From Italy to France: The Story of a Wayward Son Turned Wayward Traveler \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Studying abroad can be the single greatest experience in one\u2019s life. It presents many interesting and unique learning opportunities, growing opportunities and challenging yourself and your beliefs. Over the course of this presentation, I will explain and demonstrate what life was like for me during the three weeks I was abroad. I was challenged in many different ways, having Asperger\u2019s and social anxiety issues certainly presented many extra challenges abroad that made for a fun, enriching and in some moments a more stressful experience. \u00a0I will give you some fundraising tips\/strategies, pros\/cons, things to avoid (i.e., tourist traps), fun facts and places you should visit while abroad. Lastly, the struggles one could have with reverse culture shock which affected me more than cultural shock. <\/span><\/p>\n
