London has been a destination city for people from around the world for literally centuries, and it’s certainly no different today. The city is steeped in history, is a melting pot of culture, and is home to some of the most notable works of art and familiar architectural landmarks in the world. To us, it’s also home to many of our favourite shows and films, from Sherlock to Notting Hill and everything in between. Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t bring up Harry Potter.
A few short weeks ago, I hopped on a plane from Vancouver, BC to Portland, OR for the weekend for my 29th birthday. Pretty sweet trip, right? Lots of delicious food. Cool places to visit, and lovely people, no doubt. But, my sole purpose – my main reason for going – was to celebrate my birthday at the joint Walker Stalker Con / Heroes & Villains Event, Fan Fest Portland. Thanks to some careful money-saving as well as gifts from best friends, I went all-out, scored a Platinum VIP ticket, and had the best. Weekend. Ever.
