I have a great passion for travel. In 2017, I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Northern Ireland for one semester and also traveled to England and Scotland. This experience was life-changing and my love for different cultures and their peoples deepened.  I was also privileged to take an E-term course with Travel Peru. Studying religion in Peru and being engulfed in such a beautiful culture was beyond unforgettable.
