Self proclaimed northern-boy loves the south
by: Lucas Tomhave - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Christchurch DE – University of CanterburyGrowing up in Northern Minnesota, I became accustomed to the dark and frigid winters. In the land of Ice hockey (sorry Canada), I instead picked up cross country skis and took to the trails hidden underneath the towering pines and oaks. This quiet winter wonderland of Scandinavian Americans is my home. So, when the option of studying abroad came to the table, naturally, I was interested in the Scandinavian destinations: Sweden, Norway, Denmark. Additionally, I had to study at a location where I ...
New Zealand...
by: Isabella Santana - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Christchurch DE – University of CanterburyNew Zealand is the most beautiful place I have had the opportunity to travel to. The mountains and coast are within a 3 to 4 hour drive of each other... The landscapes are otherworldly... gosh, honestly New Zealand holds such a special place in my heart. Studying abroad with IES was the best decision I have made thus far in my life. If you are a student looking to study overseas but still speak English, New Zealand is the best option in my opinion. If you love outdoor activities, NZ is the place...
Little corner of the world
by: Camille - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Christchurch DE – University of CanterburyProgram: Momma Eunice was such an amazing and sweet program director.

I knew I wanted to study abroad before I came to college. My sister studied abroad in London, and she told me that it would change my life. She said that no matter where I went, I would gain an amazing outlook on life from experiencing a different country and making new friends around the world.

Having been exposed to travel at a young age, I’ve always had an inclination for exploration. I often daydreamed about the faraway places I would travel, especially with an older brother who also spent time abroad during his college years. That, combined with a desire to experience a new physical setting as well as cultural environment, made studying abroad an obvious choice. Doing so during college was also very important to me, as I wanted to really get to know a place, rather than serve merely as a visitor or passerby.

I’ve always loved to travel and think cultural awareness is so important. I really wanted to experience living in a different country rather than just visiting because immersion brings so much more insight and changes in perspective.
