2. 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 happy…until 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) didn’t weigh anything, but made a huge impact.

4. 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 Poly’s 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.

5. 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 professor’s house, and watched French films in theaters.

6. Wanderlust • When I first moved to Paris, I was nervous to venture out on my own, afraid of getting lost since my navigational skills weren’t (and still aren’t) 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. • Source: http://bit.ly/1Vf4pfH
