Exploring Germany and Beyond: Cheyenne Frey鈥檚 Global Grants Journey

Her first month was filled with exploring the Altstadt (old town), visiting the cathedral, and diving into language studies through an Intensive Language Course.

Spring Highlights and Family Visits

Spring brought warmer weather and new experiences. Cheyenne enjoyed relaxing afternoons by the Danube River and participating in local traditions like , Regensburg鈥檚 annual May folk festival. 鈥It reminded me of the state fairs we have in the U.S., with rides, vendors, and food tents,鈥 she recalled.
