Traveler Bio

Oi! Hi! My name is Andromeda, but you can call me Andi. I am 21 years old and currently study abroad in Lisbon, Portugal. I am originally from Upstate New York, but I go to school at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 2019, I spent my gap year in Florianopolis, Brazil, where I learned Portuguese. Since then, I continued my studies in the Portuguese language at Tulane. This semester, I decided to go all the way to Europe to study in Lisbon. In Lisbon, I am staying with a wonderful host family where I will enjoy local cuisine every day. I know this semester will be so much fun and can not wait to go on this adventure together!
