Hola (hello)! My name is Olivia, I am 21 years old and I am from West Newbury Massachusetts. I loved growing up in New England, this led me to study at the University of Maine which is not too far from home. I am currently studying psychology which is learning about the mind and how it works, with a minor in criminal justice to learn more about our legal systems! I have always been interested in how the human brain works and helping people's mental health improve. During school in Maine as well as in the summers I worked with special needs children in a school setting which I enjoyed very much!
Since I was a kid I knew I wanted to travel and explore the world, and studying abroad was the perfect opportunity. I am now living in Barcelona, Spain and am learning all about the culture as well as traveling all around Europe and experiencing many different cultures! I love to hike and be outdoors as well as the hustle and bustle of a big city with its many beautiful historical sites and architecture.
I am so excited for you guys to be joining me on this incredible adventure, I hope my journey inspires you to explore the world!
