Hi, my name is Lydia Eichelberg.  I am a junior who is double majoring in Psychology and Family Social Science.  After college I want to go to graduate school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.  Traveling to Thailand will be my first time outside the US and I could not be more thrilled, even though I will miss my cat!

While in Thailand my learning goal would be to gain an appreciation and understanding for Thai culture, families, and education.  Using that knowledge in my future academic and professional career will help me connect with diversity and how that looks within families.  I am excited to learn more in Thailand, especially considering most of our learning will be hands-on and provide me the opportunity to learn and grow within this culture and the many communities we will visit.

I am so excited for this experience!
