Last Saturday was a blur of lights and music. As I exited the amusement park where the KB Rapbeat Festival was held, I carefully eased the entry wristband off my hand and tucked it into my pocket. “I’ve never been to…

When I tell people that I’m on an exchange, I often get the question: “Have you done any traveling?” I always find this question surprising! To me, studying abroad is traveling in and of itself. Nonetheless, I understand why it’s…
