First Steps

Welcome to my blog set aside for my trip to Euorpe. You are probably wondering what an Anglofile is. An Anglophile is a person who loves everything about the British, from the country, to the main land, to the royal family, even down to the Tower of London and fashion.

As a person who has fallen in love with England (and Britain, too), I am extremely excited to be visiting London. I have to say that I have never been excited for anything so much in my life. I am literally psyched out of my mind. As a world traveler, I have gotten down the basics: what to pack, what not to wear, to use the manners I was raised with, and to treat everyone I meet with respect. 

What I did not expect to be so difficult was the little details leading up to the departure. I have such a long to do list. I have to:

1. Clean my room and set aside what to pack

2. Renew my debit card & get my bank accounts in order

3. Renew my Driver's License

4. Purchase an Oyster Card

5. Check the validity of my passport

6. Order text books to come in the mail

But, although I have to do all of these things, I am really excited. I get to go to the country I've always loved and explore and learn alongside friends. It is the highlight of my four years at college. My biggest worry: Recovering from the loans I'll have after college and from this trip.
