Elias Lopez
Western Washington University
Cusco, Peru
I am a Texas native, though currently studying at Western Washington University in the areas of post-colonialism and food sovereignty. My favorite activities include walking around on hot days, listening to Mama’s Gun by Erykah Badu, and reading autobiographies. I have decided to study abroad in Peru for many reasons, one of them being language acquisition due to the fact that I am Mexican but can’t really speak Spanish. We’ll see how it goes, enjoy my blog!

Hi, my name is Maria Haggart and I am a senior creative writing major at Chapman University! I am studying abroad at the University of Roehampton this semester. One of my goals this semester is to explore London and the United Kingdom more, as I have briefly visited the city before. I love playing games with friends, whether that’s video games or board games, along with traveling to various places. I also love to read and write, so I’m looking forward to being able to write about my experiences and share them along the way!

Hello! My name is Georgia Verslues, and I am currently studying journalism at Missouri State University. This semester I will be attending Kingston University in England.
