Southampton

As I am counting down the days until I leave for England (16!!) I thought I would give a little more of a background on the city I will be living in, Southampton.
Southampton is a is the largest city in the county of Hampshire on the south coast of England, and is situated 75 miles south-west of London and 19 miles north-west of Portsmouth. Southampton is a major port and the closest city to the New Forest. (It was also the port that the Titanic sailed from).
I visited Southampton last November and even though it was a whirlwind week trip, I remember it being super beautiful. I am very excited to head back and be able to experience it for much longer than one week!
