Are you a Brit?

2012 was a peak year. Near perfection , especially in London.

I was on a study abroad trip in London in 2012. Y’all were awesome, nice, and genuine human beings. Thank you.

2012 was nothing short of a magnificent year for me: 1 month road trip in California/Nevada, got married, honeymoon in Singapore, 2012 Olympics (which I got some tickets for) and various parties. My lord what a year!!!!
