Where did you study abroad?
In Rome. I also traveled to many locations within Italy as well as Germany, Czech Republic, Sweden, Denmark, and Spain.
What was the best thing about studying abroad?
It’s really hard to sum up the last four months -- new experiences, friendships, learning, and of course, all of the fun that has taken place over the course of the semester. I think that the best way to share this experience is to share the visual notes – photographs and sketches which help to express what I experienced. Studying in another country makes you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world but helps you see the difference that you can make in it.
How did this enrich to your Jefferson experience?
When going home to the United States, to Philadelphia, I was able to take this experience and use what I learned to influence the way I see and experience life in my city.
What's next for you?
After having lived in a foreign place, it opens up the possibility to living and working outside of where I had originally pictured myself.
