My name is Ashley and I’m currently a junior at Loyola Marymount University. I’m originally from Maui, Hawaii and I am working on a Business Marketing major with a minor in Studio Arts. I spent last semester studying abroad in London, England. It was an amazing experience in which I learned new things about myself, new cultures, people, and customs. Living in London for a semester enabled me to travel easily throughout Europe. During my stay I visited Paris, Düsseldorf, Rome, Venice, Florence, Prague, and Dublin. This was a great opportunity to live in another country for four months and be able to visit so many more. We also took trips to other places in England such as Bath, Stonehenge, and Brighton. The classes I took abroad were also neat, especially because it was fun and interesting being taught by British professors. Living in another country opened my eyes to the diversity in the world and allowed me to experience things that I would never be able to grasp in the U.S. since I have been here all my life and because I am so accustomed to the culture. We were also able to have an internship as part of our study abroad program. It was a great learning experience since we were exposed to the working environment of British people. I feel it has greatly assisted in my career planning for the future.
