Your personal statement should tell a compelling story of how your academic, professional, and life experiences have made you qualified for the course. It should also address why you chose that school and how the experience and acquired knowledge would help you achieve your career goals. This should be a well-structured essay of about 500 […]
Challenges are part of the learning and leadership development process when it comes to cross-cultural leadership. Without challenges, there is no motivation to push yourself out of your comfort zone. During my study abroad pathway experience, I was able to observe and practice cross-cultural leadership. I observed cross-cultural leadership far before I stepped foot in […]
I don’t know if that title makes sense, but my brain has fast forwarded right to then end of 8th and sadly I still have sheets to do before I get there. I have been supremely unproductive for four days in a row now and I just can’t bring myself to care that much. It’s […]
Studying or working abroad is an exciting time of discovery. You’ll experience new cultures, make friends from all over the world and learn a huge amount about yourself.

It feels like yesterday I was at the airport when a snapchat notification from my freshman year roommate popped up on my phone and I found myself in tears, […]
Getting away from your old – and well known – context to find yourself: why is an exchange study program so unique? Before moving abroad from everything I ever knew and loved, even though I did not knew how much I loved it back then, I made a very good research to predict what living […]

First trip together to Broken Bow, OK. 2018. “Exploring Parks” was created to capture and share David’s & my journey of adventuring together. It started to form way before I met David though, so grab your passport as we travel back in time. I caught the contagious “travel bug” years earlier when I took a […]

My computer randomly started working again today! I let the battery run down, replugged it, and let one of my housemates poke at it. Of course the minute someone else touched it it started working (and I had secured a computer loan–the loan was literally sitting at the lodge!). I think something was wrong with […]
I came to Germany with 1 suitcase, 1 rucksack, a sleeping kit and a winter. Though I had 46 kgs for luggage, I did not bring too much stuff, since, honestly, you do not really need it – at all. Blankets, pillows, and 3 shoes and a couple of summer sandals, and chappals, and food […]
