    Absolutely agree. If I could go back in time I’d find some way to visit Asia and Africa in my 20s, maybe involving working as an ESL teacher (as many of my friends did this throughout Asia).

    I was lucky enough to be an exchange student in High School in Western Europe and do some traveling in college in South America. After that, I wasn’t able to afford travel until I was in my 30s. So for anyone still in High School reading this, be sure to apply to any study abroad programs now!

      I had the chance to go to Wales for a semester during college, but was too nervous. In retrospect, that would’ve been cool as shit.

      We had some exchange students from their end of the program and they were all lovely folks.

        Dang, you really should have. Wales is one of the few places I’ve been to in recent years that I hope to visit again. It was really lovely, as were the people. Please go if you get the chance.
