Hello! I am Kaila, born and raised in Middle Tennessee. Although I love Tennessee, I was ready to take a step out of my comfort zone and studying abroad in Sydney, Australia was going to be that step for me. I have never traveled out of the country which can be kind of scary, but this has been the best decision of my life!
Background: I am a Junior at The University of Tennessee. I am a proud fur momma to my little pup named Javy (Yes, after my favorite baseball player). I love hiking, boating, and enjoying life.

Hello, my name is Jack Stockstill and I’m a student at the University of Oklahoma studying Advertising. By studying in Spain, I hope to gain a new appreciation for the language and culture that I will find myself surrounded in. This new perspective will potentially translate into more well-rounded and unique content that will hopefully inspire not only myself but others as well. I will take this opportunity to share what the world looks like through my eyes on a platform dedicated to students experiencing a way of life different from their own.
