HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
I loved engaging with the local community in all different ways while abroad. I met many people at coffee shops or other businesses. I also got to meet a local artist who I walked by most days, he even drew me once! My friends and I also would just meet and talk to different people while we were out. Once we were out walking around and we met a group of local French people who taught us how to Folk dance.

 

WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
The most important thing from my study abroad is how much I grew during it. Study abroad is a space where you get comfortable being uncomfortable and it makes it more fun. When I learned to be comfortable being uncomfortable in a different country, continent, and culture I really began living.
