Summer in Cape Town

Benjamin Miller traveled 10,105 miles to study in Cape Town, South Africa. He majors in anthropology and psychology and minors in linguistics at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Some things Benjamin enjoys are ice hockey, rugby (Go Boks!), coffee, meeting new people, and seeing new things. His favorite thing to do in Cape Town is to wake up early before class to go to the local coffee shop and listen to all of the different languages around him.
