A new beginning

Hey guys,

my name is Megan, I'm an 18-year-old girl from Germany doing an exchange year in Pennsylvania, more precisely in Philadelphia, where I visit the Central High School. I arrived 2 months ago and I feel pretty comfortable now. The start was hard, but my new family members and my school mates integrated me quickly and I already have a few friends. Most of the time I spend with my host sister, who is the same age as me. The family also has another child - a one-year-old baby.

I want you to participate in this adventure, that's why I started this blog. I hope you like and enjoy it!

Philadelphia, or we call it Philly, is an amazing city - there are many great places to visit. And did I already mention the "Philly Cheesesteaks"? - infinitely delicious !! The best place I've visited is the Philadelphia Museum of Arts - I love it !

I haven't seen much of the rural areas yet, but I'm looking forward to getting to know them.

Here are some first impressions:
