Fàilte is the Scottish Gaelic word for Welcome!
As my AUTHOR section reads, my name is Emily Teitsworth. I am a Junior at Susquehanna University (SU) and I am quite ready to start traveling the world. Actually, I have already started. I went with my dad to Africa a few years back on a trip to an Orphanage in Kenya, but it was only for two weeks, and I had my dad with me. This time, I'm going to be alone.

- Has always intrigued me (I am a lover of history and castles and studying in Scotland will give me the perfect dosage of each)
- Is absolutely beautiful and will be the perfect muse for my poetry and fiction and photography
- Will help me learn to live with my anxiety
- Is a low cost program
