Hi! I'm Harper Davis, and I'm spending the next three months studying abroad in London, England. I grew up in Rolesville, NC, and went to Rolesville Elementary School just like you all! I was in Mrs Barbour's AIG class from third to fifth grade, then went to Rolesville Middle and Rolesville High School.
After graduating, I moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to study theatre, music and dance at Coastal Carolina University. I've spent the last two years there, other than the summers when I work at a camp called Camp KidJam that travels to a different state every week. I love to travel and explore new places, and I take lots of road trips around the United States to places like Florida, New York, and Atlanta, GA.
Did you know that London is the theatre capital of the world? I'm living right next to the West End, which is the United Kigndom's version of Broadway. I get to see a new play every week with my school, and I'm taking classes with actors and directors that are still performing today. This is my first time traveling outside of North America, and I'm so excited to tell you about everything I do, and to discover all the new things you want to know about. I hope I get to hear about your journeys too!
