Guten Tag und hallöchen! ✨ Happy Takeover Tuesday! 😎🇩🇪
My name is Kai! I'm a junior at the University of Michigan 〽️, and last year I studied for a full year in Freiburg im Breisgau (shout-out to the program, @academicyearinfreiburg )! This year I am a youth ambassador for DAAD and a German Peer Mentor at my university. My majors are German and Linguistics, with a minor in Translation!
The biggest perks of a full year program was definitely the time I got to explore and put myself out there! During my time abroad, I was able to enjoy lots of traveling, finding close friendships and connections, and really immerse myself in German culture! I enjoyed many SCFreiburg games (slide 2), the black forest (3), Europa Park (4), the beauty of my new home (5-6) and travel both near and far! 😁 (Some of my favorite destinations were Hamburg, Germany and Visby, Sweden!)
The academic side of things were challenging, but I grew so much by adjusting to a new academic system, writing research papers, and expanding my knowledge of German greatly.
Follow along in our stories today to hear more about my time abroad. I'll be answering any questions today too, so take a look! 👀
