I live in the cutest town ever.

Camberley is absolutely adorable. We are staying at the Premier Inn, which is in downtown Camberley and the town centre. In the town centre, there is a huge mall... which could be dangerous!! H&M, Topshop and so much more!

Yesterday when I arrived I went to get a UK phone number, which is way cheaper than back home in Canada! Then scheduled some apartment viewings with the only two apartments that were available to rent basically. The first one was horrible. It was in a sketchy part of town, and was above a Subway sandwich shop... so the whole place smelled like subway. It was a two bedroom but the walls, carpets and ceiling was stained and I would have hated to live there. The second flat we looked at was a one bedroom house and a five minute walk from my school (perfect!). I fell in love with it and it is absolutely perfect. It has huge windows and is two stories. The living room and kitchen on the main level and the bathroom and bedroom on the second floor. I don't get to move in until August 29th because it takes a week for paperwork to process and they are doing renovations on it. I signed a lease yesterday!!! The first day in the UK and I have a house and phone! Today, the second day, I opened up a bank account, found a doctors office to register with, and applied for my National Insurance Number.

Camberley is so beautiful. The houses are all old fashioned and made of brick and there are even hiking trails through the wooded areas by my school.

Here are some pictures of my new house :) It is still under renovation so I will post more when it's all cleaned up and once I decorate it. The theme will be pink, white and cream... obviously.
This is the view from the main street. 

The renovation trucks block the door, but this is the front!

Front door with a BEAUTIFUL bay window.. where I will have lots of coffee :)




This is upstairs in my bedroom!


Living room with the kitchen behind it.
