Guten Tag (Good Day)! My name is Courtney Klaers, and I am a 21-year-old student from Lebanon, Tennessee. I grew up doing creative activities or getting out in nature with my two sisters. In recent years, I have been living in Indiana and attending Eastern Illinois University as a final-semester senior. I am majoring in Political Science and minoring in Environmental Impact and Sustainability.
Both of these studies are very important and have a vibrant field in Germany! I will be studying in Lüneburg at Leuphana University. This is my first time out of the country, and I am very excited! It is also cool because some of my ancestors are from Germany. I can not wait to share this adventure with you!
