I'm Kiyanna (she/they) and I studied abroad at Temple Japan for an academic year.

Ask me about the experience, the feeling of traveling abroad alone, how to transition to Temple Japan, what are the major specific things that TUJ offers, how I managed financially while I was over there, how to overcome the fear of trying when you are in a new area, and making new friends.

My favorite memory was going to Hokkaido and snowboarding.

My advice is the more you stay shelled, the less the world greets you. Not trying new things will stop you from trying at all.
