¡Hola! My name is Elizabeth Hansen. I am 21 years old and from Ogden, Utah. Growing up in Utah, I loved exploring the mountains, volunteering in my community, and learning about different cultures through travel and reading. In college, I stayed in Utah to study Political Science and Anthropology at the University of Utah, with a strong interest in understanding the ways people live and interact around the world. This year, I am living in Oviedo, Spain, where I am immersing myself in the Spanish language and culture. I am excited to improve my language skills, explore the history and traditions of northern Spain, and meet new people along the way. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you throughout the school year and learning about your journeys as well!
