¡Hola! My name is Lenda, and I’m a 21-year-old from Lincoln, Nebraska. I’m currently studying International Business and Spanish. I also speak a Kurdish dialect called Kurmanji at home. Growing up in a multicultural household sparked my passion for exploring different cultures and languages! I’m grateful to have received the Gilman Scholarship, which has allowed me to study abroad in Spain as part of the Reach The World community. I’m currently studying and interning at the University of Deusto in Bilbao, where I’m immersing myself in a new environment and improving my Spanish. I’m excited to share my journey with all of you, from my travels and cultural discoveries to the valuable insights I’m gaining. I’d also love to hear about your experiences, so don’t hesitate to share what you’ve been up to!
