Hi everyone! My name is Leslie Marie Herreros, and I'm so excited to be your new online friend. I can't wait to share my adventures with you!
I was born and raised in New York City and decided to study abroad in London this fall. I'm 19 years old now, but I will be celebrating my birthday in October! So soon!
I chose to study in London because it reminds me of New York City. Both places are cities with people from all over the world. I am an English major, therefore many of my classes will have me reading books and writing essays. Luckily, I enjoy writing stories whenever I get the chance. I hope London and the people I meet there will inspire me to write new stories.
I also love listening to music in my headphones. I hope to take lots of walks around London while listening to music and looking at the pretty buildings. I know London will also have plenty of restaurants with delicious foods! My favorite food is sushi because it is tasty and healthy.
I can't wait to show you pictures, tell you stories, and learn with you. I hope you'll come along on my journey! What would you like to learn about London?
