A Perspective from Richmond Court
Cheerio! Welcome to my first blog post in London! I arrived to this beautiful city just over two weeks ago. I am living in Richmond Court in a studio with my roommate from Pitt. When I first found out I was living in a studio, I was both sad and excited at the same time….
