Let me introduce myself: my name is Rowan Thomas, I am 23 and I study International Tourism Management at Stenden University Leeuwarden.

Stenden offers several opportunities to study abroad. One of them is Grand Tour Programme. As a highlight of my study acreer, I chose to go to Stenden Bali as a Grand Tour student to follow Event Management.

That experience has inspired me to share my skills and knowledge with other students. So, I joined the team of Student Mobility Centre for my traineeship and it was great!

In my ten months of internship I met so many students with amazing and inspiring stories, which encouraged me to see a lot more of the world.

It has been a great joy composing this book, collecting the stories, photos, memories.

I hope you to have as much fun reading it.

Let yourself be inspied by all the wonderfull countries these students and Stenden people visited.

Welcome to the World of Opportunities!
