My name is Kylie Yuen and I am from Markham, Ontario (a little outside of Toronto). I am currently attending UWC Dilijan with my three co-years (Armen, Thomas, Stephanie) and will graduate this May! Over the next few days, we can't wait to share some of the reasons why we love Armenia so much. Also, fun fact! When we are unfortunately evacuated in March last year... we quarantined together at a cottage and it was definitely an interesting time... so maybe you'll hear about that a bit ; )1 week ago
