My name is Mariella, I'm a sophomore at Wofford college, and I'm from Atlanta, GA! I love to travel, read, write, paint, draw, play soccer, and be outdoors.

Hola! My name is Adah and I am a junior at North Carolina State University currently studying in Granada, Spain! Though my major is Biology, I have a passion for all things art and Spanish, and you can most likely find me sketching away during the late hours of the night. My current obsessions are gouache paints, crochet, and watching local birds! I'm so excited to share my time exploring Granada with all of you.

Jaden is a sophomore studying Sociology and Spanish at Tufts University. He loves the beach and lakes, hiking, biking, cooking, and playing video games.

I am a biology and Spanish double major who loves travel! Originally, I'm from Danville, Kentucky but I moved south to attend Wofford College last year. I enjoy any outdoor adventures and I am so excited to share my abroad experience with IES!

Hi everyone, I'm Emily McKerrow a Junior a Brandeis University studying Environmental Studies and Hispanic Studies. I'm participating in the Galapagos direct enrollment program through IES in spring 2023 and I'm so excited to share my journey with everyone. Now for a little bit about myself! I'm an identical twin and I really enjoy cooking, baking, astrology, and fashion. You can catch me on the weekends cooking for my friends and hosting indoor picnics when it gets too cold to be outside.

Hi there! I'm from Taos, New Mexico and I go to school at Westminster College, Missouri where I major in both Environmental Science and Spanish Translation. I love studying languages, thrifting, playing videogames, and reading in my free time. A fun fact about me is that I speak three languages fluently: English, French, and Spanish. But I'm working on German right now so hopefully it'll be four!

My name is Emma Stowell. I am a junior at the University of Pittsburgh, studying political science and French. I'm originally from Arlington, Virginia. I love photography, hiking, cooking, and learning languages! I currently only speak English and French, but I have (probably overly ambitious) plans to speak Czech, German, and Arabic eventually.

I am a Political Science and Music double major at Wellesley College who has a passion for travel and is a total foodie! My favorite thing about studying abroad is immersing myself in another culture, and bringing these experiences back to my peers at Wellesley. In my free time, I love to swim, line dance, and cook.

My name is Bobby Marcinauskis and I am a Financial Economics student, at the University of Rochester. In my free time, I like to go to art galleries, journal and embroider. My friends would describe me as an 80 year-old man and a 5 year-old child trapped in a 20 year-old body (Yes, it does get rowdy in there). I am always down to put myself new spaces and explore. I would say I am a lifelong learner. If you let me, I will talk about Economic Theory for hours.

My name is Kaia and I am from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I study Filmmaking, Creative Writing, and Psychology in New York at Sarah Lawrence College. I am a tea enthusiast, a goat-lover, and a visual storyteller. You can always find me wandering aimlessly through the granola section of a grocery store, reading in a coffee shop, or snapping a wide angle photo of my dog.
