My Travel Story

For the first time heading out of the States in 10 years, I've discovered an amazing study abroad organization, CIEE! As a Chinese-Vietnamese born in a low-income household in America, going to Beijing, China for a cultural immersion program will help me reach out and find the piece missing of my identity as an East-Asian.
This cultural immersion program will not only let my fellow groupmates (14 of us so far) and me experience the way of life of urban/suburban Chinese citizens, but will also teach us about sustainable building and living in the rural locations of China.
CIEE has already granted me a wonderful scholarship covering tuition costs. Now, the only thing holding me back from this life-changing experience is the flight and visa costs!
