Hi! My name is Ulima, and I am so excited to be a Reach the World traveler! I want to tell you a little bit about myself.
I grew up in Maryland, and now I am a junior at Boston University. That means I am in my third year of college! I love learning about health, science, and how doctors help people feel better. One day, I hope to become a doctor who helps women and children live healthy and happy lives. When I am not studying, I like listening to music, spending time with my family and friends, and trying new foods. I also love talking to people and learning about their stories.
I decided to travel abroad because I am very curious about the world. I want to learn how kids go to school in other countries, what people like to eat, and how families take care of one another. Traveling helps me understand that even though people may look different or speak different languages, we all have feelings and deserve kindness and care.
While I am traveling, I will share pictures, stories, and fun facts with you. I want you to feel like you are traveling right along with me! I hope my journey helps you feel excited about learning, asking questions, and exploring new places someday too.
I can’t wait to go on this adventure and share it with you!
