About Me
- Hannah
- I spent a semester in Pilar, Paraguay with AFS in 2009, and I returned in 2011 and 2013 for research and travel. I also spent summer 2010 in Turkey with a NSLI-Y scholarship, hosted an AFS student from Japan in 2009-2010, and studied abroad in Mexico during college. I'm happy to help answer any questions students, parents, or teachers have about exchange, Paraguay, AFS, or anything related!
