Olá! Hello! My name is Corinne and I am so excited to take you on this journey to Portugal! Originally from Arizona, I grew up in the desert of Phoenix before moving to Utah to go to school. I love being outside, and though I am no pro, I enjoy mountain biking, hiking and skiing (though I won't lie, I also like staying inside to read a good book or watch a movie).
I loved going on roadtrips as a kid, and as I grew up I loved meeting new people and trying new things through my travels. After living in Brazil for 18 months I fell in love with the Lusophone (Portuguese speaking) world. I also want to help make this world a more equal place for everyone. Have you noticed that most of the world's leaders are men? I noticed. And I want to know what we can do to change that. I was blessed with a U.S. Fulbright Research Grant to study this in Portugal, and I cannot wait to tell you all about it!
