My Travel Story

by: Hailey Kasten Start Date: Dec 2, 2017 - End Date: Apr 1, 2018
  • Cultural Exchange
  • Educational/Research Trip
  • Study/Degree Abroad
Through meeting exchange students from all over the world, I have discovered a deep passion for language, culture, and teaching English. It is my dream to teach English abroad and be able to speak the language of the country, and one day become a translator. 

In the first two years of high school I took all of the French classes that I could through my school and I have determined that the next step to further my studies is to study abroad in France for one semester. To experience the everyday life and culture as a student is the best possible way to get me started on my career path.

Another reason I believe France would be the perfect fit for me is that I am very passionate about art and what better place for an artist than a country most renowned for its rich history of iconic artists? To see the places that inspired artists considered some of the greatest of all time would be absolutely incredible. 

The only thing holding me back is having enough money to fund this trip so I would love any amount of help I can get tearing down this barrier between me and my dream! I have been saving up from my job and selling my art but it's not enough which is why I need your help. Invest in my trip, and invest in my future.

I have included a link to a video made by a previous exchange student exploring France, pictures of me with exchange student friends who have inspired me, and the link to the page of the exchange program I have chosen. I greatly appreciate any and all support and I thank you all!
