Study Abroad

Hi, there!

My decision to go abroad for the first time was one of the most influential times of my life.
The amount of growth, confidence, and independence that sprouted from that 3-month trip to Italy is something I’ll always be grateful for.

It can also be a challenging time for many people, unbeknownst to those who have never chosen to leave behind their family, friends, routine, and the comfort of their first language behind.
It’s in those challenging times that we learn so much about ourselves… and experience a time like no other.

If you’re on the fence of going abroad for a semester, a year, or even a shorter program,
I’ve created this page because I wish I had a point of reference (and tips, and inspiration) before I went abroad.
