My name is Kristen Weller, and this happens to be my first ever blog (unless you count the half-hearted Xanga page I had in high school...which you shouldn't). I am a first year MFA candidate in Costume Technology at the University of Texas at Austin.
I understand there may be many reasons you are saying "...what?"right now, so allow me to explain a few things:
1) MFA: Master of Fine Arts, or (as I like to think of it: Mutha F*%#in' Artist!)
2) Costume Technology: Making costumes (Tailoring, Draping, Millinery, Fabric Painting and Dying, Armor-Making, etc) for the stage and screen
3) University of Texas at Austin--believe it or not (believe it) there is great theatre outside of New York, some of it's in Texas! ;)
While my life has taken me many places in my fast 24 years, I decided, like many before me, to create a blog about my latest travel experience: travel abroad! Like my blog, this is my first experience traveling outside of the United States, and I will be going to one of the last places I ever imagined living:
TAIWAN!
The gate of the Chaing Kai Shek Memorial
In less than one week, I am traveling from this:
My parents' cabin in beautiful Northern Minnesota in the heart of winter during a pristine snowfall, my favorite place in the world
To this:
Taipei National University for the Arts, located in Taipei, Taiwan
(This is a picture I stole from Google Images of Taipei)
I suspect it will be quite different. :)
