I can’t believe I am writing my final blog post from Prague! These past two weeks have been the most incredible and unique experience of my life, and I’m beyond grateful for every moment.
For anyone who is considering travelling abroad, my biggest piece of advice is pretty simple: be open and try EVERYTHING. Being in a foreign country, there is so much to experience and explore and you may never get the same opportunity again. Even if something is intimidating or out of your comfort zone, you have to go for it! You may surprise yourself and love it. We were only in Prague for 2 weeks so there was absolutely no way I was going to turn down any opportunity and waste our precious time. Even though the sleep deprivation got to us sometimes, I was so grateful that I was able to maximize my time. For example during free time I loved to walk around and explore the city and do things like climb towers and try new restaurants.
Overall I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to experience this program. I loved all of the places we toured, activities we did, and companies we visited. That being said, the people I met on this program are what truly made this experience. I came into this program with 20 strangers and am leaving with 20 new best friends. That’s something I never expected, but it’s what I’m most grateful for.
Praha, thanks for everything. ❤
