Why Slovenia?
I have always loved to travel and immerse myself in other cultures. In high school, I had the opportunity to visit Western Europe and I’ve been fascinated with the continent since then. I am especially curious to learn more about Eastern Europe and be able to compare the two areas. In addition, I appreciate how the abroad focuses on literature and language.
What Slovenian landscape feature are you most excited to see, and why?
I am most excited to visit the Julian Alps. I’ve grown up attending camp in the Colorado Rockies so mountains have a special place in my heart. I enjoy viewing the peaks from afar as well as hiking up to the top and witnessing the beauty below.
If you had your own shield/coat of arms, what four qualities would you choose to represent you?
I would choose responsibility, curiosity, creativity, and independence.

Traveling to Slovenia is an excellent opportunity for me to experience a new culture through language, history, and sights, and food. I would like to start a travel blog so I can document the trip in detail and share my highlights with others. I’ve never traveled outside the country with a group of Christian Scientists so I’m incredibly grateful for this special opportunity.
