What was your favorite part of studying abroad?
My favorite part of studying abroad was that everything is new! Every connection that I made or event I went to seemed to open up even more unknown, exciting experiences. It was thrilling to realize that the limits to what I could discover and explore was ultimately decided by me.
What was your favorite meal abroad?
My favorite meal was the infamous Turkish Doner Kebab! Its delicious rotisserie meat, vegetables, sauces, and crispy bread had me instantly hooked. Its very cheap price drove me to eat more of it than I should have...
What advice do you have for future study abroad students?
My biggest piece of advice would be to always remain concentrated on what you are doing abroad. During studying abroad it is really easy to get caught up in what you miss about home (for me it was friends, Mexican food, etc.), but it is essential to stay focused and redirect your attention on ways you can improve your experience. Doing this will help you gain the most out of an experience that for most seems to go by too quick.
What are your plans for the future?
After graduation I plan on traveling as much as possible and volunteering through the Peace Corps. I want to work in the healthcare field as an epidemiologist studying infectious diseases. On top of this, my other dream jobs include being a heli-skiing guide, voice actor, deep sea scuba diver, and professional Spikeball player (I'm still trying to figure out how to mix these 5 together).
