Olivia L.

Student Traveler
CIEE CBYX Partnership International School: Gering High School (Gering, NE) Hometown: Gering Nebraska

Picture this:

"A Nebraskan girl surrounded by loved ones; she's standing in the rain, a book in hand and pencil in hair, laughing at herself as she attempts to dance along to her favorite song."

In my heart, this is exactly who I am. I am a quirky, outgoing, musical girl who wants to incorporate all I love into a single sentence.
