Introduction

Hello All!

My name is Noah McDermott and I am a student at the University of Colorado at Denver. I am a senior and am taking Geography 1202 this Fall Semester 2012. I have decided to study the Geography of the White Cliffs of Dover and County Kent, located in South East England, for my blog.

Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of anything British. I also love film and television. I grew up on BBC miniseries, mysteries, and shows, so one of my greatest joys is watching a BBC program or series. For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to live in London, England. I was fortunate enough to visit London when my parents took me on a graduation trip through Europe in 2009. Unfortunately, our time in London only lasted five days and left me wanting more. There are so many places in England and Great Britain I would love to visit and that is why I have chosen to study the White Cliffs of Dover and County Kent. Who knows, I may want to live in County Kent after studying the geography. Not only will these amazing cliffs and the beautiful land be a great way to learn about geography, but I will also be able to learn more about England and all the wonderful places I can and want to visit in the future. All while having some fun!

Check back in soon to explore and learn about the physical geography of the White Cliffs of Dover and County Kent!

  1. Hi,
    My name is David Constantine, and I just happened to come across your excellent blog about the White Cliffs of Dover, because I live on the cliffs, in a village called Capel-le-Ferne, which is about 6 miles west of Dover, and I take an interest in our local geography, including a natural interest in the history and stability of the cliffs, although our property is about a mile back from the cliff, and I wondered if you still have an interest in this area, and if so whether you would like any local information/pictures etc. I notice that you are/were studying in Denver, and that is something else we may have in common, as a few years ago, I visited a company in Denver, in fact I think it was actually in Boulder, and I really liked it so assuming you still live/ study there I would like to know about your area as well. Anyway if you would like to correspond, then my email address is david.constantine1@virgin.net, or you may find me on Facebook, though to be honest I don't use these social media sites very much, as I find them a bit intrusive. However nice to "talk" with you
