Before being able to participate in the Study Abroad 2015 trip to Jamaica, I had never been out of the country, so I wasn’t quite sure exactly what to expect. By the time the adventure was coming to an end, I wasn’t ready to leave just yet. Words cannot explain what I took out of … Continue reading A Once in a Lifetime Experience in #Jamaica
A bright sky and big smiles—these are the images that flash in my mind when I think of Jamaica. The beauty of the country is only surpassed by that of its people. I had many expectations for my experience providing dental hygiene care in Jamaica. I expected to feel humbled and I knew I would … Continue reading #Jamaica: A Reflection

I don’t even really know what to say after this trip! It has been a week since I got back home and I don’t think that I have been able to process it all yet. The experience to work with the students of Jamaica was an amazing experience that I will never forget. The smiles … Continue reading Words cannot even come to explain! #Jamaica

Olomouc is a city I am most definitely going to miss. In my personal opinion, it’s even better than Prague. Olomouc is smaller and has everything close by. In Prague, there are spacious areas where there is only sidewalk and road with the gems hidden in scattered areas (but boy are those gems worth it). … Continue reading Return to Prague and Returning Home
It’s a small world after all! One of the best things in life is to have an opportunity travel. It is amazing to learn culture, background, and heritage that is different and unique.

When it came to representing China in the 2015 NMUN Conference in the Czech Republic, I will say that I did fairly well. Unlike my previous blunders in simulations where I struggled to make an effective speech, I managed to stand my ground and speak with certainty at Palaky University. For the first time, I … Continue reading Three Days of UNESCO Conference
