About Me

Hello Everyone, My name is Kelvin Guilbault, and I will be a senior at North Central College next year during our trip to Germany. I am a double major in mathematics and computer science here at the college. I am really looking forward to the opportunity to experience a culture other than my own. I haven't done any international traveling aside from a few visits to Canada, so this will be a great new experience for me.

Aside from writing this blog, you may also see me drawing comics about my experiences abroad. I like to make these as a sort of pictorial journal of my life.
I decided to take the trip to Germany for a few reasons. First, I believe that the culture will be interesting to experience. When I'm not at school, I live in Milwaukee, which has a thriving German culture. It will be interesting for me to see what is similar and what is different between Germany and my home city. Besides that, I want to be able to experience living abroad to the fullest extent possible with my D-term experience. Between Germany being the longest of the trips offered, and Professor Wolf's drive to push us beyond our comfort level while we're there, I think that this trip, above all others will let me do just that.
