Introduction

'Ello, mates! This blog is going to be filled with all things London! From August to December, I spent my fall semester studying abroad in the most magical city in the world. Everyday, I think about how grateful and lucky I am to have been able to spend 4 months becoming an independent and mature individual. I've never learned so much about myself and the world in such a short amount of time. I'm here to share my unique experiences and to show my readers how important it is to spend a significant time abroad. Wherever the road my take you, whether it be London, Rome, Paris, Madrid, Vienna; Europe is a vast and magnificent place to meet new people, see new places, and eat delicious food!

Not only did I live in London, but I travelled to 11 cities and 10 countries. I was able to travel on the weekends with my friends from Fordham. After spending a three-day trip with my friends, you create a bond that is unexplainable. From booking a $20.00 flight to Dublin on a "low-cost" airline to spending a weekend in a 3-star hostile, you'll never know who you will meet and what experiences you may go through. One of the most important lessons I learned was to keep an open mind and be able to step outside your comfort zone because change is inevitable.

What I want to do with this blog is not only share my experiences in Europe, but to also show readers the right way to study abroad in London. There are many things in London that I wasn't able to do because I was busy spending 2-3 days in another country. The reason students pick one city to study abroad in is to become completely immersed in the city. Although I wish I spent more weekends in London, I have a good amount of experience to help anyone interested in living in the city. I know I will be back shortly after I graduate to live and work in London.

I'm looking forward to future blog posts :)

Cheers!
