I have changed tremendously as a result of my experience living and traveling abroad. My confidence when it comes to traveling within another country, a major US city, or just traveling in general has sky rocketed now, because I have done it all in Europe. I have now used public busses, taxis, metros, underground tubes, many airports, and high speed trains to get around. Never before have I used so much public transportation and I did not think it would be as easy as it was. Reading maps and following directions is a breeze to me now, after I pretty much read one everyday abroad. My time management skills have become very efficient as a result of traveling abroad. I really enjoyed our busy schedule, but in the first week or so, it was a little over whelming. Once I became used to the routine, I began fitting in more things I did not think I had time for throughout the days. While in Europe, I have never been so busy from sun rise to sun set in my life. I am the kind of person that has to keep moving and stay busy so I loved it once I got used to it. I have changed in that aspect because, now, I have been doing and fitting more things in my day, then before the trip. I never thought I could do that. All in all, I highly recommend studying abroad during college. It opens you mind up and you will have memories you will remember for a life time.
