We all like to travel... But not all of us actually take the risk of leaving our comfort zone and explore the world and everything it has to offer.. Either for academic purposes or just out of curiosity. This blog will give you information about International Education or just travelling in general...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06048638132559212888noreply@blogger.comBlogger21125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758703450537244533.post-68972481803870784022014-05-21T14:45:00.000-07:002014-05-22T16:33:07.138-07:00IMAGINE THERE IS NO COUNTRIES... THE WORLD LIVING AS ONE...<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes, John Lennon dream is still a dream. We travellers are dreamers, and not the only ones but.. Unfortunately, there are still borders, possessions and the world is not shared by all the people.. What Im trying to says is YES, We need passports, paperwork and if you are Colombian.. VISAS AND MORE VISAS.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A visa is a document or a stamp placed in your passport that acts as an endorsement to enter a country. Many countries require a visa for entrance, and most do for work, study or extended stays. Some you can get at the border (or when you arrive) or others you need to obtain in advance.. NOT FUN, I Know.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Read carefully all the requirements (They are usually published clearly in the embassys webpages) and please, dont avoid any of them. Its better to have more than less of what they ask. And plan with time... Depending on the embassy is the process time but its usually a couple of weeks. Usually, embassies will ask you for paperwork about your finances, plain and accommodation bookings, references and job certificates and filling forms. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">HOW TO HANDLE YOUR PASSPORT?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Dont lose it!! Take plenty of precautions. Don't walk around with your passport (unless the country you are in requires you to have it at all times). Instead, carry a copy of your passport and visa (if there is one) in your wallet, stash one in your bag, and give one to a travel buddy. Also, e-mail a copy of your passport and visas to yourself in case you lose all your staff and need to prove your status anywhere in the world or at your own embassy anywhere in the world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is an important and practical issue to take into account. If you happen to need further advise on visa matters, I may be able to help.... Just write!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thats how you get the most of every place you will visit.... Today, Im writting from FINCA LA ADLAGISA... In Mendoza, Argentina.. Wine Paradise... So, I thought.. Should I find the commun very well located into the city room or drawn myself into the wine country... I chose right! This place is just unbelivable and wanted to share it in my blog... Totally reccommended if you happen to be visiting the área... Not only the great attention, personalised counselling and food but also the amazing experience you get to have here... Don't even think about it!</span></div>

Also, you have many activities to do in the area if you get tired of wines (don't think so), extreme sports, trekking, termas and spas... My recommendation- COME!</span></div>

Here is the highest mountain in the Americas, Aconcagua, 6,962 m. It is an icon of world mountaineering visited every year by lovers of trekking, mountain climbing and ecotourists in general.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Running is a sport that has been growing at breathtaking pace during the last 10 years. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">From the 5k to the marathon, Amateur runners are signing up, more and more, to cross the finish line and break what they call their "PB" or "PR"; which stands for personal best or personal record, respectively. And finding a reason for the accelerated growth of this popular sport might be quite easy; in essence, almost everyone can run; you only need a pair of trainers, and that is it, you are ready to hit the road. But is it all you need? How about compression socks, singlets, fueling gels, sun glasses, tights, Vaseline, bands, gps watch, and all the rest of goodies and stuff runners use? Now, just like the consumption of all these, traveling for a race has also been growing, so here are 5 tips if you are willing to race abroad:</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Select your race with enough time in advance; not only to train for the distance, but also to register for the event. Berlin Marathon entries are available almost 11 months before the race and get sold out in a few hours. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Now that you know when and where you are running, don't be lacy and book transportation and lodging ASAP. During the last month before Boston Marathon, it was almost impossible to find a room in the city for the race weekend, and if you did, the prices could be 3 times more expensive vs regular prices. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Make sure your travel plan is considering to arrive at least 24hrs before the race. Attending to the expo, and picking up you kit is part of these ritual that runners love. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- If flying to get there, one good thing to do, is to wear compression socks during the flight. You might not feel any difference to regular socks, but keeping a good flow of blood to your muscles will let them recover faster from the pressurized environment of the cabin. