Why you should study abroad!

The school of life doesn't have holidays

I studied abroad for 3 months this past year and I can honestly say I had the time of my life! In such a short time, I learned so much: about myself, my strenghts and weaknesses, about cultural differences, about living in an appartment with 4 girls and so much more... 

My tips for living or studying abroad:

1. Always keep an open mind.
2. Take every opportunity and try everything at least once! Well maybe not everything, but you know what I mean...
3. Try to learn a new language while you can: native speakers teach you things no text book or teacher can.
4. Immerse yourself in this new culture: food, language, music, books, etc.
5. Get to know the locals, they are the best tour guides!

I know this is my personal experience and it is different to every individual. But if you are thinking about living abroad for a while, whether it be for study, work or other reasons, I strongly encourage you to take this opportunity! I guarantee you will become a much richer person because of it.
