She is currently doing a 2-year exchange program at NC State University and had many travel experiences prior to her transition to the US. Her stories are funny, intriguing, and quite insightful. Fun fact: She encountered the first episode of “Connecting the pack” when it was released and loved the idea of highlighting international students’ stories.
