Traveler Bio

Hi friends! My name is Madison Tripp and I am excited to bring you along on my adventures this semester! I am from Herriman, Utah, but I currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah while I attend the University of Utah to become a nurse. Any Utes fans out there? I LOVE sports, so you can usually find me either watching or playing something. My favorites are basketball and football. I have two adorable doggies named Bella and Remy who also tend to take up my free time.

I will always travel when I get the chance, which is why I really wanted to study abroad in a different country this semester. Unfortunately, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, my trip got canceled. Instead, I'll spend this semester participating in an international internship with a company in Argentina. As I meet new people and explore Argentina remotely, we'll learn online together!
