Pre-Departure

Hello there!

My name is Estely Carranza and I will be participating in the Study Abroad trip to China, to study Traditional Chinese Medicine. I leave tomorrow morning and I am beyond excited, yet very nervous at the same time. I am very eager to try new foods, and learn and in live in a new culture. I’m not sure what sorts of foods will be available, but I hope it looks like the food in the picture. I hope that the people are friendly and approachable, as I try to learn the language. I also have heard that its very humid, so I hope that I can endure and adjust to the change in climate. Overall I am ecstatic to be in a new country and hope that you follow me on my journey as I experience learning about  Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and their culture as well.
