Opportunities for university or college students to study abroad - during non-Covid times, of course - are very special. While I didn\'t get an opportunity to study abroad for any part of my university education, it\'s something I definitely want to encourage my son to do and putting together Episode 233 of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast reminded me of many reasons why.
\\nFirst up, I chat with Jennifer Johnston who spent time in the United States studying abroad as part of her Australia-based university degree. She speaks of many of the advantages of study abroad programs and the huge changes they can make in the students who take them.
\\nI then speak with Tinsley Rios about her shorter study abroad experience in Peru - a reminder that it doesn\'t need to be a long program to have a lasting impact.
\\nFinally, Patti Buff tells me about her experiences as a college exchange student in Dublin, Ireland - and we chat about some of the many extra-curricular parts of being on a study abroad program which are just as valuable as any time in the lecture hall.
