Introduction

I'm Rob, and this blog is a place where my friends and family (and, eventually, the Merton College travel fund and the Citi Foundation, who sponsor me and take reports on my activities) can keep up-to-date with the details and photos of my semester abroad at Princeton in New Jersey, from mid-September to late December. I won't publish my phone number, Skype name, or my US address on this blog for obvious reasons, but if you want any of them then ask me on Facebook, by email, or ask my parents.

I'm going to spare you the details of my visa applications, travel immunisations or the joy of packing, so my first real post on this blog won't be until I actually land in the good ol' US of A.
