Sawyer Stender"Hey! My name is Sawyer and I’m a senior majoring in International Studies with minors in Political Science, Human Rights, and Religion. In spring 2019 I studied abroad at Udayana University in Bali, Indonesia. While there I attended traditional Hindu ceremonies, snorkeled among shipwrecks, and went waterfall trekking. My favorite thing about living in Bali was how completely different it was compared to my life in Omaha. I learned how to drive a motorbike on bustling streets, rice became a part of my every day diet, and the beach was a short 10 minute drive away. Studying abroad expands your heart, mind, and soul. I recommend to everyone I know to seize the opportunity of studying abroad because it truly is so enriching. " |

Mia Luong"I am Mia, a freshman studying Human Resources Management and I am from Haiphong, Vietnam. My first experience with studying abroad was Singapore and Malaysia. After that, I went to high school in the United States, and this is my fifth year in America as an international student. My favorite parts of studying abroad are meeting new people with different cultures and trying different foods. I was introduced to a lot of different lifestyles and it helped me look at everything in multiple perspectives. My future study abroad plans are to go somewhere in Europe or Australia." |

Annika Kuchar"Hi all! My name is Annika and I am a second year Biology/Pre-PA major with minors in Women’s and Gender Studies and Medical Humanities. In 2015 I traveled to India and had a mind-blowing experience. While there, I ate raw sugar cane, learned how to cross a road with cars coming at me from 6 directions, and rode an elephant! In the coming years, I hope to study abroad at Utrecht University and further expand my view on the world. I am so thankful for my time spent abroad, and I hope everyone has the chance to experience a unique culture like I did. Happy travels!" |

Guillermo Herrera"Hello, my name is Guillermo Herrera this is my third year I am majoring in International studies with a concentration of global strategic studies and minoring in Political science. This past year 2019 I study abroad in Surabaya, Indonesia during my sophomore year. It was an experience that was more than worth it, becoming so much more valuable in the long run. As I reflect on it, I’ve learned to become more courageous and ambitious to get out more, and better expressing who I am. It is truly grateful for this privilege that I’ve gained and look forward to the next opportunities that come." |

Nina Ong"I am a junior studying computer science here at UNO. In the spring of 2019, I studied abroad at Toyo University in Tokyo. My favorite part about studying abroad was learning about how Japanese culture and life was actually like and the differences between them and the U.S. I'd love to study abroad again whether it be a short-term FLP or a longer exchange program. If I don't end up studying abroad before I graduate, then I'd love to travel to Japan again or somewhere else." |

Isabelle Wostoupal"Hi! My name is Isabelle and I am a senior studying Graphic Design with a minor in Marketing. In the spring of 2018, I studied abroad at SACI in Firenze, Italia. While being there, I was inspired daily by all the beautiful art that surrounded me. Shortly after I got back, I was heading off to Sydney, Australia for the spring of 2019. One of my favorite things about the time I spent in Australia was the people I met. Having the opportunity to study abroad has changed me for the better, and I am so grateful I put myself out there to go. I loved it so much that I am planning to head back to Australia after I graduate!" |