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Last but not least, don't send your racers (racing shoes) in your registered luggage; keep them in the carry on bag that you are allowed to take. In case your luggage gets misplaced, you will still avoid the not-so-nice experience of running a long distance race with brand new shoes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once a runner sets himself/herself a bigger, or let's call it longer, or faster goal, they will, most of the times, aim for something greater. And they don't mean greater only in terms of record breaking. How about the World's Best 10k (Puerto Rico) in February? NYC or Berlin half in March? A World Marathon Major? Individual greatness is being challenged every weekend on the roads and trails of the world, and behind it, there are thousands of traveling runners ready to do so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The last weekend I visited Rosario, Argentina for the half marathon (Rosario 21k). Amazing Atmosphere!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had never done it. I had always wanted to try If I could do it... First time this January... Just want to tell you.. Its not that hard!! Not easy either but if you take a couple of hours course, you will be fine!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Skiing is an "approachable" sport that anyone who wants to learn the technique in very few days to slide in the snow can do it... You just need some good humour.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here, Iam in Navacerrada, near Madrid.... Not the nicest weather but after two hours, I managed to do it on my own. Just find a good academy or instructor and be well equipped and dressed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of the posts of these week was about walking tours. There is one specific walking tour that is not very cultural or historical... Oh well, you can say it has some cultureness about it.. You get to know the local way of drinking! Its the pub crawls, or bar crawls.. Depending on the city and the culture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Most of the touristic cities would offer them, and its just a way of having a fun night out, even if you are travelling by yourself... Its fun! And its a wonderful chance to meet new people and explore the best of the nightlife of the city. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How it works is basically, you meet at a set time in the evening. Usually the starting point is a bar, and the fees include some drinks, or even a T-shirt some times. After you get there, it all flows.. So don't worry! Be prepared for a fun night out and don't plan any early morning trips the next day... You may have to sleep longer after visiting more than 5 bars and a club at the end.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here, its me attending a pub crawl in Prague, with some Australian girls I met there. As you see, people get very friendly!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Large, majestic, full of life ... this city of 2 million inhabitants is gothic and is romantic.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today, I wanted to write about this city that is one of the things that comes to my mind when people ask me what city I have liked the most from all my humble traveling journey.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Honestly, I cannot say I have preferred one place over another of all I have visited... I like to think every single city has its own magic, its uniqueness. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However, Budapest is the closest I can say about favouritism. I was not expecting much from it, but it truly gave me lots of surprises... And I highly recommend to visit if you have the chance. Will be worth it! Why?...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Its great history boasts its beauty without showing off... Budapest has many buildings and streets that remind immediate past behind the Iron Curtain. With a history of glory and pain, between rebellions and deportations; wars and conspiracies, Hungary has failed to finish in transit to modernity. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Budapest is admired for its monuments, buildings, towers and domes that combines an atmosphere of architectural beauty. Its called the Paris of the East!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Neighbourhood of the Royal Palace and the Danube together with Andrássy Avenue, have received the title of World Heritage Site of UNESCO. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Its just breathtaking!! Look at the view.</span></div>
<br />

I have found that the tours I have enjoyed the most are the ones I have done walking. Its the way I get to know a city in its deepest and authentic way...Most of the cities nowadays have these kind of organised guided free walking tours... Wherever you go, Just Google it. The nicest part... Most of them are for free! or tip-based...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Besides that great advantage.. "you give the value that you consider it had", it is also very healthy! And you get to meet people from all around the world </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are many companies that provide this kind of tours and are usually done every day of the week, with different languages options and are usually about 3 hours long. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">- Be prepared for any type of weather. Bring umbrella, sunglasses and use sunblock cream.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ok.. This is the last post about "What to take into account when studying abroad".. You are almost set! After you made all those difficult decisions, now it is a fact... You are going to start your course abroad... How do you get there? Of course, depending where you are situated and how far it is from your destination, but you would usually have to buy flight tickets. Here are some tips that will help you buy the best deal possible:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. The key, as I have pointed out before is to plan everything with time... This way you would have some room for flexibility, which is the most important factor if you want to get a cheap ticket!