Advising Team
Anna Wojciechowski
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. Growing up, my first taste of the world was through cruises with my family! My brother has played travel hockey for 13+ years so I also had plenty of long car rides across the country in my childhood. I knew I wanted to go to France in the fourth grade, started studying French in High School, and went to Paris for a semester with CEA CAPA in Fall 2019!
I stayed close to home, attending Northern Illinois University (NIU), where I obtained my Bachelor’s in World Languages & Cultures with an Emphasis in French and Francophone Studies. During my time at NIU, I also spent a month in Aix-en-Provence living with a host family.
When I am not traveling or working, I enjoy listening to podcasts and trying new restaurants!
Duncan Keeley
I have a passion for travel, higher education, and immersion in culture. I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. I graduated from Hampden-Sydney College with a Bachelor of Arts in History & Religion. I obtained my Masters of Letters in Medieval History from the University of Saint Andrews in Scotland.
My time in higher education led me across the globe, studying abroad in New Zealand and taking me to Scotland to pursue my passion for History. Also, during my time at Hampden-Sydney, I supported the Global Education and Study Abroad Department as an assistant and ambassador for the department. I want to use my experiences abroad, and in life, to help people travel the world and experience everything it has to offer. I want to use my passion for traveling to help people find the best place that will help them expand their horizons and make memories that will last a lifetime. I also have a passion for helping people achieve their goals and what works best for them.
Outside of work, I enjoy various activities and sports including Soccer, Motor Racing, and more. I am a passionate scuba diver and free diver. I also have a love for travel which has taken me across the world to New Zealand, Brazil, Italy, and many other fabulous countries.
