Hayley is a 25-year-old from Kalamazoo, Michigan, who has two master's degrees. She recently left Paris and is getting ready to travel to India and beyond. She broke down her biggest spending categories for life abroad and her student debt. This as-told-to essay is based on an interview that has been edited for length and clarity.
I got my undergrad degree at Anderson College in South Carolina. I graduated a semester early, in December 2019, and was going to do a big, two-month trip to Asia, but then COVID happened.
