Why are you in Prague?
Prague was the best site for my major and offered a really good program. I also liked that it was in a central location and easy to travel to other places. I had heard it was really beautiful, too.
Since you arrived in Prague, what has totally freaked you out?
Getting lost by myself because I won’t know how to ask directions.
Briefly describe your publishing experience?
I worked for my high school newspaper and then I recently had a clip published in the Village Voice about a snuggy pub.
What are a few of your favorite websites and podcasts?
I love the New York Times online, the Onion, and AOL News.
What’s your dream job?
I want to go to grad school eventually to become an archaeologist, but before that I would love to do Americorps in South America.
What languages do you speak?
I know Spanish very well because it is my minor. I also speak a little Kannada, which is spoken in India. I am also taking Czech right now.
