Hello!! I am Mikayla, I am 20 years old and I go to university in New York City, but I am from Colorado! I am studying theatre, which means I help tell stories on stage, like on Broadway! BUT excitingly, I will be your new best friend and guide for studying abroad in Sitges, Spain! I have two younger brothers, a german shepard and 2 cats, so I am fluent in “woof” and “meow”! I grew up in Colorado, where there are lots of mountains, but now I love living in the city. In NYC I spend most of my time reading, shopping, and or sitting by the water. I am a water girlie and I am so excited to be in Sitges, a little beach town. I am most excited to explore the beach and find the best local food places and try paella. A fun fact about me is my favorite movie EVER is Disney’s Peter Pan and I have so many books and toys, and even Hot Wheels that have something to do with Peter Pan! I am also a huge Swiftie and will be listening to her music along the way! Be ready to see so many pictures of sunsets, the beach, buildings, food, outfits, theatre, and funny things I do in class or with my friends.
