My name is McKenna Turner, and I’m a senior majoring in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences. I visited Italy during my freshman year but that was my first time traveling beyond North America. I’m excited to experience a place and culture very different from my own which is a main reason I chose this study abroad experience! Also, I’m looking forward to trying different food and meeting people from Thailand. I’m very passionate about the environment, so I’m interested in observing their sustainability practices. In my free time, I like to read, so I’m hoping to get through at least a few books on the plane rides. I can’t wait to leave tomorrow!
