Student Voices – IES Abroad's SooMin Hwangbo on Study Abroad and Social Media

We connected with our first-ever Social Media Correspondent of the Year, SooMin Hwangbo (IES Abroad Granada | Spring 2023 | Bryn Mawr College) to discuss her study abroad experience, learn about her time as a Correspondent, and how she became such a wiz at social media. During the interview, SooMin reflects on documenting her journey through the lens of social media, the beauty of Granada, Spain, her identity and experience as an international student in the U.S., and encouraging future students to study abroad.
