Greetings, New Friends!

and welcome to by blog. My name is Catherine, and I am an undergraduate student studying Biological Anthropology and Biology. Please come along and join me on my journey abroad.

Where I am going

This semester, I will be studying at the University of Sussex, just outside of Brighton. Brighton is on the southern coast of England, about a two hour train ride out of London.

My Plan

Throughout the course of this semester, I will be taking pictures, creating videos, and writing posts that catalog my experience abroad. I plan to take you on virtual adventures with me as I get trapped by typical tourist destinations, escape to find hidden treasures, find a home on campus, and hopefully a have unique, unforgettable experience. I don’t want to just tell you about the so-called “exciting” things that everyone expects to hear about; I want to immerse you in British culture by sharing with you every day occurrences and typical life experiences.

Our adventures begin on the 14th when I arrive at Heathrow airport. I already have a packed schedule with a dinner on campus, a tea outing in Brighton, and a tour of London. Once the semester begins, it will be full of both activities on campus and excursions elsewhere. My fun will be your fun, my good times will be your good times, and my experience will be your experience. Get ready to study abroad with me and my GeoBlog.

As a Post Script…

In addition to wanting to share my experiences with you, my new internet friends, I want to learn from this experience, both about myself as a person as well as in terms of gaining knowledge. I have thus taught myself to code html for the occasion. Please bare with me as I discover the mechanics of this new language.
