Kealie Mardell on life in California

Introduce yourself – Where are you from vtech storio spellen? Where in the world are you currently?

I was born and raised in Hertfordshire, England and have just returned from a nine month study abroad experience in Long Beach, California hoe ebooksen gratis.

 

Tell us about your first trip abroad herunterladen? What first attracted you to a life abroad?

My earliest memory of travelling abroad was to Florida. I’ve always been interested in travelling and for as long as I can remember I had planned to study abroad in America mp3 downloaden firefox. California especially held an appeal, being close to Los Angeles and still enjoying the sun soaked beaches was ideal!

 

How do you fund yourself when travelling? 

I funded my study abroad experience by saving for two years before travelling, as a student visa does not allow you to work whilst abroad lizenzfreie cartoons kostenlos downloaden ohne anmeldung. I also still received student finance which helped cover some of the costs.

 

Your favourite place you have been to? And why? 

Southern California has become my favourite place, with interesting people, beautiful locations and thriving sub-cultures mozilla firefox german. There were also great opportunities to travel, with San Francisco and Las Vegas topping my list.

 

What advice would you give to other people looking to travel herunterladen?

Spend time exploring the different options available, and make sure you decide on a location that offers everything you want from your experience.

What is left on your bucket list for you to accomplish/see? 

My heart is still in California and I’m planning to move back as soon as possible minecraften chip. Whether that is for a post-graduate degree, or for a career, I’m determined to find a way. I’ve found the place where I want to live and won’t let anything stop me from making it happen.

 

What is the biggest difference to life overseas compared to life at home?

It was amazing how many things could be similar, yet completely different compared to home. From small details to the bigger changes, there was a different feel and lifestyle in California which gave me more of a sense of home than England ever has. I can’t pin point exactly what it was, but there are so many things calling me back and my time there is far from over.
