Travel can be expensive and intimidating. However, there are so many wonderful opportunities and ways to see your own city, state, country, and even other parts of the world. There are volunteer events, job opportunities, study abroad programs, and so much more! And like I said in the first journal, never be afraid to ask questions. The Gilman Scholarship was a significant source of funding for my study abroad, and I discovered the scholarship through a conversation with one of my advisors.
Shukraan ("thank you" in Arabic) for taking part in my journey! I hope you all were able to learn something new during this exchange and feel inspired to continue learning more about your world. I wish you all the best as you begin your next journey, whatever that may be.
All the best,
Kristen
