My Study Abroad Trip

Hi, my name is Hunter Groff. I am a senior studying Finance at the University of Oregon.

This past summer, I spent my time studying abroad in Vienna, Austria.  I designed this website to tell a little about my journey. Here it is:

my starting point: Albuquerque, NM

The starting point of my journey was my hometown of  Albuquerque, New Mexico. One of my favorite things to do in Albuquerque is attend the International Balloon Fiesta. Once a year, thousands of balloons take off from a park in the center of the city. It is beautiful.

In June, I boarded a one-way flight from ABQ to Vienna, Austria.

No matter how beautiful the place, friends are what make an experience truly unforgettable. Here's a couple pictures of the amazing people I met along the way:
