To be a city girl…

It’s officially day 4 in London!!!

It’s been a journey full of firsts for a simple girl from Pottstown, PA. I was on an airplane for the first time since I was 3 on Tuesday, I was outside the U.S. for the first time on Wednesday. I got an oyster card and rode a public bus on Wednesday and rode the train today (Saturday). Still not sure if I’ll end up being a city girl but it’s good to know it’s feasible.

All that may sound super simple but it is these little things that are reassuring me that I’ll be ok. Going away from home for 3 months to another country was a tad scary a year ago but I have great people here with me and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’m naturally introverted with anxiety and depression amongst other diseases and illnesses that should stop me from living and everyday is a battle but the struggle makes me stronger. Don’t let anything stop you from doing what you dream of, even yourself.

Here’s to adventures, lessons, and maybe more stamps in my passport…
