Hello people of the internet-roaming world. My name is Erika vonSchrenkel. This year I am spending my junior year of highschool in Lima, Peru. I will be leaving this month, and will be staying there for the next 10 months. Since I am going to be there for such a long time, I will probably have a lot of great stories to share with you. I have decided to start a blog so all of those who are interested, can follow what I have been up to.

I will give you an idea of what I have been doing for my upcoming trip. This past month I received my guarantee letter which says I will have a host mother, sister and brother. I have been in contact with them and they are very nice & I can’t wait to meet them! My school is a Catholic school so I will have to wear a uniform, even for gym! This is very different from my lifestyle at home, but I will enjoy it.

That's all for now, follow up next week for my countdown.

Thanks (:
Erika
