Program: High School Abroad in China
Bio: Ni hao. I grew up Kirkland, Washington about a twenty minute drive from Seattle. I am attending Juanita High school but for my junior year I decided to leap out into a year abroad in China. During my first year in high school I was part of my schools wrestling team, I participated in the Honors Society program, and I help the Theatre club during their productions. Prior to my abroad program I have studied five years of Spanish but had no Chinese language experience. I believe travelling is one of the greatest educational and influential activates in our world today. I look ahead with great anticipation to the next year of my life in Shanghai, China.

Program: High School Abroad in Spain
Bio: Hi! My name is Naomi. I was born in Boulder, CO, but moved to the Sonoran Desert in Tucson, AZ about 5 years ago. Personally, I find the world around me fascinating and wish to travel it thoroughly. I haven’t had many opportunities in the past, except for trips to the nearby countries of Mexico and Canada. To begin my world travel wish, I am presently in Seville, Spain for a semester! I never really knew it was possible to study abroad while still in high school. When I found this was an option, I did everything I could to make my dream a reality. And now it is!

Program: High School Abroad in Spain
Bio: I'm a 16-year-old from a small town outside of Boston, called Lincoln. I signed up for the semester abroad to see Spain and the world, because I've barely ever been outside my hometown and definitely not as far as Europe. I'm excited to see what's to come during the semester. I'm just hoping to make it through and meet some amazing people along the way!
