| The host family was by far the best part! |
Staying
with a native of Spain made the experience richer, as I was completely immersed
in the life of the European country and forced to speak the language! I was
able to put into perspective how privileged so many Americans are, and how much
we take for granted. I began to thrive in the Spanish culture and ideas of living
every day to its fullest, and simply enjoying life. The biggest benefit from my
experience abroad was the new outlook on life I acquired. I realized that there
is so much in the world to be explored, and I have only scratched the surface.
Now, I
have to live with the permanent travel bug, which is temporarily satisfied by
my position as an ISA Global Ambassador. I promote study abroad on campus,
which is the best job ever! My work with both the U of A study abroad office
and International Studies Abroad external program helps promote the idea of
studying abroad to the overwhelmingly large number of students on campus who
need a push toward their experience of a lifetime.

I am
glad to have the opportunity to openly share my stories and study abroad knowledge
with any and every Arkansas student! Studying abroad=the best thing I’ve done
in my 20 years. I am so excited that I can now say that this has been my best
experience in life without hesitation!
