In the Beginning…

I’ve always loved traveling and exploring new places. It’s thrilling to wake up in a foreign place surrounded by a unique culture that you’re unaccustomed to. Before graduation, I wanted to have the time to travel without missing my studies, so studying abroad was a perfect opportunity to do both. I expect to have a wider view of the world after this experience, and I hope to have a better understanding of myself.

Danish Contrast

I aim to balance my classwork with traveling, and I am excited to meet a diverse group of people along the way. Even away from Northeastern, I know that I will continue to budget my time well and take my classes seriously. However, this does not mean that I will forget to make new friends and explore Europe in my free time. I’m honestly not very nervous about this transition to a new school. Because I left California on my own to start school at Northeastern, I have already been through the experience of navigating a new city and culture alone. I’ve been able to make new friends and have a balanced life at Northeastern, and I expect that I can achieve this in Denmark too. I’m most looking forward to a change of scenery. While I love Boston and my college experience so far, I want to challenge myself to adapt to something new.