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. You have several options about where you should buy them. It could be online multi-brand browsers (such as lastminute.com, expedia.com, kayak.com, skyscanner.com). I would encourage you to first of all, use them all! or at least 3 of them. This way you can actually see everything that the market has to offer in terms of airlines, schedules, number of stops and prices for the trip you are looking for. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Going directly to the airline site sometime works better, so after you find the itinerary you liked using the option above, you may try directly with the airline, which sometimes turns out to be even cheaper, specially for non stop flights</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Try tricking the system by changing currencies, dates, or airports within the same city or cities closeby. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Be creative! Sometimes combining transportation means might result in big savings. So you may mix airplain tickets+train+bus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">6. Subscribe to newsletters! I know... It can be annoying and Personally, I try to avoid it as much as I can, but in this case, its worth it!! You may be having privileged, last minute information that can make your journey end up being much cheaper!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">7. Forget about the weekend!! Definitely flying on a tuesday or Wednesday will be much cheaper than doing it the weekend days. Also, take into account the holidays and seasons, for example christmas, new year or Easter are dates in which usually plain tickets are more expensive.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now, we have finished every aspect to take into account when traveling abroad for academic purposes. Still there are many elements we were not able to explain better but if you want further information, please never hesitate to contact me!!</span><br />

course, the country, the institution where you will be studying. Now it comes
the time to find where you will live. Once again, it is all about setting
priorities regarding money an time. Each case is different and you will choose
an accommodation regarding your needs, your budget and your lifestyle.
Anyways, I thought it would be useful
for you to consider them all and understand the differences in order to make an
adequate decision… <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Basically you have 3
options with some varieties… Student residences, host families and private
accommodation (student houses or flats)… You also can choose if you want to
share or enjoy a single room (for which the price varies of course) and in the
case of residences and flats, you will have to pay extra money if you ware not
willing to share a toilet, a shower or the kitchen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">My experience:<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Personally, I have lived
in a native host family and in a student residence and have experienced both,
sharing and single room. Each one of these options comes with its pros and
cons, as everything in life I guess… For me, it was a matter of priorities according
to my age and budget at the moment. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Living in a host family
gives you great atmosphere when first facing a new language; you will be forced
to practice and therefore, you will improve easily day by day! It will also
help you to understand from a close perspective the new culture you are entering
to and to be tolerant and respectful about it. Also, you will have people who
you can share your day anecdotes with during dinner, someone to take care of
you when you are feeling sick or just need to be heard when feeling upset about
anything.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now that I live in
Cambridge, Iam living in a student residence without sharing room nor bathroom
and kitchen; Amazing experience as well… Different for me, coming from a conservative
culture and very family oriented country, it has been the first time living on
my own. I am not going to lye, it has not been easy to arrive home to no one,
but it has also its bright side: I have gotten to experience that privacy I had
never had, the myself time we all need to get to know ourselves better, the
independence of looking after myself and the greatness of playing the music as
loud as I want until the time I feel like!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

breakfast!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lets get more serious. When traveling abroad for studying purposes, this decision could be the most important one. Your whole learning experience will depend on the quality of your teachers, your classes, your modules and the greatness of your title!...So, be careful with the institution you choose to enrol. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My tip? Get professional or reliable advice</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Find advise: </b>If you are a very self-taught person, you may think that you can find the perfect place to invest your course money, which can be true, or not... Let me tell you from my personal experience working on the field, there are many nice looking webpages with photoshopped images and disguised information. Worldwide, education is business! And the companies in the industry are usually very good at marketing themselves online. Get informed from neutral sources and get in touch with previous experiencers of the institutions you are analysing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Using an agency: </b>There are many myths about this, and even as it is hard to believe, let me tell you that it is not more expensive to use the professional advise of an agent. Most of the time, they work by a commission percentages and if you skip this 3rd party, the only thing you are doing is saving the institution to give away this commission fee, but your course wont become any cheaper because of this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, if you are willing, find a well recognised local agency in your country that can give you some specific information about institution rankings, previous experience with other clients/students, international mixes within the institutions, visa requirements and they can even share contacts with you of people who have previously studied the same you want in the institution you are feeling attracted by...., it can save you lots of time while you focus on the important things prior your trip.