Traveler Bio

Hello! My name is McKenna Sweet, I am 21 years old, and I am from South Burlington, Vermont. In Vermont, I love to be outdoors and hike the Green Mountains with my dog, Barkley. When it came time for college, I moved to Connecticut, where I am currently a junior at Connecticut College studying Government and Educational Studies.

This semester, I am very fortunate to be studying in London at City St. George, University of London! This is the farthest I have ever been from home,  and although it can be scary at times, I am so excited to learn new things and see new places. I love exploring and meeting new people and can't wait to bring you on this journey with me! I can't wait to hear all about your journeys and experiences throughout our time together!
