Introduction

Hey! 
My name is Emma Basilone, and I am a junior Biology Major on the Lawrenceville campus of Rider University. I never thought I would be venturing out to Asia at 20 years old, but I am very excited! I have traveled to Italy with my family but I expect Hong Kong to be quite a different experience. I am also planning to travel to New Zealand during spring break, Costa Rica in May for community service, and Italy to visit family this summer. I have always been interested in fashion and diversity in different cultures and I can't wait so see what Hong Kong has to offer. There is so much to do and see it will be awesome. I am looking forward to being completely submerged in the Chinese culture and getting as much out of this trip as possible. I am really looking forward to seeing the Buddha, going to the Tea House, experiencing the light shows and orchestras. The markets at night will be interesting and I plan on getting lots of souvenirs to share my experiences with my family and friends. 

Enjoy the rest of the break! See you all soon!

  1. Hi Emma! Nice intro :)

    That's so great that you're going to Costa Rica for community service - that is going to be amazing. Where is New Zealand will you be going for Spring Break?

    See you next week!
