Traveler Bio

Greetings from South Africa! My name is Niadiquay Everette. I am a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Tar Heels!) where I am studying sociology and women's and gender studies. I am a first-generation college student hailing from Durham, North Carolina, where I was raised in a single-parent household. Having the opportunity to study abroad in South Africa is huge--not only for me, but for my family as well. I am the first in my family to travel outside of the country! In my free time, I enjoy spoken-word poetry and getting to meet new people. I hope that by following my experiences here in South Africa, your lights will be ignited to travel the world. As I always say, "With great struggle comes great reward!" This is my story, and I cannot wait to share it with you all! I am super excited to learn and grow with each and every one of you. Let's go!
