About Me

Hey! My name is Kai, and I'm a junior majoring in Finance. I studied abroad in Dublin, Ireland, during the Spring 2024 semester through the University College Dublin Exchange. As someone with an Irish background, living in my family's country of origin was an irreplaceable experience. I not only met many of the locals but also befriended people from all over the world. From traveling through countries like Germany and Portugal to visiting pubs and exploring the city of Dublin, it was truly unforgettable. One specific memory I cherish is my first night out, bantering with two identical twin Irish YouTubers I recognized.

I can't emphasize enough how much I encourage studying abroad. The freedom to travel and learn about different cultures is invaluable. You will grow from this experience and gain confidence in yourself. Don’t hesitate—go abroad!