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Factors you have to take into account when choosing the institution you will be spending most of your time are locations within the city, facilities on campus, number of students per class, international mix, reputation within the country and worldwide and expertise on the subject you will be learning about. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Are you an Adventurer and a Extreme sports passionate?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Continuing with the topic of Where will you live your dream, Today´s post will help you feed all that adrenaline you have going on even its hidden somewhere very deep inside your soul.... Today we will speak of Australia, not only because It is a destination with a great offer of extreme activities set up for you, but also because of the diversity of things to do they offer... So, Australia will be the destination I would recommend for this kind of trip... Start preparing to go and see the dramatic landscape of the world:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>AUSTRALIA </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Why? Only because of the Great Barrier Reef, you will already have a huge load of guaranteed adventure. To get there you will have to take a boat ride from Cairns and once you are there, the world of possibilities regarding adventure is endless. Scuba, skydiving and even feeding sharks! . Also in many other Australian cities you can always book trips to go Skydiving, Bungee jumping, hang gilding, windsurfing, kite-boarding, hot air ballooning, rock climbing, rafting, mountain biking, or just take an afternoon to learn how to surf in Bondi beach!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This country is just the paradise for a bit of danger freaks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Im not the biggest one (as you can see my face on the video) but it seemed for me kind of an obligation to jump off a plain and get into the waves with surfing classes when being in Australia... Totally worth it!!! So, even if you are not the biggest risk taker... Give it a try! Perhaps you become one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Other places that will be worth taking a look if you have already been to Aussie Land are SouthAfrica, New Zeland, Canada, Scottland and Perú.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Regarding the last post
about the big challenge of deciding where to go, lets consider something that is
very likely to happen when you first arrive to this new country you carefully
have chosen; <b>A culture shock. </b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You said goodbye to your
family and friends at home, feeling nostalgic for the feeling of being apart
from them for a period of time but also with the big nice excitement feeling
that novelty brings… Lets confess, its very likely that you are not sad at all!
And there is nothing wrong with it…you might be scared, anxious or a bit
confused but for sure you are somehow very excited about this new experience… However,
once you get there, perhaps it doesn’t feel right anymore. It could happen
after just minutes, hours, days or weeks or it could just not happen at all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Culture shock is more
common than what we think, and there is also nothing bad about it! It’s a
normal, unconscious feeling or process as human beings inserting ourselves into
a whole new lifestyle and culture, and its sometimes followed by a first sight
romance with the place. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The culture shock, as it
is called, is a phenomenon that, in my opinion, happens more as a process than
as an immediate shock. There are many factors that can cause this ugly feeling
of wanting to go back to homey, familiar, same place we have always lived at
and fit perfectly in. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The language barrier,
finding out that many of the things you have learned throughout your life are
not valid anymore in other culture, and the fact that many of the socially
accepted ways of communicating in your culture do not apply anymore so you have
to be carefully aware of things that back at home you were doing in un unconscious
way are some of the issues that can trigger the called culture shock.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This can lead you to feel
homesick, depressed, scared, frustrated nostalgic, isolated and needy to eat a
lot!!! (Which is afterwards very regretful, especially for us, vain women).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For me, it has been a
matter of keeping your mind open and realizing that if you definitely don’t
like it, you don’t have to stay there for the rest of your life!... And if
opening your mind to the new ways of doing things is terribly hard for you,
then I am so glad you made the decision of travel abroad because this
experience will be good for you, you needed it. Even though its feeling a bit
uncomfortable, it will help you develop or improve your adaptations skills,
which you will need in many aspects of your life!.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">At the end, it can only be a
