What was your favorite part of studying abroad?
I loved making friends with people from all over the world, as their perspectives informed my worldview. Also, I now have friends to visit in so many places!
What was your favorite meal abroad?
Sabich from the Machane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem was my favorite food abroad. It is fried eggplant and hard-boiled egg in a pita pocket full of fresh and pickled vegetables, with lots of hummus and tahini on top. People-watching while eating it in the vibrant and busy market was one of my favorite pastimes.
What advice do you have for future study abroad students?
What are your plans/goals for the future?
The advice I would give to a future study abroad student is to go on spontaneous adventures; some of the most fun times I had were when I agreed to do something last minute, and if I hadn’t been flexible I would have missed out on great opportunities to make new friends and see more of the world.
One of my goals for the future is to become fluent in Hebrew, so that I can move to Israel after I graduate and communicate with Israelis effectively.
