Looking Forward to GTE

Written by Katherine Sanders – Spring 2025 Blogger

As I embark on my journey across Europe, I’m excited to dive into three important aspects of my life and share them through a new lens. 

FOOD 

From Turkish Baklava to German Schnitzel, I plan to document the culinary wonders of every country I visit. My coverage won’t stop at the most popular dishes, but delve deeply into the most nutritious, colorful, and fulfilling meals each country holds. Exploring new countries takes lots of energy, and I take pride in properly nourishing myself for each adventure. 

EXERCISE  

If it’s pilates in a park in Milan or nifty fitness hacks in Metz, I am determined to maintain my strength even when living out of a suitcase. My goal is to prove that balancing exploration and exercise is not only possible but can add a whole new dimension to the travel experience. 

FASHION  

I hope to keep GT Wears lively off campus by covering the most innovative fashion trends I see. I want to hear all about the ideas behind what Tech students wear for their travels to guide prospective students’ packing plans. When I step into fashion hubs like Paris, Milan, or Berlin, absorbing the fashion choices of locals and their intentions behind them is my main goal.  

I’m so excited to share everything about my passions and so much more on this four-month adventure! 

Meet Katherine !

GTE Spring 2025 Blogger — Katherine Sanders

Hello! My name is Katherine Sanders and I am a second year Computer Science major at GT! I was born and raised in Montana, where my love for travel was shaped by a childhood spent seeking adventure and exploring new landscapes. During my semester in Metz, I want to take a different route: sit back and absorb the aesthetics.  

If you’ve ever been approached by a stranger who asked some questions about your outfit, chances are it was me! I currently write for Technique’s GT Wears section, catapulting me out of my comfort zone. While the experience has been daunting, it hasn’t tarnished my love for the subject–I learn so much about how students’ backgrounds intersect with their everyday style.
