My name is Ethan Keller and I will be studying abroad in Athens, Greece for the next few months. The American College of Greece is situated in the quiet suburb of Agia Paraskevi.
I am from a town called Marblehead, Massachusetts, which is north of Boston on the coast. I attend Clark University, which is in Worcester, Massachusetts, majoring in geography and minoring in political science. Being a geographer, I am and have always been interested in other people and cultures. I am very grateful for having the opportunity to live in Greece for 3 and a half months. While I am excited to travel around Greece and Europe, I am also excited to show the mundane aspects of life here in Greece that differ from life in the United States. I hope you gain not only not only knowledge about Athens and Greece, but an interest in learning more about different parts of the world!
