This first week has been everything I have dreamed and more. I have been trying to study abroad for three whole years and COVID has made that difficult. However, I finally made it and I couldn’t be happier that it is in the British Virgin Islands! Things here are a little different, but nothing overwhelming yet! Everyone is so nice and we say hi to everyone! I love that. I love that the culture here is so communicative with those around you! I can’t wait to get to work in the hospital and view the other islands. I am so fortunate I was given this opportunity to take my education internationally! This picture is of me at the Virgin Gorda Baths. They are beautiful and have so much history behind them. I can’t wait for the rest of my program.
