Four Steps to Jumpstart Your Adventure Abroad

 

Wanderlust.  It's that itch to just get up and go somewhere, anywhere; the restless feeling that there's something somewhere else you should be seeing or doing, even if you don't know exactly what that something is.

 

Everyone who works at World Endeavors understands this desire to get up, out, and away, and that's why we're here to help others do the same, with opportunities to work, study, and volunteer abroad.  We've compiled a list of four steps you can do right now to prepare for your time abroad.  (And planning well in advance is what the smart world traveler does - except, of course, in the case of last-minute adventures that lead to really great stories!)  Read on for our Four Steps to Jumpstart Your Adventure Abroad...

 

World Endeavors Study in London
Adia is Outreach Coordinator at World Endeavors.  This is Part Two of her story.  Read Part One.

In front of me was a sea of fast-moving people, automated gates leading into and out of the Tube, and long lines of impatient-looking people in front of a row of ten ticket machines that seemed to sport seven million buttons, aka seven million ways to screw up and hold up the line.  My face must have visibly crumpled, because a man on his way out of the Tube walked up, held out his ticket and said, "Here.  You can have this.  I'm done using it."

Featured Staff Member: Elizabeth Decker
Program Manager
 
Elizabeth grew up in a small town in Iowa ("Is this heaven?" "No, it's Iowa." - name that film!) and wanted to see more of the world and improve her Spanish, so she studied abroad in Spain for a semester while attending Iowa State, where she majored in International Studies and Political Science.  Elizabeth also has a Master's degree in Global Affairs.
 
When she's not working hard to make sure World Endeavors participants are receiving high-quality programming, Elizabeth is an outdoor buff who kayaks, camps, gardens, and also feeds her HGTV addiction.
 
One of Elizabeth's favorite travel memories is when she was looking at a Spanish brochure and couldn't figure out why the same information was printed twice, until she realized that one side was in English and the other side in Spanish.  "That's when I knew my Spanish had really improved!"
 
Her favorite thing about working at World Endeavors is the people.  She loves talking to coworkers about their travel experiences, sharing in an applicant's excitement when they're preparing for a trip, and then hearing all their great stories along the way.
