Hej! Hey! My name is Aaryn, or as my friends call me, AJ. I'm studying literature from around the world, and even though books do a lot of traveling on their own, I decided to travel from my home in Scaramento, California to Sweden to study abroad. Exploring the stories of people around the world is one of my favorite things. When I'm not reading, I also love baking bread and taking my dog on motorcycle rides around the city.
While in Sweden I lived in a tiny apartment in the middle of a city called Gothenburg. I walked and took trams and buses everywhere. I learned a lot of Swedish so that I could read some of the Swedish literature in its original language. Going to Sweden has opened my mind to so much in the world, and I am very excited to be sharing my experiences with you!
