One question from a recent survey done to people in their 40’s was: “What is the one thing that you regret the most from your college years?”
The overwhelming response was: “I wish I had taken the opportunity to travel or study abroad”
What’s our advice? DO IT!
It has never been easier to travel.
International experience has also become an essential issue when looking for a new job. Companies are demanding globally-minded people, that are in-tune with different cultures and societies.
So, what is they best way to achieve cultural sensitivity and awareness? To travel and to explore the world.
Thinking in studying overseas? you should take advantage of scholarships.
There are scholarships fund by universities and governments to undertake study abroad programs, international research, to work at private companies doing internships, and even to learn a new language.
So what if you don’t have access to a scholarship? Australia is one of the few countries where you can work legally whilst studying. You will be able to work 40 hours per fortnight. This will help you pay for all your living expenses.
Through Bedssi, you will be able to find different types of room options, so that you can stay at a great place within your budget. You can choose from a single room with private bathroom to a shared room with shared bathroom. It all depends on how much you are able to spend whilst you live overseas.
We believe that investing in travel is perhaps more important than investing in an education – Travel will provide you with extremely valuable experiences and lessons. You will also create life long friendships. You will learn from experiences and not from a textbook, or a lecture.
Through travel, you will see first-hand the things you’ve seen on pictures, video or search engines. You will start understanding other cultures, which will give you a global perspective and a strong independence.
As you can see, travelling during your university days is critical. Don’t wait. Choose a country (WHY NOT AUSTRALIA!), apply for a course, pack your bags and begin the best experience of your life!
Do all this before the opportunity disappears right before your eyes. Start travelling. Start feeling alive!
