Traveler Bio

¡Hola! My name is Stephanie Luong! I'm 21 years old and I grew up in Philadelphia, PA. At home, I enjoy spending time with my friends, trying new food spots, and watching our sports teams. I attend Lehigh University and am studying accounting with a Spanish minor. I first started learning Spanish in high school and thought that college would be a great opportunity to continue my love for learning languages. I'm also pursuing the International Business Certificate at my school because I enjoy learning about different cultures and would love to work in a space with a diverse group of people. 

This semester, I'm studying abroad with the help of the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship. I'm looking forward to developing my Spanish skills through daily conversations and learning more about how Spain's systems differ from the U.S.! I'm so excited to share my travels with everyone and would love to learn more about your experiences during the school year!
