Welcome! 32 days until LONDON

Cheerio!

Welcome to my blog for my London adventure! In 32 days, I will be traveling across the pond to the great city of London, England for a three week study abroad through my University. I am so excited! It has been a lifelong dream of mine to visit London and explore its culture, history, and the surrounding countryside and this is a perfect opportunity. I am traveling with a group of 6 other students, 1 graduate assistant and 1 professor and we are sharing a downtown London flat for the time we are there (just like real Londoners!).

While in London I will be completing a research project on the effects of World War II on London and it's people (I know, I am a huge history nerd). I have been studying and researching this topic all semester and while in London I will complete my research and get the hands-on experiences related to the project. I am very passionate about this topic and as a History major, I could not think of a better research topic. My research will be documented here along with all my other British adventures!

Well, I am going to get back to work on my London itinerary (I needed a break, it was giving me a headache). My OCD and type A personality has reared its head during this planning process and you should see the lists, spreadsheets, and budgets....

Check back in soon for some of my planned activities and research!
