Traveling and The Study Abroad Journey.
Since I was kid, I love seeing the Airplanes take off and fly away. Every time I saw airplane on the air I start to wave and scream “BYE! BYE!” perhaps that what made my travel lover? However, biggest and longest adventure I had is study abroad. This journey started in 2009 until now. My journey begins in Canada, and then here in The United State of America.
First of all, I want to write what happened before this journey started. Everything was so fast like flash, from the moment I decided to study abroad. From the zero point to Vancouver city just took one month. The story behind this flash moment I kind of did everything without asking my parents, just take my passport and the paper that I need to get school acceptance and Visa approval, and apply. Back home we have some offices that take care of everything you need to get your visa and school paper done. Couple weeks later I got all what I need and then I called a “family meeting” and surprised them by saying “I am going to Canada to complete my study there”. First impression was their eyes and jaws wide open and they reject the idea, it took me three days until I got their approval. If I did take their approval first it will take much longer and they may change their mind while I get everything done, so thank God!
Secondly, Vancouver City, and what I loved about it and what I learned form being there. When I was reading about Canada and Vancouver city to be more precisely, all what I found is the most wonderful and the gorgeous city in the world, and as far what I remember is Vancouver won three time the most beautiful city in the world. Besides all of that what really got all my attention there is the 2010 winter Olympics, even I a...

...s. Form the past three years I spent here in the US I learned how the American people so caring, cheerful, and very helpful.
Lastly, traveling and studying abroad did change my life a lot, especially when you spend more than five years far away from your country and family, you adopt the culture and the environment you are in. I gain a lot of good habits and got rid of bad habits. I thing now from this life experience, I am more self-reliance, and able to face a lot of difficult things in life my more than if I did not go into this experience.
In the way of conclusion, I would say traveling is real life lesson and an eye opening to a lot of thing you may not faced in your home city or country. I really will encourage everyone asking about my journey to try to go out and travel as much as they can I, even I will let my children to study abroad and learn from it.
“It’s difficult to recall the first time I went to Switzerland. The actual experience of flying across the ocean at a young age felt like journeying to a different world. That eleven-hour flight was such a tedious part of the very exciting journey ahead. I remember once looking out the window of the plane as we touched down and feeling such a deep comfort and contentment. I felt as though I was home. What awaited me were days of family and friends, hiking and exploring, and delicious food. It was always such a beautiful experience being i...

Life is full of experiences that have different effects on people. We as people have the chance to learn from our experiences. Although some experience can have negative effect on people, they can also have inspiriting results. My life changed when my parents decided to migrate to the United States of America for a better life. Having to leave ones native country at a young age and moving to a new country with a new language can have profound impact on people’s lives. As for myself, I have changed in several ways since I came to the United States.
I was lucky enough to study abroad and to improve my life skills. Studying abroad was one of the dreams that I really lived and planned for. Because of the impact it will take, it was my first and main reason of why I am currently in the United States of America. Along with the function of studying, there are varieties of advantages that come along with it. As a person, I am most likely to be a better person by adjusting
Learning about new cultures is my favorite thing to do. I interact well with others and enjoy networking with new people. I have found that my ability to meet new people is a trait that makes every visit I have taken to different countries an enjoyable visit. I wish to participate in this program because it has always been a goal of mine to study abroad. By participating in this program I hope to learn about another culture, make international contacts, and gain valuable international business skills.
International students face many different challenges when studying abroad. This is due to many factors. First they are living in a country very far away from their own. The country they are studying in also has a very different way of life than theirs. Also the laws in foreign country are much different than the laws in their own country. Due to that they face a lot of problems trying to adapt to this new culture. Me personally as an international student in the US studying in ASU have faced three particularly difficult challenges that I was able to overcome through time. In this essay I will explain how international students can overcome tough challenges and situations.
There is an abundance of cultures and lessons that teens can learn about as they travel the world. Many teenagers, however do not realize or take advantage of travel opportunities provided for them and the influence travel can have on their lives. There are many programs out there that give all teens the chance to travel and experience the world firsthand regardless of a family’s income. These travels will influence the growing mind by helping them to understand other cultures without the distant feeling that these places do not concern them. Although it may seem scary to some parents to let their child travel to far off places, teens need the exposure to broaden their knowledge and horizons. More teenagers should travel because traveling abroad not only teaches them more about other cultures, but more about themselves, who they are and who they want to become.
Moving abroad is extremely exciting but it is never easy. My life in the Philippines from what I remember, and my life in Canada, have many similarities but can never be the same. Adapting to these new cultures can be extremely challenging and can take a lot of time like it did for me. I also believe that there is always going be cultural differences between countries, and I found out after living here that Canadians accept all
Imagine walking onto a plane and travelling 3,000 miles across the ocean to spend the first semester of your college career in a completely different place than you’ve lived your entire life. Well, that was something that I personally experienced about two years ago. I got accepted to Arcadia University, and into their “FYSAE” (First Year Study Abroad Experience) Program. It was probably the most exciting, yet nerve-wracking thing that I had ever done in my life. I got on a plane and went to the UK for a full four months as a new freshman in college. When I was leaving my home, family, friends, and job I was anxious and sad to be leaving, but once I arrived in the UK I could not contain my excitement. I studied at Stirling University in Stirling, Scotland. The semester that I studied abroad was probably the best time of my life. In those four short months, I experienced a different culture, ate new foods, made lifelong friends, travelled to other places, learned to understand an accent that sounds like a whole other language, and learned to be independent. I accomplished all this while learning and taking a full course load (and getting good grades) at the university.
I was able to spend a lot of time with my family, our friends, and play all sorts of games. This experience made me start to like traveling. Every time I would get the chance to travel, I will take that chance. We were able to go to a theme park, eat many delicious foods, and play many video
Every community college student hopes to one-day transfer to a prestigious four-year university. However, not every university is alike and, not every university is the correct fit for an individual student. Many factors can sway what a student looks for in a transfer institute; and some experiences can influence one’s reasoning’s and objectives further than others. Both my academic and travel experiences have influenced my idea of what type of university would ideal for myself.
The world is a magnificent place that’s full of life and new places. Places that are waiting to be walked upon and viewed by the eye’s of travelers. To make new memories and go places that is beyond the walls of reality and new pathways of life. To truly experience the wonders that the world has to offer can be expressed by the life of one single person, setting off into the world to gain a higher purpose about the world. Traveling individually enables people to broaden their minds and accumulate new ideas and new experiences both nationally and internationally. By setting off into the world a person has the ability to learn so many new things, but also find so much about themselves while in the process of traveling.
There is nothing quite like traveling, going someplace new and finding out more about the world and yourself. Anyone can become a traveler it just takes a little bit of faith and courage. Traveling across the world or even across the country is a learning experience. When you are a traveler you see how people live and how different cultures work. It is the best educational experience you could give yourself. You see how the world works in a way no one can teach you. Seeing different cultures and people help build the person you want to be. If you are a traveler the world influences you, because when traveling, you see the good and the bad, and you learn from the right and the wrong. I am very lucky that I am able to be a traveler and see this
