Welcome to our first solo episode hosted by me (Lucy)! Monday marks one year of me leaving for my study abroad semester in Ireland, so I decided that while Sally has a busy week with classes starting, I would give y'all all the info you might need before studying abroad! I touch on expectations to have/not to have, trip planning, packing, how to make the place your own, and so much more. Additionally, if you are considering studying abroad, I discuss the why it is such a valuable experience and things I would consider when selecting a location and program. I hope some of you find this helpful, or if you have studied abroad, I hope that you can relate. Let me know if I missed anything! Or maybe this is just a fun listen! Regardless, I'm wishing you all a smooth start to September. Hope to see y'all next week with Sally back on the pod!
