Importance Of Traveling Abroad

What challenges do you anticipate on this program, and how do you plan to overcome them?

Traveling abroad to a foreign country presents many challenges, such as overcoming the cultural and linguistic barriers, but I am excited at the prospect of facing these obstacles.
