Traveler Bio

Hi there! I am so happy to welcome you to my journey. My name is Alyssa Brendemuehl, and I am currently studying at the Polytechnic University in Valencia, Spain this spring semester. I am enrolled in a U.S. exchange program with other students from all over the U.S. We have all been placed in the same exclusive courses to foster our growth in the Spanish language. Another feature of my program is that I get the privilege of having an amazing host family. I hope that my global experiences generate your interest in cultural and daily life practices outside of our own!
