My name is Quinn and I am currently a senior at UMD. I am a double major in Education and Spanish Studies with a minor in Psychology. Growing up, I was a third-culture kid that grew up living in New Delhi, India for four years and in Nairobi, Kenya for three years. I took a gap year in 2021 and moved to Elverum, Norway for a year to learn Norwegian and travel around Scandinavia. This past Spring, I studied abroad in Cusco, Peru. Studying abroad in college is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I look forward to helping and inspiring others to embark on this amazing experience!

Best advice to a future study abroad student:
