027 and my parents and i are trying to figure out the best option for cell service. im also planning travel throughout europe during that time. i would strongly prefer to be able to make phone calls and texts outside of whatsapp. unlimited data would be preferred. i know there are esims that give you a uk phone number but i don't know if that would cause problems if i try to login to something and it sends a verification code to my us number, or if it would just be annoying having to give everyone who wants to contact me a new number. we have at&t and roaming is expensive but maxes out at a certain price per month and we're willing to pay that if we have to because it would guarantee i can make unlimited calls, text, and use data. are there any esims that would do all that, or should we just suck it up and pay the roaming fees?