positive outcome for you because if you experience the culture shock, it will help you with your personal growth and will also teach you about tolerance, just be aware that it could happen and try to research as much as possible about this new culture, its history, its manners, values and way of doing things. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cambridge, UK</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Continuing with the different aspects we have to take into account when deciding to study abroad, now lets go deeper into the second one we mentioned in the previous post...“the Location”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ok, So we already know the program we will study. Now...</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Out of all the decisions we have to make in the process of studying abroad; This one, is perhaps the most fun to do!… My advice… Chose that place where you have always wanted to go!, If possible…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Show the world and show yourself who you are and who you have always wanted to be by carefully select the location that will be your "home"... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This time of your life you will spend it abroad studying and most likely, it is for a limited period of time….it will finish! So don’t be afraid of dreaming big about it and experience the life you always felt attracted to when watching movies, reading books or hearing other´s adventures. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Have you ever picture yourself Surfing in Australian or Californian beaches after class accompanied by the sunset?, What about drinking French wine in a little corner bistro with your classmates, or have you ever dreamed of climbing mountains or taking part of extreme sports in New Zealand or Southafrica´s most exiting places during the weekends? or how about riding a nice vintage bike to school?... It’s all possible!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The world is right there, full of different flavours for you to taste…. So analyse well and dream big when deciding where to go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Although this time you spend abroad studying might be a very demanding experience full of tight class/library/seminars/group meetings/work schedules, its also that time of your life where you will get to see the world from a different perspective, one that you could never have gotten in your hometown… And perhaps, you will have the chance to enjoy that student lifestyle you haven’t had for so long… So, make sure you will do it in a place you will enjoy to see, happily get to know and gladly live in. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Culture, budget, food, visa restrictions, work permits, living costs, transportation systems, language, Accent, History, Lifestyle and Weather, are just some of the factors that are directly related with the location you choose. So believe me, It’s worth researching before making the decision. Don’t just go somewhere because it’s the cliché, its where everyone goes to or someone said you should. Be critic about it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes, the program you chose (the previous step) could limit your options. Lets say you decide to study a French language program…. Basically you have two main options: France or Canada. It may seem a bit narrow but still you can make the most out of these two options by asking yourself questions about the things I just pointed: In your knowledge of French… What accent do you like the most? Being your nationality, what are the visa restrictions for each one of them? Would you go to a little city in the south of France where you can visit local markets on Sundays and relax on the beach during the summer? Or do you prefer an international, cosmopolitan vibrating city as Montreal where you can enjoy a busy nightlife and cultural diversity?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After I made the first decision of studying a Masters degree abroad, then the location question mark came along and I CHOSE CAMBRIDGE, UK...How?, Why? Firstly, I needed an English speaking country (Well, that is what I wanted) because it was the language I was fluent in besides Spanish; I wanted to practice it, improve it and also wanted to learn the business English professional terminology. Then the whole world came down to options like Australia, United States, Canada, New Zealand and UK…. That’s when I realized I wanted to go somewhere I could be able to work legally, at least for a part time job to help me with the living expenses and somewhere I had never been before…. Which left me with the UK as an option. Then, I had to choose the city, somewhere I could adjust easily but still not too far from the big city, London, for when I needed some more action… Somewhere I could easily feel at home and ride a bike to go anywhere...Cambridge is all that! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, Where will you live your dream?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Specially for women, specially for me... this is a tricky and stressing task!!</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Perhaps that is why, procrastination is usually the king before starting to pack. I can easily remember myself packing just some hours before leaving to the airport, not only once!.... which is not smart at all because most likely you will end up with no swimming suit in Australia, forgetting your pre scripted medication, no umbrella in the UK or paying expensive over weight fees at the airport.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What I have learned for sure is that packing is a life lesson! As in life, sometimes you have to make wise choices, give up on tempting unnecessary pleasures (such as beauty and hygiene products, hairdryers and perfumes) and focus in the essentials which at the end will make you a better, more resourceful person!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Two factors are important: What to pack and How to do it. My father has been my rescuer most of the time when Im leaving home, he is an absolute master when maximising space is required and his folding methods are just brilliant!. But when coming back I have been forced to face this unpleasant process by myself. I have managed it but don't ask me why!... Last January I had to leave a whole plastic bag full of staff abandoned in an airport in Lisbon, its upsetting!