Before I knew it, my time abroad has come to an end. It has been the most beautifully amazing culmination of experiences I could have imagined!

For me, this was a lifelong dream! I learned so much about other cultures, and personally, Iโ€™ve learned to be more independent and how to step out of my comfort zone.

It was very eye-opening, to see how people of different cultures live, think, and simply do things differently. I loved having conversations with individuals and learning about their experiences and thoughts on the world. I feel as if this experience gave me a better understanding of the world and a more cosmopolitan vantage point. Iโ€™m beyond grateful for this opportunity to have met such wonderful and diverse people!
