Stella is currently a mechanical engineering student at the University of Colorado Boulder, where her goal is to always have at least one foot out of her comfort zone. When she is not on the engineering grind, she is passionate about playing guitar, backpacking, climbing, dancing, or really anything that will get her outside and soaking up the sunshine. Being raised in a French/English bilingual household, she grew up with an appreciation for other cultures and traveling. As she continues on her journey toward adulthood, she hopes to keep experiencing the unfamiliar and become an increasingly global citizen.

My name is Mitchell and for as long as I can remember I have loved adventuring and seeing new places. I came from a family who loved trying new things especially when it came to food. I love being able to experience new cultures and ideas by being fully immersed in a new place. My dream is to never stop adventuring and I hope study abroad is just the start of my adventures.

Josh is currently a Junior at Wofford College studying abroad in Salamanca, Spain for the 2022-2023 academic year. He is from Travelers Rest, South Carolina, and loves photography, writing, sports, the outdoors, and thrifting. He has especially gotten into 35mm film photography over the past few years, and loves the whole development process. Given the unique experience of being in Salamanca for the year, Josh has spent a lot of dedicated time attempting to capture an immersive cultural experience studying abroad.

Hi! My name is Alexandra Carrillo and I am a 2nd year at my university. I am studying International Relations and Spanish with emphases in politics and security and Latin American literature. I am from the USA and México and I often travel between the two. My hobbies include embroidering, painting, and reading (my favorite genres are romance and history). A fun fact about me is that I have a twin sister who goes to the same university as me (we are fraternal and people still mix us up!). I look forward to documenting my journey abroad and the people and places I'll meet along the way!

My name is Kai da Luz and I am a current sophomore at Villanova University who is studying in Salamanca. I love to play volleyball and am a major foodie.

Hello! My name is Klara! I'm studying sociology and the visual arts in hopes of understanding how visual language and culture are used in the creation and development of society. I am fascinated with the way people interact with the visual world, and I love learning about new forms of craft and creation! In my free time I like to paint personal experiences and try out new artistic techniques inspired by my studies.

Hi! My name is Adriana, but my nickname is Adri. I am currently a sophomore at California Lutheran University and I am a biology major and business minor. I am from Honolulu, Hawaii and some of my favorite things to do are to spend time with friends and family, play soccer, take pictures, and go on adventures! I am super excited to explore Italy and learn all about Italian culture.

Hi, my name is Paige and I am studying abroad in Rome in the spring of 2023! I am a Psychology and Health, Medicine, & Society double major with a minor in marketing at Lehigh University. Fun fact about me is that I love to travel, but I have lived in the same house my whole entire life. I also love going on long walks in my free time, so I hope you enjoy a lot of walking content!

Hello! I'm Daeun Kim, and Daeun means Everything is God's Grace in Korean, so I got my English name "Grace" from there. I'm from South Korea, and I'm majoring in elementary education to be a future educator :)

Ciao! I'm Noland and I'm from Manteno, IL, a small town about an hour south of Chicago. Now, I am attending The George Washington University in Washington, DC, as a sophomore, where I am studying Political Science. In 2016 I visited Italy and Rome and saw how beautiful it was and I knew I wanted to study abroad here. I have been a photographer for the last 6 years and loved just about every minute of it!
