I'm halfway through my study abroad, and I cannot recommend it enough. If there is a time to travel, it is during college. Since arriving in Spain, I have been to eight different cities, learned more Spanish than I thought, and gained a well-rounded perspective on culture in Spain and the U.S. I have met new people from the UO and various countries within Europe. I have explored cathedrals much older than the U.S. – and I still have another month before I return to the UO!

Exploring the Dolomites is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Professor Lollini facilitates a space to reflect, grow, and connect in nature, creating an impactful experience regardless of your background or major. The friends I made in the Dolomites are some of my best friends to this day and people I never would have met without this program.

This summer I had the opportunity to do a graphic design internship in Singapore as a GlobalWorks student. I got to work in a local creative agency during the week and travel around Southeast Asia during the weekends and after the eight-week program. I learned so much about myself and my career goals during the process. My biggest takeaway from the experience was realizing how much of the world I have yet to see–and also how good Singaporean chicken rice is!

Studying aboard through GEO's Advertising and PR in Chile program was a wonderful experience. We had the opportunity to create an advertising campaign for Kingston Family Vineyards, a Chilean-American Winery located in the Chile's Casablanca Valley. Using equipment I lent from the J-Cage in the SOJC, I was able to capture and edit photos to use throughout our campaign! 

Studying abroad was a transformative experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone and broadened my perspective on both the world and myself. Immersing myself in a new culture helped me develop adaptability, independence, and a deeper appreciation for different ways of thinking and communicating. It also reinforced my love for storytelling and observing how media, advertising, and journalism vary across cultures. What I loved most was the opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and gain insight into their perspectives.
