Meet Alexia M.

"Studying abroad in New Zealand was hands-down one of the best decisions of my life! I learned so much about the world and myself while I was abroad. My favorite memories studying abroad were exploring the South Island with my new friends. I went sea kayaking with fur seals in Abel Tasman National Park and hiked up snow-covered Mt. Olliver to watch the sun rise over the clouds!"
