Gabriel

Introduction

Kia Ora!

My name’s Gabriel, and for the next semester, you’ll have the pleasure of following me and
all of my crazy adventures at the University of Virginia!

But first: who am I? I’m a third-year arts student majoring in psychology, political science
and communication. I love hip-hop music, Italian food and any sport with a ball. Outdoors is
where I’m home; if I had it my way, I would spend a quarter of my life at the beach.

But here’s the weird bit about me: I’m an American going to the United States on exchange.
As a kid, I dreamt of the American College experience- massive football games, greek life
and a goofy mascot that we don on our T-shirts and jackets. While I love UoA, and coming to
New Zealand has been the best decision I’ve ever made, I still want to get a small taste of
what I craved so badly when I was younger. I plan to do a fair amount of travel around the
United States, and will keep you all updated on my blog 🙂

Thanks for your time, and I can’t wait to represent the UoA community in Cavalier territory.
