I love to be physically active! Whether it is lifting weights in the gym, pilates, or tennis, I love to move my body. I am also an introvert who likes reading and binge-watching new anime that comes out each season!
Early this Monday morning U.S. Central Time the IES Abroad website will undergo scheduled maintenance. During this time some or all features of the site - like login and account creation - may be unavailable, but we expect this disruption to be brief. Thank you for your patience.

Hi, I'm Kamryn Washington! I love to play soccer, cook, travel, watch sunsets, eat candy, drink Sprite, rewatch movies, and go on night drives blasting music with friends. Studying abroad in Spain is fulfilling a dream I've had since 8th grade :)
My name is Jaden Montoya and I am a Sophomore at the University of Missouri. I transferred here this semester from the University of Northern Colorado where I played club hockey for the school. I enjoy watching sports, lifting, and being with friends.
I am a Polish-American from Dallas, Texas, and I am majoring in Hotel Administration at the Cornell Nolan School. I love to bake (I even have my own cookie business evascookies.com), go to concerts, and lift weights. I am also an avid coffee drinker!
I’m Emily Harrison. I was a military brat, so I love traveling as much as I love breathing. Travel and seeing new sites in a different way will always be the best part of my day.
So you’ve made your decision – you want to study abroad.
Maybe it’s something you’ve been wanting to do for years. Maybe it was a spontaneous idea. Either way, that decision has brought you here – a little place I’d like to call “Now What?”

Salut, mes amis!
My name is Jenna Hughes and I'm studying away in Paris, France this summer.
So this is for all my language learner peeps. The ones who can have hybrid conversations, the ones who never stop thinking about grammar rules, the ones who feel simultaneously comfortable and uncomfortable abroad.