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since I am not the best person to advise on the matter, I have done some research and here are some tips that I found very useful and will start to take into account for my next trip. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First of all, common sense... Keep all the important items such as camera, wallet, passport and medicines in a separate bag that is always going to be with you, and guard it extremely!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">About Clothing...No matter where you are going or the purpose of your trip... For sure you wont need as many clothes as you think you do. Fashionistas can pull it off with minimal clothes and for sure you will end up doing some shopping wherever you go... So you will want to leave room for that as well. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When packing clothes "pack with sacrifice in mind" if you are not 100% sure that you will need it, you probably don't!.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For pants, pack your favourite jeans! The ones that make you feel comfy and that will match with anything. A scarf is always a good companion and more than 3 pair of shoes is greedy.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For bathroom essentials, watch out! Don't overpack... Its the best way to save space and weight. As I said before, this is the hardest for me basically because I can not find the brands I like everywhere but you can get over it and just budget to buy extra shampoos, conditioners, sunscreen and deodorants on the road. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For me, a camera is a MUST for any trip. Even if its your phone, always bring your charger and an extra memory card!. </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ask people!! That is the best way when going to a new place for the first time. Ask someone you know that has already been there. The experience is the most valuable advice... If you don't know anyone. Go online! There is always someone from around the world that is kind enough to help you solve your doubts.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you will be staying at someone´s house, a host family or you will be having a roommate, I reccommend to always bring a little something from where you are originally; its always a nice way to say thank you, positively positioning your culture and start bounding that relationship.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Last but not least from my personal recommendations; always bring with you a pen and a small notebook, you will need it! Your creativity develops extremely when traveling! so don't waste these brilliant moments! Write your thoughts, your discoveries, letters, your business ideas, something you saw that would like to do further research on, draw, or just to write your number for someone interesting you meet on the train.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As we see, not too hard, not too easy... Just a matter of a little planning as it is for everything when traveling! </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">From all five aspects you have to take into
account, mentioned in the previous article <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Program, Location, Institution, Accommodation
and Tickets), usually this is the straightest forward. Why? Because your main
motivator for you taking your studies abroad will be the one that is going
determine the program. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The program is a crucial decision because
based on this, all your life activities will be determined, the people that
will surround you, the free time you will have for other activities such as
sports or socializing… In general, your whole experience studying abroad will
be defined by it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">One of the most common one is to learn a
second language (English usually, if you are not from an English speaking
country). This could be for many reasons (or motivations): One of them is
because if nowadays you don’t tick this box on your CV, it is almost worthless
to apply for the majority of the jobs in any professional field, or even
because most of the Universities worldwide are asking you to speak English at
the beginning of your degree or as a requirement for your graduation, or to
successfully apply for an internship. So what program should you pick when
interested in learning or improving a second language? (It doesn’t have to be
English). French, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, Portuguese are the most common
ones and for sure you will find much offering on the market. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">So, the first and most common program is a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Language course</b>, which could be taken
in an Institute, College or University. Once again, budget is important here to
determine where you want to take it, but we will go deeper on this topic on the
article about the 3<sup>rd</sup> step, which is choosing your institution. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The biggest advantage of the language
courses are the flexibility because most of them have start dates every week
all year round and you can take the courses for as long as you want depending
on the time availability you have or how much you want to improve (usually a
minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 52). The intensity (hours per week of the
course) can also be tailored according to your need and your budget; you can
choose to study 10 hours a week or 40 hours a week, it’s just a matter of
setting priorities as I said before. Also, you will be able to find them in
