Hello!

My name is Courtney Barrett, I wanted to take the time to introduce myself to the WOU study abroad blog. In just 2 weeks I will be leaving for China to study Traditional Chinese Medicine! I chose to travel to China because their culture is completely different from ours; China is a country with so much history, culture, and tons of people. Ever since I was little my dad often traveled to China on business, I was always so fascinated with the currency they use and the special desserts he would bring back. It has been a dream of mine to study abroad and now I get to travel to the country I most desire. I am thrilled for the opportunity and I cannot wait to share my experiences!

Thanks! I will be posting again in one week right before I depart!
