Christa & ExchangeNation: I’m a girl from the North Shore who craves helping others improve themselves and who loves traveling to new places. The most interesting part about traveling around the US is understanding what a general person’s day looks like: what are their daily routines, their family traditions, their values and goals? This keeps me grounded in my own surroundings, and it’s helped me communicate with people who may not share similar values and beliefs as me. I believe this is something all Americans can benefit from, and something that can bridge the current divisions amongst us.