almost any city of the world with very good locations into the major cities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">For learning another language, you can also
take a look at much cheaper programs such as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Au Pair, summer camps, Work and Travel or High school exchange year. </b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are programs that provide less
flexibility in terms of start dates and time management and there are also
certain requirements you have to meet in order to apply such as previous
experience (for au pair) or minimum level of the language (work and travel) or
just age restrictions<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(for summer camps
and high school exchange programs). However, from my point of view, these are
the kind of programs that will help you the most to really improve the language
in a faster and more efficient way because usually they include a whole
immersion to the culture and its rather difficult to find people talking to you
in your native language. My personal experience learning English was when I was
16 years old and I went to Mississippi in United States as an exchange student
for 9 months, living in an American host family attending to an American High
School. It was a much cheaper program than a language course in a big city,
also much less exciting and not fun at all but for sure the most effective way
I could have chosen to learn English from scratch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Moving forward to other kind of programs,
more specific ones, such as<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> Bachelor or
Master degrees, specialized courses or internships </b>things can get more
complicated due to the numerous requirements you will need to provide in order
to be accepted. As everything, it all depends! But be prepared to show your
diplomas, present interviews on the phone, language knowledge evidence,
motivation letters or essays, officially translated transcripts, references
from teachers or previous bosses, translated CV, previous experience or just
specific skills.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 11.0pt;">One last thing, TIME is very important when
choosing your program. Especially for University studies, there are very strict
deadlines you will have to take into account, which cannot be delayed. Some
programs require more planning time than others and usually institutions are
very rigid about it. Do your research with time to make sure you make the right
decision and then just enjoy your Travelearn experience!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Does this sound familiar? I have said it before... And I would love to tell you… “No, don’t
worry, you don’t need any money to start planning that dream trip that has been
rounding your mind for the last couple of years” But unfortunately that’s not
entirely true… <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What I can tell you for sure is two things: First, There are ways to
make it affordable, don’t make this statement your excuse for hiding the fear
of leaving behind the comfort of your routine! Second, your savings couldn’t be spent in anything better and more fruitful than <b>travelearning.</b> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Look at it as a life-investment that will
bring you great short-term and long-term profitability, which is not always
measured by the money sign $ but with million breath-taking landscapes,
countless experiences, major personal growth and huge professional networking
that can indeed translate into numbers by getting a better job, acquiring and
discovering new skills or developing a new business idea!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When speaking of studying abroad, there are some factors that will
make your trip more/less expensive; such as plain tickets, visa fees in case
you need one, cost of living including accommodation, food, transportation and
possibility of paid work, length of the learning experience and specific course
tuition fees. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">5 variables you need to analyse carefully and wisely, and the best
way to do so is by setting priorities… Lets say you can play with them
depending on your specific goals.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For example, If your budget is low and you need to learn another
language as a requirement for your job or university, then you should think in
investing more in the specific course tuition fees by booking an intensive
course in a very good, academically recognized institution for a shorter period
of time than you were initially fancying and perhaps in a small city where you
can enjoy a low living cost and not having much distraction to really focus on
your language skills. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On the other hand, if what you want is to also learn another
language but don’t have the time pressure and just want to have some time away
from home and do something different while you improve your language skills,
you can try programs such as Work and Travel or Au Pair, in which you will be
working full time and have a full immersion in the culture you are visiting,
which will eventually lead to learn the language. You will get paid, will have a guaranteed
place to live and at the same time you will be practicing the language!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Once you have defined those variables based on your interests and
the nature of that trip you want to take (but can´t entirely afford), there are
some sources that even though we know they exist, we think they are too good to
be true, just unreachable for us or we just never think about it, they did not come to my mind !... There is a
need to get creative in order to find ways of saving up while traveling.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The most common one is <b>Scholarships</b>;
there are several kind of them, some that we wouldn’t even believe they exist!
