As part of our ongoing student spotlight series, all of us at Greenheart Travel are thrilled to introduce our featured high school abroad student, Rachel Anderson! Read a little bit about Rachel and her reasons for studying in Germany!
I am Rachel Anderson, and I am travelling to study abroad in Bremen, Germany. I am from Bellingham, Washington and I am 17 years old.
Laughter and adventure are what I live for. Anything which includes those two things intrigues me. Through many years of living in Bellingham, I have grown to love the outdoors, whether its backpacking, running, swimming, hiking, skiing, walking, etc.
One of the biggest things I will miss about Bellingham is the people. I have created friends I know I will carry throughout a lifetime, and I have an amazing family.
I chose to go to Germany because I believe that a huge part of education is learning about where you fit into the world. Germany offers a beautiful scenery, a wonderful second family, and exciting new possibilities.
Through travel, I hope to gain independence, strength, new connections and a new appreciation for life. I could not be more grateful for such a wonderful opportunity, and I am excited to watch it unfold.
