For many students, break is the perfect time to enjoy a week full of fun activities. As time quickly flies by and your semester is already half-way over, it’s advisable for students to look at what they’ve accomplished so far in the year and consider future possibilities that they might embark on. 

Group travel offers the perfect opportunity to embark on an exciting adventure abroad, with people you know or friends who you haven’t met yet! Traveling in groups can be extremely rewarding and there are plenty of advantages, including cost-effectiveness and accessibility!

The educational impact that travel contributes to teachers and students goes beyond the classroom. Educators, administrators and faculty from schools around the nation extend their lessons abroad and work with EdOdyssey to develop custom programs that create holistic and enriching learning experiences that best fit their needs. 

A study abroad experience can oftentimes be confused as a vacation abroad.  One of the most important aspects of a study abroad experience is for it to be authentic.  Authenticity can include visiting local food spots, trying new cuisine, using the public transport, and building local connections in order to have  a more culturally fulfilling experience. You will learn much more about a country by living authentically, while boosting your travel and local knowledge IQ.  

You may be thinking about studying abroad, but the bigger question is, “where”? This contemplation is understandable, but if you go a step further you can recognize your study abroad choice even greater.  Instead of asking yourself: “Where do I want to study abroad?”, you should ask yourself what you want to do while studying abroad, what your goals are, and what you want to take away from your experience. Students often associate studying abroad with Europe and never consider non-traditional destinations like China.
