Your code worked in my console. Maybe try using for(var prop in person)

I think you got this right:

var person = {
  name : 'Sarah',
  country : 'US',
  age : 35,
  treehouseStudent : true,
  skills : ['JavaScript', 'HTML', 'CSS']
};

for(prop in person ){
  console.log(prop, ': ', person[prop]);
}

As it works for me in the console too. Tho I would try to get used to the forEach in ES6 as it is a bit more readable in my opinion.

There is also this helpful link: https://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_object_for_in

Kind regards, Robert.
