Four Days, Three SoCal Cities
Hii! I’ve been back home at Wellesley for almost four days now after a quick but packed four-day trip to California.

Hello blog! This week I will be telling you about my study abroad experience in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷I didn’t study abroad for a semester like most people do at Wellesley.
