Word to your Mom:STUDY ABROAD!!!


If you want to get be a big travel bug while still in college, I suggest you study abroad. You'll never, ever, ever, ever regret it.

Studying abroad is something you can’t experience once you’re out of college. My study abroad experience was like a long vacation with classes on the side. The only exam I took was an oral exam that occurred in the back seat of long bus trip. A lot of people have been asking me about where they should study abroad but I think it all depends on personal preference. My old roommates and I chose the “land of Oz” because of the summer weather, loaded activity list, and the comfort of knowing that Australia’s a neutral and developed country. Therefore, there were no bomb threats, possible kidnappings or exposure to infectious diseases. Within our five week trip, we went horse back riding, snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, surfing, sky-diving, sailing, white water rafting, paragliding, and much, much more. The last time I checked, you couldn’t really bungee jump off the Eiffel Tower…

My trip included staying in Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Cairns) and New Zealand (Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown).
