| Egypt in April |
Hiya! I'm Arbre Salem, and I'm a Junior studying Political Science with a minor in International Law here at Bloomsburg. I am from Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, where I have been based most of my life.
The first surprising fact about me is that I have a twin sister, Ava, who is also studying environmental science here. While we are twin sisters, we rarely look alike, only in the right lighting.
The next surprising fact about me is that last semester, I had the opportunity to study abroad in England for a whole year with Ava! This gave me the chance to travel to many countries easily, including Ireland, Germany, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Switzerland, and my favorite by far, Egypt. By doing a foreign exchange through Bloomsburg, I essentially lived in England for less than it would have been to live in a dorm on campus!
My final surprising fact is that I plan on graduating with my Bachelor's and immediately moving back abroad! I loved seeing many diverse countries, peoples, languages, and ideas. Currently, my plan is to join the Peace Corps in Morocco, help children in need, strengthen my Arabic, and after I am hoping to continue my education for my master's in Berlin!
Arbre, I loved how you talked about your experience studying abroad! I visited Germany and Switzerland last summer and loved learning about their cultures.
ReplyDeleteWow! Being able to visit all of those countries must have been a great experience. The only place out of the country I have visited was Bermuda, and talking with the locals there was a lot of fun. Hope your time in the Peace Corps allows you to do great things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Arbre. You have the travel bug to be sure. I've been to some of the places you mentioned, but not all. Egypt is pretty high on my list. I lived in Turkey as a teen, so I'm curious what part you visited. We'll get to chat more when I see you as our new student work in the department!
