Hi there! My name is Amanda Benzine, and I am a 3rd year psychology student at San Diego State University. I am originally from Kauai, Hawaii, and have been living in San Diego for the past 3 years. I love the sunshine and the beaches, but will have to give that up in a few months as I have just been accpeted to study for the fall semester at the Vrije University of Amsterdam. To prepare for my adventures abroad, I am enrolled in a course at SDSU called "Designing your International Experience."  I am really excited for my upcoming travels and am ready to gain a fresh perspective on life in a new culture.
