This top 10 list is such a great composition of information that will be so useful for my trip to South Africa. My last study abroad experience, I travelled alone and didn't do any research. That in itself probably caused my anxiety and discomfort with my journey. Though this uncertainty fueled my drive to explore, I am grateful this Maymester is different and I already know what to expect. I'm excited to see these lists in person once I arrive. For instance, I want to see the post-apartheid effects on privilege and power, the progression of women's and LBGT rights, as well as actually crossing things off the bucket list! I'm excited for what's in store and I now feel prepared to grow, learn, and explore!
Excited to travel with you, Faith! I really dig your honesty and I'm glad you feel more confident about our upcoming journey. I've found that trips
ReplyDeletereally bond people together in ways you don't always expect, so I'm excited.
Yeah research about South Africa has definitely boosted my confidence as a student there. I have a better understanding of what to expect so I can totally relate.
