Participating in the program in 2010 was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Not only did I get to know many new people and places, but it also allowed me to forge wonderful friendships with people from other countries that continue to this day. It was a dream location, and living with 70 other students made those months an infinite adventure and created memories that still last to this day.

Today

I am an accountant, I run my own office, and I am also a university professor.

Life Now

I don't have a kid, but I do have a long-time partner and a dog.
