Traveling abroad can be the most enlightening and amazing
adventure you could ever imagine. Outside of your comfort zone, you can see new
places, have incredible experiences at your fingertips and make relationships
that could last a lifetime.
I was given the opportunity to spend a month in the beautiful
city of Singapore a few years ago. I loved waking up every morning knowing I
was able to explore and learn about the country’s history, culture and people.
It broadened my worldview and gave me the chance to meet treasured friends
around the world I still keep in contact with today.
My plea is all students who decide to study abroad travel
joyfully and safely. Travel joyfully, because not every season of life will
allow you to travel like you can now. Travel as widely as you can and see as
much as you can with an open mind and an open heart.
Most importantly, travel safely. Prepare for emergencies
before departing, get vaccinations, research your country and buy travel
insurance. Learn the emergency phone numbers you need to know. Make sure your
housing situations are safe. Travel with friends, not alone. Pack accordingly.
There is so much to lose if you don’t make these wise preparations before
leaving the country.
