Traveler Bio

Hello! My name is Ayisat and I'm originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I love reading, writing, cooking, and trying new things! I also love watching movies and TV shows! One of my favorite activities is checking out the movie theaters to see what's popular! Currently, I attend New York University, which is also called NYU. At NYU, I learn about film and business in New York City! However, this spring, I'm in London to learn more about film and fashion in England. Through NYU's London location, I get to experience living in London, while learning about its history and culture hands-on!

England is a great place to learn about film and fashion because it is one of the oldest cities in Europe! In some of my classes, I get to go on field trips around the city and watch movies! Since arriving, I have loved exploring the endless parks, cafes and museums. I can't wait to share what I learn and experience with you all for the rest of the school year!
