Hello! My name is Isabella! My friends call me Izzy. I am 20 years old andI was born in Germany on a military base, but grew up mainly in Pennsylvaniya! I am currently a student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Here I study German and Astronomy, which is the study of stars and space!
Growing up, I loved golfing all spring, summer, and fall. I played on my high school golf team all four years! I even went to a golf school for a week in the summer in South Carolina. In the winter, I love to ski. I only learned this hobby four years ago! I recently got a Corgi puppy as a pet. His name is Diesel and is featured in the picture. He stays with me in college and now in Germany, where I am.
Coming to Germany was a decision I knew I would always make after my trip back to Germany in high school. I loved the culture, the food, the sights, and so much more! I wanted to learn the language more and live there on my own. So that's currently what I am up to. I'm eager to share my experience with everyone!
