Hello All! My name is Liliana, or Lili for short, I’m from a super small town called Bellaire, Ohio, near Wheeling, West Virginia. I am a second-year Architecture student pursuing a minor in Consumer Sciences and Fashion Retail Studies. I have been really looking forward to this study abroad program, London has always been a dream destination of mine due to the very historic features that are very familiar in our own popular culture. Outside of the historical or other tourist attractions I am exited to try as many different restaurants, bakeries, markets, and coffee shops. I also want to “live like a local” in different ways, whether that is mastering finding a cool hangout spot or figuring out transportation and directions. (Which I am normally really bad at!) On my free day I am also wanting to see a musical in West End, as well as various plays and entertainment in places like Piccadilly’s Circus or elsewhere. Overall, I’m super thrilled for a chance to make some new friends on this trip while being able to create new memories and having cool first experiences, such as flying on a plane for the first time and leaving the country for the first time!
