Chapter 1: In Which Kaitlin Makes a Friend

In the beginning, I'll admit, I was a tad self-doubting about the whole "making friends" thing. Questions raced through my mind like "What if no one likes me?" and "What if I spend the entire year holed up in my room, with no friend with whom to go for a pint??"

And then I was proved wrong, as usual.

I made a friend on my third day in London. Her name is Kristin and she's from New York and she's awesome. I've also met people from Australia, the Czech Republic, Canada, Britain, Greece, and Lebanon. It's pretty amazing.

Photos to promise soon - just need to figure out how to make the photos go AFTER the last one instead of BEFORE...oi

The Beginning: Arriving in London

Well everyone, I've arrived in London! It's a beautiful city, and it actually hasn't rained yet! Amazing, no??

I'm going out to explore some more now...but look forward to some photos tomorrow!

It's almost time!

Hello friends and family. Welcome to my blog! Three days and counting until I fly off to London, England, from less-populated but still oh-so-cool Toronto.

I will miss you all.

But I'm looking forward to an amazing adventure! Check back throughout the year for photos and (hopefully humourous) stories about my year abroad...
