One of the most important lessons I learned on this program is the value of being experimental. Stepping out of my comfort zone, trying new things, and embracing unfamiliar experiences opened doors to personal growth and discovery. I would encourage future students to approach their study abroad adventures with an open mind and a willingness to explore beyond their boundaries.

I learned about a different culture in various aspects. The professional world, the shopping world, the food world, the social world, and simply navigating. Only go to this trip if you are interested in learning more about yourself and how to build a life outside of America. See how you would live and how you feel in various spaces. I have traveled before, but never for a professional trip. I found this interesting because it felt like "after work" I can go and do various activities. I guess I learned more abou thow I am on a fundamental basis and who I'm not.

My favorite part of this program was the fact that it was a professional trip. It was a realistic trip if you decide to move abroad. You work and then you go do what you want in your freetime. The trip allowed you to learn more about yourself and if living abroad is a true goal for you, for you to see what you would do while you are in the country of your choice. I appreciated mingling with former Jayhawks, because when you travel a lot, oftentimes, there aren't many people who know where you "come from". I appreciated talking with them because ti made me feel that the Jayhawk network is so wide and interested in being open.
