International Relations, Johns Hopkins University, Washington, District of Columbia

I have formed strong connections with fellow Fulbrighters both in Washington, DC, and other locations. Initially, I persuaded a fellow Fulbrighter from my university to become my roommate through the Fulbrighter Network platform. This has become a highlight of my life here, providing me with a trusted companion to share numerous experiences. Our shared concerns and advice have significantly eased the process of acclimating to life in the U.S. Additionally, I maintain close relationships with other Fulbrighters at my university and in the area through various WhatsApp groups. Regular communication is also maintained with Greek Fulbrighters through our dedicated WhatsApp group chat, and we even coordinated a lunch meeting in Washington, DC, following the signing of our DS-2019s for international travel.
