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.

\\n

First 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.

\\n

I 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.

\\n

Finally, 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.
