Travelling with Global Summer Academy has been an experience that taught me more than I could have ever imagined. Through this program, I gained not only knowledge in my academic fields but also valuable life lessons that will stay with me for years to come.
One of the most important things travelling with Global Summers Academy taught me was the importance of cultural awareness and adaptability. Visiting different countries and interacting with people from diverse backgrounds allowed me to see the world from new perspectives. I learned to appreciate the uniqueness of each culture, and I now have a deeper understanding of how amazing the world truly is. Whether it was trying new foods, or simply talking to locals, every experience helped me grow more open-minded and adaptable.
Also, travelling with Global Summers Academy showed me more resilience. The challenges that come with being in a foreign place, from language barriers to unfamiliar customs, pushed me to think critically and find solutions quickly. This experience taught me to embrace new situations and view it as an opportunity for growth.
Overall, the Global Summers Academy program has taught me that travelling is not just about seeing new places, but about learning from them. The lessons I’ve learned about culture, resilience, and self-awareness, are lessons that will help me far beyond the program and will shape my view for years to come.
