Hi, My name is Helen Bryan, and  I am currently enrolled as a visiting college student at DTCC. I am currently living in West Chester, PA, but I grew up in Newark. I attend West Chester University part-time as a History major, and I work a few days a week at Newlin Grist Mill and West Chester Public Library. I really have no idea when I will end up graduating, but I am hoping that it will be in the next three years.

This is the first time that I have lived anywhere other than Delaware, and I am wondering if there might be some parallels that can be drawn from visiting or residing in a foreign country. For instance, almost all of my co-workers at the Grist Mill are from Delaware, thus none of us are accustomed to having to calculate sales tax. Therefore, on any price listings, one will also find a column listing the calculated sales tax, next to the item price. However, I have found that working at the library,  my coworkers appear to automatically add the additional cost. I find it funny how something that initially appeared to be so trivial, can become so difficult to remember.

I am very excited to be joining all of you on this trip! I have never been outside of North America. I am very interested in farming, so having the chance to visit the Royal FloraHolland Aalsmeer.

Hi. My name is Sharon and I am an Allied Health major. I am really looking forward to this study abroad class. I am looking forward to learning about and seeing Amsterdam and so forth. I travelled with my husband and two college age kids to Italy last summer and enjoyed seeing Rome and other areas. I did not have the opportunity to study abroad when I was in college previously and look forward to this opportunity. I appreciate all the time and effort the professors have put into this class endeavor. I look forward to meeting everyone. Have a good weekend.

I don't have much spare time but when I do have a free minute I like to spend it with my family. The only traveling I have done is on 2 cruises to the Bahamas and Jamaica.

Hello Everyone! My name is Wendy and I am absolutely over the top excited about this study abroad opportunity!!! I work at Delaware Tech Owens campus in the Human Resources office. I have been working at DTCC for 13 years. I am working on my OAT degree and have been for more years than I care to share! I am hoping to one day earn a BS in Human Resources Management. The most important thing in my life is my family (pictured below). I have been married to Jeff for 23 years and have two amazing daughters, Samantha and Katlyn, and the most phenomenal grandaughter, Addison. My oldest daughter, Samantha, is also in the study abroad program. We are both really excited and grateful for the opportunity to travel to Belgium and the Netherlands together. I have never really "traveled" before, I have taken cruises and been to Mexico, Dominica, St. Marteen and several other places but never spent a night in any of those places. I consider that vacation rather than travel. This will be the first time I have ever truly immersed myself into another culture. I am most excited to visit the Anne Frank house. I can't wait to meet everyone and go on this amazing adventure!!

Hey guys! My name is Tanner and I am a nursing student trying to pick my GPA back up to the standard level it needs to be! I love traveling and when I saw the chance to travel to Belgium and Netherlands I could not miss the chance! The farthest I have traveled has been Sydney and Melbourne Australia. This is a picture is from Normandy France in one of the bunkers from Dday and Susan, Randy and myself spent the day touring this place! I plan on being at Del Tech 1 more year to complete all the classes needed to get a 3.8 GPA for Nursing School and then plan on attending Old Dominion University to start a program where I will acquire up to my Doctoral Degree in Nursing at the end of the tour. In my free time I will spend a great deal of time surfing and going to the beach even in the winter because I can't get enough of the swells year around.

Hi everyone! My name is Zubir Iquebal. I'm a Hospitality Management major, and I aim to graduate by the end of this year or sometime early next year. I am still figuring out which path in the hospitality world will best suit me. I work in retail as a sales associate, but I've had a bit of restaurant and hospitality experience. I'm single, and I don't have any children. I don't have much spare time, but I like to hang out with my friends. I've traveled to countries such as France, India, and Canada. I would like to learn and experience as much as possible while in Holland and Belgium.

Hey guys, my name is Courtney. I cannot wait for this trip. This will be my second study abroad trip with Delaware Tech. I had the privilege to study with Dr. Madden and Mrs. Burton to Paris two years ago. I currently am a junior at Goldey Beacom College, studying Business Administration with a concentration of Human Resources Management. I work part time with Acme Markets, I do just about everything I can at work. I haven't really figured out what I want to do past graduation, but I have another year for that. While in Amsterdam I am looking forward to visiting the Anne Frank house, and on our free day going to the Van Gogh museum. This picture is from when we visited the Louvre in Paris, (I don't look the same, different hair style now). In my free time I like to bowl, read, and color (child at heart). I am so excited to meet all of you and to see my fellow travelers from the Paris trip (Randy, Susan, and Tanner)!
