The Experience

Destinations

Brian Hill is passionate about music, a wide range of social issues, and the discussion of difficult social topics. He is involved in community service and spreading awareness for social and cultural problems. His goals for the year are to improve upon his weaknesses, sharpen his strengths, attain fluency in the Spanish language, and to make the most out of this opportunity to experience a whole new world and lifestyle. His favorite quote comes from an idol of his, the legendary hip-hop artist Andre 3000, in the song "Ms. Jackson": "Forever never seems that long until you're grown, and notice that the day-by-day ruler can't be too wrong."
