Study Abroad
During the spring semester of my junior year, I studied abroad in Milan, Italy. Academically, I took a break from computer science and studied Italian, art history, and photography. On the weekends, I traveled to a lot of new places with friends and family. Take a look at some of my adventures below!

On one of my first days in Milan, I got macaroons with my roommates at Enrico Rizzi, a coffeeshop on my street. It's my favorite place to do work.

This is the setup of a group of 3 people (and a dog) that travels around the world on their motorcycles. They've been to 133 countries and counting, and it's entirely financed by selling jewelry that they make at stands like this.

Bergen, a smaller town in Western Norway (population ~300k). I went here between Oslo and Tromsø to see the fjords.
