What is she talking about?

As a late introduction, I should tell you all what I will be writing about.

I abhor cliches, but when it comes to study abroad, they kind of are all right. Best experience of my life, changed my life, worth all the pennies. Blah blah blah.
Traveling is one of life's greatest adventures, often wildly unpredictable and at times confusing. Take my first day in the Netherlands: I waited an hour and a half for my ride to the house I was staying at, outside the train station, in a country where I did not speak the language. Close to a panic attack, I realized I needed to suck it up and work it out for myself. And wouldn't you know it, that taxi driver spoke English.

The willingness to put yourself out in the unknown, to risk money and time, is a rare ability. As students, now is the time to risk it all. After all, you're still on your parent's insurance right?

I have shared the best of my study abroad experiences; next time I will share someone else's unique experience and the lessons learned.