And even though you may consider yourself just an average student and not very
scholarship deserving, I will assure you there is something so unique and
interesting about you that will make you a great candidate for a scholarship,
which doesn’t always have to be academic. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Government Loans, Company sponsorship, volunteering, student
discount cards, ONG´s, Sharing accommodation, traveling off-season, house exchanging,
hostels, Kayak, Airbnb, couchsurfing, using your contacts, or just choosing a bike as a transportation mean!... These are just some of the tools that can make
your trip more affordable. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nowadays, it is getting easier than ever for us living in
such a connected world where information and possibilities are just there,
waiting!... Just put some time and effort on to it if you really want it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are several reasons to pack your bags and go see the world.. Even a small town near your city for the weekend, 3 months learning a language in a different country or a gap year traveling all over the 5 continents... No matter the type of trip you undertake, it will bring rewarding experiences and positive outcomes, it will be worth the effort...ALWAYS... It could be improving your self-confidence, getting to know yourself, bounding time with your partner, making your CV look better, eye tearing landscapes, decision maker motor, scape from reality or even finding out your hidden skills... Out of all good things traveling brings to your life, there is one that will always remain in your heart: THE PEOPLE, the locals, the other travellers, the new family you make, the lovers, the roommates the teachers, the reader next to you in the park, the old man waiting the bus next to you, the hostel receptionist, your host family, the barman in the bar. It is amazing how much you can learn from all the people you will meet, not only for the sake of meeting new people but for the fact that you will get to know different points of view, different perspectives of life, different ways to do things and think... Which can not be possible if you stay at home with your loved ones, which is also great! But the people you meet while travelling will teach you the beauty of diversity and it will broad your thoughts, your interests... On my personal experience, I can tell you about <b>Alina</b>, my German roommate in Mississippi 9 years ago... We shared a funny colourful bump bed... She liked Rock and I liked Reggaeton, She loved Spanish and I wanted to learn German, She would take a shower before me because I was always so lazy to wake up the first and She always reminded me of how much I was worth when I was crying for my highschool sweetheart... We were both eating machines and got drunk in Nutella at night...I found a second sister when I was not looking for it! She still is my beautiful German Sister.. Just this weekend she flew to London to see me and we spent the most amazing weekend together as if time hasn´t passed!... Now I also have a place to go in Germany!! And someone who will always give me a nice smile and a true advise when I need it... I can also tell you about <b>Michel </b> my Swiss friend I met in Australia who amazed me with his passion for helping others and his curiosity for new cultures....<b>Monty</b>, and American classmate during my summer course in Grenoble, France.. He was always ready to smile and make the most fun out of the most boring moment!... There will always be someone and the nicest thing is that you will always be benefited from it... You will always have places to stay for free in many parts of the world and when you travel to visit them, you will get to see that place as a local!... Also, you will find free language teachers and most importantly.. LIFE MENTORS! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I AM INLOVE WITH TRAVELING.. But, Who is not? Perhaps, the majority of people share this desire.. Some with a higher interest than others but we all reading this blog love to experience the new, the unseen to our eyes, the undiscovered... There are many other traveling blogs out there and as a start I will clarify that I am not the absolute expert and still have a lot of travelearning ahead of me to be done... So, Why am I writing about this? Just because it is my biggest passion, and will love to tell you all the useful information I know from my own experience not only as a travelearner but as a international education advisor, which was my role for 4 years in a Colombian based Company. </span></div>
