Email: annielaster@gatech.edu
I love traveling, and I knew in college I wanted to live somewhere else and be fully immersed in another culture. So when I got to Tech, I decided that an internship abroad was a good way to get work experience while being able to live in another country. So, I studied abroad with a GRIP international internship in Mexico City, Mexico. I used that time to eat as much food as possible and visit almost every museum in the city (I went to 62!).

Studying abroad at GTE gave me the opportunity to explore over a dozen new countries and over 20 new cities. I made so many new friends - fellow GTE students, locals, and other travelers from all over the world who I am still in contact with today! All of the adventures and experiences (good and bad) that I had have shaped me into the student and person I am today. I find that I'm more creative and more motivated to perform well in my classes, and I'm much more confident!

I've always loved to travel, and I knew that I wanted to study abroad during my time at Georgia Tech. I wanted to be able to fully immerse myself in a new culture while still continuing my academic studies. I had been fortunate enough to live in Scotland for s short period of time before college, and I couldn't wait until I could get back! During my 3rd year at GT, I spent a semester living in Glasgow and studying Biomedical Sciences at Strathclyde University while making the most of living abroad by creating new friendships, seeing different parts of the country, and experiencing new adventures!

I studied in Berlin for a summer under the College of Computing. I had the opportunity to meet and interact with completely different kinds of people, as I immersed myself in Berlin life.

I had a memorable summer studying abroad in South Korea as part of the Language, Business, and Technology: Korea program. It marked my first time venturing outside the United States, and it turned out to be an incredibly educational and enriching experience. While abroad, I not only had the chance to enhance my Korean-speaking skills but also embarked on exciting adventures with my friends. Exploring the culture and trying the delicious local cuisine made this summer truly unforgettable.

Exploring new places has always been a passion of mine, and I was determined to incorporate living abroad into my Georgia Tech experience. In my third year at GT, I had the chance to spend a semester in Madrid, where I enrolled at Universidad Carlos III Madrid. During this time, I relished the opportunity to create new friendships, explore various parts of Spain, and embark on exciting adventures. My experience was so incredible that I made the decision to extend my stay and spent the following spring in Valencia, studying at Universitat Politècnica de València. It was an amazing year, and I'm thrilled to help you all to have your own incredible experiences during your time abroad.
