Crossing Boarders: Tales of a Louisian Exchange Student at Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia

About Me.

Hi there. I am Harold B. Balinhawang. I am a student of Saint Louis University, Baguio City, Philippines. As a Fourth Year Social Studies Major student and exchange student in Indonesia, I see the world through a different lens. Through my experiences living and studying abroad, I gained a greater appreciation for the diversity of cultures, traditions, and values that exist across the globe. My time in Indonesia allowed me the opportunity to learn about the local people, customs, education, and way of life firsthand, providing me with a unique perspective that I now incorporate into my career and daily life.
