I grew up in the small town of Tahlequah, Oklahoma where I lived with my parents and sister. I currently attend Princeton University, Class of '17. I am a LEDA Scholar.

Hey, I'm Shreeya, a sophomore studying Biochemistry and French at Purdue University. In my free time I enjoy playing my violin, cooking, and reading just about everything under the sun. As an avid traveler, I am super excited to spend my summer in Paris and share my experience with everyone.

I am a sophomore studying at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In my free time I like to spend time with friends and family. I also enjoy going out to town and trying new things, such as food and activities. I like to explore new places. I am excited to be studying in Rabat this summer and I hope that blogging about it will help record all the experiences I hope to have.

Abbi Vandersnick, a transfer student from Houston, Texas and graduating senior for the school year of 2014/2015, that couldn't be more excited! Currently serving her Co-ed Fraternity's executive board and filming through her major, she spends her free time playing guitar and painting. Always looking for a new experience and character development (for writing scripts), being abroad in London will surely suffice!

I'm Montana, and was born in New York (no, not in Montana), then some years later moved to Canada. I like trying new foods, helping others, dancing around, playing with kids, and meeting people. Above everything I absolutely love traveling, hence the IES summer abroad and studying foreign relations. Currently I'm at Georgetown University, studying development and diversity in the Pacific and African regions.

I'm Dorothy Moore, a recently-declared Geography and Education Studies major at Macalester College. I am originally from Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, so I am most comfortable in cities with public transportation, bike routes, and corner coffee shops. My favorite words are wanderlust (love of travel) and fervent (having great intensity of spirit) and I try to live with them as guiding principles. I love to read and write, and I am always looking for a new story to tell. I don't know where I'm headed, but for now, I'm happy just exploring.

My name is Connor Cook- nice to meet you! I'm a 21 y/o from the naval town of Annapolis, MD studying Computer Science at the University of Maryland. I like to lead a colorful life, try new things- I run, I tweak computer things, I watch anime, and I love electronic music (and tea). As I pack my camera, I can only think of all the friends I'll make, places I'll see, and food I'll savor!
