The Backpack You Need Isn’t for Carrying Books
I spent a summer before college earning money working on a farm in France, and it helped change my life trajectory. But don’t think that the way to study abroad is necessarily to join a herd touring Rome or London. Instead, try teaching English in a small town in South Korea, Taiwan or Japan. Or volunteer in Nepal or Sierra Leone. (You can explore options at idealist.org and omprakash.org.)
Nice one
