5 Things to Bring Home From Studying Abroad
3

• I returned from studying abroad in Paris with a
  suitcase 20 pounds over the weight limit and a
  hefty overage charge of 200 euros (not
  recommended).
• My mom was not very happyuntil she received her
  Christmas present, which was the main reason my
  suitcase was so heavy.
• I brought back bundles of other presents, too,
  like macaroons, coffee, and handfuls of mini
  Eiffel Tower key chains.
• However, I also discovered many unexpected
  souvenirs that (thankfully) didnt weigh
  anything, but made a huge impact.

• A Career Path
• I had no idea that the field of International
  Education existed until I studied abroad, but the
  experience opened my eyes to the possibility of
  working at a job with an international component.
• After returning to Cal Poly, I joined as many
  international groups that I could find the CEA
  Alumni Ambassador program, Cal Polys
  International Peer Contact program, and the TESL
  program.
• These opportunities helped me connect to my
  school community and gave me a post-graduation
  goal to strive toward. Because of study abroad
  and these new networks, I found my current
  position as the Alumni Relations Associate at
  CEA.
• Studying abroad was the first stepping stone to
  helping me discover what I was truly passionate
  about and what I wanted from a job after
  graduation.

• Experiential Learning
• One of my favorite parts about my CEA program was
  the experiential learning.
• Every Thursday, my art history class went to
  architectural sites and viewed paintings up
  close, which allowed me to truly understand the
  class material and contributed to my love for
  Paris.
• In my French class, we visited Père Lachaise,
  went to a French play, ate lunch at the
  professors house, and watched French films in
  theaters.

• Wanderlust
• When I first moved to Paris, I was nervous to
  venture out on my own, afraid of getting lost
  since my navigational skills werent (and still
  arent) the best.
• However, the more comfortable I became with my
  surroundings, the more I experienced Paris on my
  own walking back from class instead of taking
  the metro, running through the city to train for
  a 10k, and even getting lost on purpose.
• My desire to explore and confidence to go alone
  grew throughout my study Abroad Education loan
  experience and has followed me ever since.

7

• Knowing that I could feel at home in Paris also
  gave me the confidence to accept a position in
  Phoenix, a place I had never visited before.
• I now not only want to travel internationally
  but also want to explore close to home,
  discovering hidden gems, learning about different
  cultures, and making new friends.
