The Prelude to My Taiwan Adventure

I’m very excited to start the onboarding process for this fantastic journey and experience to Taiwan. Personally, I’m excited to immerse myself in a new culture, new religion, and everything new! I can’t wait for everything that’s about to unfold, and I’m thrilled at all the sights I’ll see and stories I’ll have to share with close family and friends.

My Pre-Trip Thoughts on April 23, 2025

What are my goals for this trip? I don’t know! I’m going into this with a completely open mind with not much of a set of expectations.

My first homework

Goals: My main goal is for this trip to be a chance for all of us to think deeply about the world, connect with new perspectives, and reflect on our academic and personal journeys. Taiwan’s rich blend of culture, religion, and business creates a unique learning environment. I encourage you to engage fully, ask questions, and stay curious about everything and everyone we encounter. This trip will also be a learning experience for me, as it is my first time leading a group of students on an international excursion.
