It's my 25th birthday and since I'm working instead of celebrating , I thought maybe I'd throw my own little gratitude party (is that the opposite of a pity party?) here. In this episode, I share 25 things I'm grateful for about my Fulbright and living in Romania. They are broken down into five categories:

1. Food and drink
2. Romanian/Transylvanian/Cluj culture
3. Daily life
4. My research, aka the reason I'm here
5. Personal growth ("study abroad changed my life, you simply must go to bar*lisp*celona")

Thank you so much for listening. And thank you to all the mentors and friends who have been so supportive before, during, and (hopefully) after Fulbright.

Photo cred: Eric, who has made this experience infinitely more exciting and magical by using all of his time off to travel with me and most of his free time to send me memes.
