My name is Sarah Shorter and I’m really excited to be a content writer and curator intern with EdOdyssey this summer! During my first three years at the College of the Holy Cross, my double major in Anthropology and Latin American, Latinx, and Caribbean studies has increased my appreciation of global cultures. This interest led me to study abroad with EdOdyssey in Lima, Peru, where I matured academically, socially, and personally.

Have you asked yourself: “Do I have what it takes to study abroad?” The answer to this question is quite simply, YES. Studying abroad can be a part of anyone’s educational journey because there are more opportunities for you to find the best program for you and a lot of flexibility with the programs! The wide variety of programs that offer shorter and longer durations.

Whether we’re students or teachers, our knowledge of both content and beliefs gets tested when we go abroad. As we step into the unknown and travel, we begin to understand more about other cultures, but at the same time, we start to process and gain more insight into our own individual personality and values.  

The best part about traveling comes with experiencing new places with a fun group of people because all of us have an opportunity to learn so much from each other.

Our customizable group school trips abroad allow teachers and their administrations to give us the tools to develop enriching, educationally-focused trips for them and their students.
