Talk to me about: Anything and everything! KPop, food, studying a new language, transportation & navigation, you name it! I learned many tips and tricks while studying abroad and even created a master document full of tips and travel links for a friend who studied abroad in Korea after I did. I am an open book, so feel free to reach out to me at any time.
Advice: Studying abroad will be one of the most exciting, rewarding, life-changing experiences in your young adult life. While it may come with some challenges, do not be afraid because fear will only hold you back. Be open, immerse yourself into the culture, and maintain a growth mindset. I feel so lucky to have experienced so many new things while studying abroad. I have made lifelong friends and memories that I will forever cherish. Time really flies, especially when you’re having fun! Always remember that you will never be in your 20s and studying abroad in foreign country again, so shoot your shot now and take advantage of every opportunity. I am certain that studying abroad will leave a lasting impact on you, good luck!
