Birmingham UK

I made a one week trip to Birmingham, UK, at the beginning of July. It was my first trip to the UK, my first trip to England, and my first city turned out to be England’s Second City. Seeing how nice Birmingham was, I hope to make that trip to London some day soon, but Second City certainly ranks as a fine entry point too.

The trip was both for sightseeing and for attending the International Sketchnote Camp 2025. I got in a few days early to get acclimated and to do some sightseeing, and also kept 1 day after the conference to add on a few more sights. The conference itself was wonderful, and having attended last year’s conference in San Antonio, I was able to build on my beginner skills and make new connections.
