When I studied abroad during my junior year in college, the only expectation I had was that I remain abroad until the program end-date. Of course, I had to maintain a decent grade point average. Beyond that, I shifted my mindset from high anxiety achievement to being fully present in each moment during the four-month program.
The journey was rewarding, filled with challenges and in the first week I learned I had to change an entire routine in order to adjust to what I observed about how life was lived. More than two decades later, this journey continues, featuring local life in a small village, not far from where I studied abroad. Studying abroad has the potential to change your life. And you can you can do this with Intention! I support groups of students studying abroad in the Greater Copenhagen area in Denmark, Europe.
