“While abroad, I have had opportunities to mature and grow professionally. This experience has also opened my eyes to possibilities that I never seriously considered before, like living or working abroad for a period of more than just a few months. Being in Budapest for an entire semester has shown me that ‘home’ doesn’t necessarily have to be in the US. I have appreciated the process of mastering a new location, from figuring out the grocery store and restaurant scenes near my apartment to exploring the public transportation system and important locations around the city.”
