Pre-Departure

In exactly 5 days, I will be boarding a plane and flying from Charlotte to New York to Paris to Newcastle, then catching a taxi to my new home for the next 5 months. I haven't begun packing, but I've been doing plenty of research on how to start. I've said most of my goodbyes already. I've shed plenty of tears. I've done all the paperwork; now all there's left to do is go.

This blog will serve as a journal of my travels while I study abroad at the University of Sunderland, England this semester. I don't have a plan or template to follow, other than to just write in the hopes of remembering everything I will have done in the upcoming months. Feel free to comment or ask questions throughout my time abroad -- I'm here to tell you all about my adventures :)
