Traveler Bio

Салам достор (Hello friends)! My name is McKenna and I'm a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful country in Central Asia, between Russia and China. I'm excited to share my journey with you!

In addition to English, I speak Russian and am learning Kyrgyz. I went to Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota and majored in psychology with additional coursework in Russian, political science, and computer science. In my free time, I love riding horses, reading books, and hiking!
