Finding Yourself Studying abroad gives you the chance to explore a foreign country and culture— but chances are, you’re going to learn even more about who you are. You’ll make new friends, you’ll discover new interests, and you’ll stumble upon things you never knew existed. You’ll be far away from the familiar. You’ll be outside your routine. You’ll lose yourself in all there is to learn, see, and do—and in doing so all of this, you’ll find yourself. Strangely enough, traveling and studying abroad teaches you more about what you’re capable of—this isn’t ‘just a trip’: this is part of your journey to becoming the person you want to be. 11
