<p>Hey there, my name is Megan! I'm from a rural suburb south of Annapolis, Maryland, and like many Annapolitans, I&nbsp;love sailing, summer, and being on the water. When I'm not in my quiet hometown, I'm enjoying (and adjusting to)&nbsp;city life in Baltimore, studying International Studies and Sociology in my first year at Johns Hopkins. This summer, I'll&nbsp;be living and working in a city a bit farther from home: Santiago, Chile!</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior studying psychology at the University of Miami. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do so I am&nbsp;so excited to be studying abroad this summer. I've always been known to have a "passion for fashion," so being able to&nbsp;do a fashion internship in Milan is amazing!</p>

<p>I am an ambitious marketing major at the University of Iowa with the dreams of pursing a career in the cosmetics industry. During my free time, I enjoy taking Instagram worthy photos, drinking overpriced iced coffee, watching investigative journalism shows and lifting heavy weights at the gym. If you ever need to find me, I'll either be at Starbucks, sitting outside on a picnic blanket or strolling through the aisles of Target. While interning in Dublin, I hope to gain real life marketing experience, explore all the major foodie locations and make demonstrate my leadership abilities regardless of my skill levels.</p>

<p>Hi there! I’m Mary-Kate, a food blogger and vegan baking enthusiast. I’m so excited to share my travels with you as I explore the city of Madrid and eat all the vegan food! Something fun about me? I have FIVE sisters (+ three brothers) and we share a little piece of our lives on our Instagram and blog, @sixvegansisters.</p>

<p>Hey there! I'm Patrick, a small town surfer who loves making stuff! For years I've made short videos with my friends and I even won the 2015-2016 Seminole County TV Production Award for Best Comedy. I like being creative wherever possible, whether it be in videos, photography, or even in food.</p>

<p>I'm always trying to take the road less traveled, whether that means skiing the powder only found in the glades, or trying to ride in waves on my boogie board while the rest of my family tans shoreside. Last summer I took the trip of a lifetime when I spent a week backpacking through Olympic National Park in Washington with a friend. It was an experience I will never forget because it showed me the power of pushing my comfort zone.</p>

<p>Dan is the first year at Yale. There is something about the invisible forces control human behavior and make up their knowledge that pokes her curiosity. Don’t get her wrong; she isn’t learning how to mind-control others, but rather to combine knowledge about people’s product preferences and spending patterns to contribute to the field of behavioral economics. When she isn’t listening to podcasts and multitasking, Dan loves to run in her neighborhood and bake for her floormates.&nbsp;</p>

<p>My name is Madalyn and I am 20 years old. I was born and raised in Kentucky, attend the University of Kentucky, and will be studying abroad in Santiago, Chile. I want to use my blog to inspire and be a positive role model for girls and young women interested in the STEM field. I can't wait to share all the adventures I will take and knowledge I will gain while studying medicine in the Spanish language.</p>

<p>I am from Kansas City, Missouri and attend the University of Missouri in Columbia! I am a Human Development major with a Spanish minor and am hoping to attend Nursing school after graduation. I am in a sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, where I have gained awesome leadership experience and met the most amazing people! Just a few fun facts about me: I LOVE concerts and have seen over 125 bands/artists; if given the choice, I would choose the beach over the mountains; and my favorite food is mashed potatoes!</p>

<p>I've always been incredibly passionate about adventure and the outdoors! You can find me backpacking, hiking, scuba diving, or just exploring in my free time. I welcome new experiences and treasure the wonderful people and places these experiences bring me.</p>
