What excites me most about PH: I’ve never had the opportunity to immerse myself in a country with a structure such as this. I think I’m most excited about seeing the faces of my classmates as we interact with some of its most prominent policymakers and relish the opportunity we have. A close second is the opportunity to see Profs. Deardorff and Chen do a Karaoke duet of Summer Lovin’.
Will you try balut in PH? ...once I figure out what it is, absolutely!
Shout-out: I couldn’t pick a more dedicated and awesome group of people with whom I get to share this experience. The places we’ll go long after the Philippines is something that I look very much forward to!
(P.S. Matt is our Treasurer Board member extraordinaire... meaning he leads us in budgeting/fundraising/and other $$ related matters!)
