Hello everyone!
I have recently been accepted into MSU's study abroad program in Innsbruck, Austria for the Spring semester of 2015 (March-July). I will be taking classes at the historic University of Innsbruck through an International Student program. My goals for the semester are:
- To improve my German language proficiency
- Make connections with Austrian students and Innsbruck locals
- Build my resume with international academic and professional experience (I am currently arranging an internship with the American Corner in Innsbruck, which is an extension of the embassy based in Vienna).
The reason I have set up this crowdfunding page is because 4 months in Europe is obviously not a cheap endeavor. I am required to cover the full cost of MSU tuition for 12 credits, the program fee, airfare, and spending money for myself to travel and eat. Any and all donations towards this trip by friends or family is greatly appreciated, and if you decide to donate, I plan on giving you something back in return! (Details of the perks are on the right side of the page)
During my stay, I plan to travel throughout as much of Austria and Germany as I can during my free time, and my program already includes trips to south Tirol as well as a few other local Austrian landmarks. I will also have the opportunity of crossing off one of the biggest tasks on my life-long bucket list when I snowboard in the Alps! The town of Innsbruck resides in a valley at the base of the Austrian Alps, so ski resorts are bountiful and only a short drive away.
Even if you decide not to donate, you will have access to the videoblog I will create while overseas. I plan to purchase a Go-Pro video camera to record the highlights of each week that I experience while in Austria and other parts of Europe. It might be as simple as me sharing a new German phrase I learned, a new friend I met, or even something as crazy as a first-person view of me shredding down a mountain on my snowboard!
