September 04, 2025by: AmandaProgram: Communication, Film Studies in Tokyo, JapanAmazing professor. Infectiously energetic and very funny which made the lectures super engaging. The balance between level of difficulty, amount of reading and assignments was perfect, maybe even leaning toward relaxed, but that's why I liked it as it gave a lot of time to enjoy Japan.

Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to travel. Both of my parents traveled as a part of their jobs. I had always heard stories and seen photos of their journeys and immediately knew that’s what I needed to do once I grew older. Once the opportunity arose, I made sure to take it for myself because I believe that the world is our classroom. Exploring and experiencing what is beyond reach is one of the most important things that we can do for ourselves and for each other.
