Inspired by the Life in the UK handbook and test, I’ve embarked on a year-long journey to experience the UK firsthand.

Each chapter of the book has become my personal travel guide. From visiting historic landmarks to exploring art and traditions, I’m actively engaging with the British culture.

The latest chapter has transported me back in time to the Tudor and Stuart eras. To truly understand this period, I’ve planned a series of immersive experiences:

  • Shakespeare’s Globe: A visit to this iconic theater will bring me closer to the works of the Bard and the Elizabethan era.
  • The Golden Hind: A replica of Sir Francis Drake’s famous ship, this maritime museum offers a glimpse into the Age of Exploration.
  • Elizabethan Films: I’ll be delving into movies that portray the life and times of Queen Elizabeth I.

By experiencing these firsthand, I’m not just learning about history; I’m feeling it. The Tudor and Stuart periods are coming alive in a way that a textbook simply cannot replicate.
