In February Alex told me he was studying abroad for a semester in Australia and New Zealand. I had not really even thought about studying abroad for myself as I thought it was too far out of my reach. With some encouragement from my friends, Alex, and Glenda and Jason I decided to apply to the DIS program in Copenhagen to study biomedicine. In mid April I found out that I had been accepted to the program and thus the journey began. I applied for a new passport and filled out paperwork for Gustavus and DIS and suddenly the school year had ended. In late July I finally got to pick my classes abroad and ever since I have been waiting to start.

The official journey begins January 12th, 2024 and I’m just here to document my experiences before, during, and a little bit after the four months I will be gone. I can’t wait to experience a new school, country, and continent over the next few months and to document these experiences for anyone to read :) please enjoy and watch out for my spelling and grammar mistakes!
