What is something you would like the blog readers to know about you that they wouldn’t know by just looking at you?

I would like readers to know that I have two little sisters that have helped me become the best version of myself. I love seeing live music and spending time in the sun.

What is one thing that you are most anticipating about your study abroad experience?

I am anticipating trying lots of different new things. I am excited to live in the heart of a big city, since I have only ever lived in suburbs and on DU’s campus. I am also excited to learn how to navigate new forms of transit, as I plan to venture around Europe. Another thing I am looking forward to is trying different authentic cuisines.

Why did you decide to study abroad? or What inspired you to study abroad?

I have always known that I have wanted to study abroad. My family instilled a love for traveling in me and I am very thankful to have some travel experience already under my belt.
