I am so ready to start my journey to China tomorroww! I find myself anxious, but excited at the same time. Tomorrow cannot come sooner; we leave from Portland at 11:30 am to Seattle and from Seattle we will venture to Beijing, China (about a 12 hour flight). I will be writing in again next week to reflect on this first week’s experiences and hopefully share some photos from the Great Wall!

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!
