Hello fellow travelers! My name is Gabrielle and I am a college student studying Advertising and IT. And when I am not studying or working, I try the best I can to leave upstate New York / the east coast and travel!

I spent 4 months living in Hong Kong as an exchange student. Hong Kong is a constant contradiction, a city of 8 million had holds allegiance to both China and the U.K. A major finance hub with stunning beaches and terrific hiking. It was the best place to be an exchange student, as I got to be in the city and the country, to be in China and the western-world. I also had the opportunity to travel in other parts of Asia as well!

I have also traveled to Kenya, Greece and extensively in the U.S. and Canada.

Otherwise, my academic life keeps me busy. I have two separate fields of study. I also work a couple of campus jobs, work out regularly and hang out with my roommates.
