Greetings!
Namaste lovely! I’m Sulakshmi Vaid – a broke college student who is about to embark on an adventure to Rome, Italy! This blog will be me sharing my adventures and reflections while studying abroad for the semester. I hope that you will join me for the adventure! 🙂
A little bit about me…
So, who exactly am I? To start, I am a junior college student at Cedar Crest College in Allentown, P.A.. I am double majoring in Political Science and History with minors in Pre-Law and Honors.
On a more personal level, I am a queer, South-Asian, cis-woman born and raised in Woodbridge, N.J. I am the first in my family to attend college in the U.S., and will now be the first in my family to study abroad!
Let’s go on an adventure!
Choosing to go abroad was not an easy decision for me because of my financial circumstances, and it seemed like an impossible dream. But, I am truly lucky in how things worked out in my favor. Now, my dream is going to be a reality, and I am going to live my life to the fullest like there’s no tomorrow!
My hope is to see and experience as much as I can with the time I have. I am already an adventurous, loud, free-spirit; so, I am bound to have some interesting experiences ;). I also hope to use this time to heal and grow as a person. In the past year, I’ve realized how healing traveling is for me, as I’m able to focus more on myself. So, this is a chance for lots of fun and healing memories, and I hope you’ll join me on my journey!
