Ahoj! Born in the Philippines but grew up and studied in Canada, I now call the Czech Republic my home for nearly 10 years. Just like what you are about to embark on, I have studied abroad during my undergrad year in Spain which sparked my love for the European lifestyle, culture and people. I have been working with AIFS Prague for almost as long as my stay here in the Czech Republic. I look forward to helping you make the most of your time in this magical place!

Social identity & access
One of the best things you can do before departure is enter into the journey knowing that your time abroad will be unique to this experience. The resources, community, and support available to you when abroad will likely be different as well. In order to help you prepare for your experience, we have compiled many resources about social identity and access in specific locations abroad. Your program staff will also provide you with more details pre-departure and during orientation.
