Traveling when you’re young is very important because it allows you to see the world from a different perspective. Not everything you see on TV is factual; it’s better to see the world through your own eyes. Visiting other countries can also help you to appreciate what you have in your own country. Traveling gives you the opportunity to have various life changing experiences, while eating great food.
Take a look at the list of places I recommended for to go to.
If you are a big chicken lover, get ready for your month to water, because Nando’s has the best Peri – Peri style chicken ever ! Nando’s is a Portuguese style restaurant in London. Since I’ve been in London I have been a repeat customer for weeks. I only order the Chicken thighs with a side of spicy rice, corn, mashed potatoes, and Wild Herb sauce. The amount of flavor in this meal is pure heaven. Nando’s special Wild Herb sauce gives the meat an extra kick. The meat is marinated in a lemon herb, and pepper. Hands down the best thing I’ve eaten in London. If your ever in London or near any of there other locations be sure to check them out!
Being away is something I have been wanting for a long time now. Planning for things and actually being able to do it is completely different. Arriving at the airport is when reality set in. It’s a completely different experience you experience, it doesn’t compare to going away to school for the first time. The major differences that you experience is the culture shock, language barriers, money conversion, and of course the different people you encounter.
Now that I have completed my first week I must say being alone in another country away from your family and your social norms, makes you appreciate everything you have and the skills you learned. TRAVELING forces you to put everything to the test. It’s important to be smart, open-minded but still very cautious and safe. Before arriving, I did my share of research on studying abroad and everything I needed to know about coming to London. A lot of websites and blogs have left a lot of details out. Pervious study abroad students also failed to mention how school systems actually operate overseas. Majority only talk about what to pack, what to be aware of , and where they traveled to on the weekends. For a study abroad program talking about school should be the MAIN thing they talk about, and also provide tips to help you succeed.
Stepping off the plane was me stepping into the real world, where I was forced to grow up and be an adult. The university did not provide any transportation from the airport to the school, so I had to follow subway directions and walk to the school on my own. My first few days in London have not been what I imagined it to be. My expectations have not been met. I hate to complain but I have not had the best first couple of days. I guess I am feeling homesick. I noticed that the group of girls that came together mainly stick together, which is good and bad. The girls formed a clique, and I feel like an outsider. I do tend to fade into the background of a large group, however I feel like I made a lot of progress in Cortland to not be invisible. I don’t want to go backwards. I am loving my progression I am a lot happier and comfortable with myself. Although I am able to do my own thing in Cortland and go out alone, I don’t really want to go out alone here especially since things are not that close to the campus and I am in a foreign country. Stepping out of my comfort zone is all apart of this entire experience.
