Silvia Cheng Berlin - Metropolitan Studies, Spring 2009

Silvia hails from Hong Kong and will attend her final year at Washington and Lee University after she finishes IES Metropolitan Studies in Berlin. She is majoring in Sociology and wants to become a city planner sooner or later. She used to carry her backpack to travel by herself in Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and Mexico during the past two years. In addition to traveling, she has passions for journalism, photography, and languages. She is thrilled about the richness and creativity of the program in which she can study urban developments in Berlin, Paris, and St. Petersburg, not to mention the field trips to all these places!
