ABOUT ME
Namaste! Hello! As per the title of this website, my name is Anna. As I type this intro, I am 18 years old and currently reside in upstate New York. I have also lived in Gurgaon - a city in the National Capital Region (NCR) of India. As a twin and one of four siblings, I grew up in a fairly large family. The diversity of backgrounds my parents (and now step parents) hold have greatly enhanced my curiosity about the world. As I learned going to India, it is best to enter a new country with little expectations. Learning as I go, if I am able to recount even a portion of my adventures online, I will consider this blog a success.

Though I have few expectations in terms of cultural differences I will encounter in China, I do have some hopes for my future. Though I have discovered a passion for studying abroad, my long term goal is to go to medical school (in the US) in the hopes of one day becoming a surgeon. Once student debt is paid I hope to return to India to aid in medical care and perhaps policy related to public/global health.
Study abroad is the single most effective way of changing the way we view the world. -IES Abroad |
