Paige Ermann
My name is Paige Ermann, I am studying abroad spring semester 2015 in London at Queen Mary University of London. I leave tomorrow, and I couldn’t be more excited. In the days leading up to today, I was a bit nervous, simply because I didn’t know if I would be able to fit everything I…
getting settled & first adventures
Upon arrival, it was like being thrown into a completely new world. Everything was different and nothing was familiar. Having only an intermediate level of Spanish to go off of, I was excited but completely and definitely scared.

¿Are We There Yet?

The idea of being able to be surrounded by another culture and being able to experience living in a completely different situation intrigued me.
