This is not only my first time in London, but it’s my first time blogging, so bear with me.
I’ve always wanted to study abroad and see the world, since as far back as I can remember. Having an Israeli father and American mother, when it came to traveling, it was simply a given. My first time on an airplane was when I was still months old. However, in my childhood, I had only really traveled to Israel to visit family. Then senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to go an international school in Mexico – but that was for only two weeks. One year ago, I had an unforgettable trip through Birthright to Israel and saw the country in its entirety from North to South.
But now that I was no longer a teen, I figured it was time to venture to places that I had never seen before, without my parents or little sister there to hold my hand the whole way. So when I was accepted to study abroad at Queen Mary University of London for the Spring semester in 2013 I was thrilled! And terrified.
So this blog is my way to help me grow up and have you join in the experience. I want to start my blog with something I’ve come to find commonly said in Britain: cheers.
Cheers to new experiences! Cheers to British accents! Cheers to making new friends! Cheers to making memories! Cheers to growing up but always having fun! Cheers to making long distance relationships work! Cheers to good grades! Cheers to drinking legally! Cheers to traveling! Cheers to learning from your mistakes! Cheers to London! And damnit, cheers to me!
