Embrace the ways in which you have changed through the experience and all that you have learned. There are numerous ways to carry on your international education experience after the international portion has concluded. Your time abroad is the first aspect of a phase of growth that you are setting off into. After your time abroad has concluded, the new perspectives, knowledge, and opportunities gained abroad will continue to influence your future growth.

When you first arrive in a new country, you may initially feel overwhelmed being in a new environment.  When I first arrived in Lima, I did not know what to expect, but I knew that I was not alone. EdOdyssey’s one month orientation program served as an amazing starting point to get adjusted to the city, gain more knowledge about Peru, and improve my level of Spanish.
