Hi! My name is Talia Seidner and I’m a 21-year-old Beatles fan and aspiring researcher. This July, I have the incredible opportunity to study abroad in the United Kingdom through Kutztown University’s London Study Abroad Program. My goal is to conduct research on The Beatles and midcentury English culture, culminating in a publishable paper on their lasting impact.

To make the most of this experience, I hope to extend my stay beyond the program’s two-week minimum. This will allow me to dive deeper into my research and explore more of Europe’s rich cultures. While I work two jobs and save diligently, the costs of an overseas trip—especially travel expenses and research materials—are more than I can manage alone.

Your support will help cover these essential expenses and give me the chance to fully participate in this unique academic adventure. Any contribution, big or small, brings me closer to my dream of becoming a researcher and sharing my passion for history and The Beatles with the world. To make my dreams come true, I would benefit immensely with a little help from my friends - you all!
