What if one trip could help you discover what you're capable of?Three Texas State University students traveled to Scotland for a three-week education abroad program at Queen Margaret University. They arrived without knowing one another or exactly what to expect.In this episode, I pass the microphone to three Texas State University students studying in Scotland. Libby Sanchez, Sarah Hervey, and Kinbe Perez share what they are learning—not only in class, but about themselves.Libby, Sarah, and Kinbe arrived in Scotland without knowing anyone else on the 3-week trip.  They didn't know what to expect.  The time abroad challenged them to navigate a new country, try unfamiliar things, and become more confident. Libby discovered a more adventurous side of herself. Sarah found that studying abroad offered something a vacation could not: time to learn, grow, and form real connections. Kinbe gained confidence traveling independently and talking with new people—skills she will carry into her career.Lessons Learned Take initiative, even when you are unsure.Fear could lead to growth. New environments can bring out strengths you did not know you had.Studying abroad is about more than academics. It builds confidence, independence, and connection.Meaningful learning happens outside the classroom.About the StudentsLibby Sanchez is a Digital Media Innovation major at Texas State University. She is a talented photographer who thrives in a new environment.Sarah Hervey is a psychology major with a minor in religious studies.

At 20 years old, Queen Margaret University student Laura Stevenson traveled from Scotland to Martha's Vineyard for a six-month study abroad internship. At the time, it felt like nothing more than a graduation requirement. She had no idea she was living through a defining moment.In this episode of Stories of Change & Creativity, Laura reflects on the experience that changed her life.  And she didn't recognize it until years later. Together, we explore how defining moments sometimes reveal their true value - in the rear view mirror.Laura shares how living and working in the United States helped build her confidence and independence. It wasn't until she began helping students prepare for their own international experiences that she realized the greatest value of study abroad wasn't the work itself—it was the personal growth that came from stepping outside her comfort zone.So far, Laura has traveled to nearly 50 countries and serves as an International Officer at Queen Margaret University.  In this role, she helps students recognize the life-changing value of international education while they're still living it.As I listened to Laura's story, I was reminded that defining moments rarely jump up and grab us. Sometimes we only understand their significance when we look back and connect the dots. I certainly can relate.In This EpisodeWhy Laura almost overlooked one of the most important experiences of her lifeHow a study abroad internship became a defining momentWhy reflection is essential to personal growthHow international experiences prepare us for life—not just careersLaura's passion for travel, including why Paris captured her heartDid you enjoy this episode? send me a text!

Educational exchange is a primary way for American and Chinese people to interact with each other, creating opportunities to build common ground. However, both the United States and Chinese governments are hindering and restricting educational exchange opportunities by limiting interactions and complicating bureaucratic processes. Despite these hurdles, opportunities persist for U.S.-China collaboration, especially in the nonprofit and business sectors. Can educational exchange between the United States and China stay afloat amid changing U.S.-China relations?  Rosie Levine joined us on March 9, 2026 to explain why educational exchange between the United States and China is important.

But behind every offer letter, visa approval, and university admission lies a powerful truth — your success abroad is not decided only by your academics, but by your financial habits, mindset, and daily discipline.In this deeply practical and eye-opening episode of The Kapeel Gupta Career PodShow, we break down the real financial reality of studying abroad — beyond just tuition fees.From managing living expenses and hidden costs to understanding currency fluctuations and emotional spending, this episode is designed to help students and parents move from confusion to clarity.You will discover why most students struggle financially not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack structure and awareness in their money habits.Backed by real-world insights, government data, and global financial frameworks, this episode also introduces a unique perspective — how behavioural patterns, emotional triggers, and even daily discipline practices like structured handwriting (graphotherapy) can support better financial decision-making.This is not about restricting your lifestyle. This is about building freedom, stability, and confidence in a new country.

Zeke and Abby studied abroad with Living and Learning International Nichole student taught abroad with STAGE (Interaction International "It gave me 'family' in another culture and another location, and I think people are [...] what you hold onto the most with study abroad." - Zeke  "That's the difference [from] if you are just going on vacation or if you do a semester at sea and you're bouncing around to all of these different places. With study abroad, you're living somewhere, and that makes all of the difference in the world." - Abby "God, open my eyes and break my heart for what breaks Yours; help me to see and speak into things as You see fit." - Kylie "When I studied abroad, God really confirmed in my heart that yes, missions is something [He was] inviting me into." - Kylie "Go in with an open mindset and hands open to what the Lord has for you overseas – and when you come back, what your next steps look like." - Nichole "There's going to be something that is difficult or inconvenient because you are not living in your home country and most likely not speaking your language. So, [lean] into that because I believe that that is where the Lord is going to grow you in that pressing. It feels hard, but then it turns into something beautiful and the Lord develops and grows you in a beautiful way." - Nichole "I know that He's with me and He sees me, even when people back home don't or when people here don't see what I'm feeling emotions towards back home, He 'gets' all my areas of life, all of the countries I've been to, He understands all of it." - Nichole "This is uncomfortable, but I'm going to say yes and I'm going to do it [...] Be mindful of being open to the 'yes' and being open to what God has for you because some of the sweetest memories are in those moments." - Abby "We want to see this place and really live here." - Zeke "God has created all of these cultures that are so beautiful and so unique, and [we get] to experience them and see His heart for those people." - Kylie "Where has God given gifts in this culture?

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

If you've ever spent any significant amount of time in Italy or around native Italians, you will soon have discovered: Italians are loud. A recent trip to the peaceful Austrian Alps, in which she was confronted with lots and lots of Italians on vacation in a place outisde of Italy, brought home this reality to Tiffany more than ever before. Turns out, when Italians are in a non-Italian context, they seem even louder. Is there a genetic reason Italians talk more loudly, or is it simply because they are used to living in a loud place and necessarily modulate their voices to match? Or is there a deeper reason? Also, as an expat whose dream was once to live with and among Italians, how long does it take before your chosen people start to get on your nerves? ------------------------------------- COME TO ROME WITH US: Our third annual Bittersweet Life Roman Adventure is all sold out for 2025!
