Major: BIO
Minor: SPA
Travel Tip: When I arrived for my semester abroad, I bought a small travel sized bottle of perfume that I solely used throughout the semester. Smell and memory have a very strong link, so not only did this made for a great souvenir, but now the scent will always remind me of my time abroad! Highly recommend!

Travel Tip: Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there! Whether that means connecting with locals or other travelers, the very best memories I’ve made while traveling have been because of the connections I’ve made with those around me in a new place. Say yes to every opportunity you can, even if it feels intimidating. Do it scared!
Josh Eatman

Major: POL, AAS
Travel Tip: Create community wherever you are! Traveling abroad can often feel overwhelming and isolating at times. But by putting yourself out there and meeting locals or other travelers like yourself, you will quickly realize that this big blue world of ours is really not that big. The most exciting adventures abroad are often the most mundane ones you find in grocery stores or bars, talking and connecting with others.
Hadassah Evans
she/her
Study Abroad Program(s): IES Cape Town Internship (Summer 2025) and WFU London Worrell House (Fall 2025)
Majors: SOC, AAS
Minor: HPA
Travel Tip: EVERYTHING in a new country is a new cultural experience, even when it’s something as simple as looking at the candy aisle in a grocery store and comparing it to products back home. As much as the large things matter- solo-traveling, making friends, and packing light- it’s important to take the time appreciate the mundane things too and be in the moment- the small details, such as what type of goods are available, is what’s most often misremembered in the future..
Ben Hobson
he/him
Study Abroad Program(s): CET Taiwan (Fall 2025)
Major: CHI, POL
Travel Tip: As fun as tourist traps can be, try to take the paths less traveled, chat with locals and learn what real daily life is like in your host country. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime exercise in empathy that can lead to lifelong friendships!

Travel Tip: Practice patience! This is a new experience for everyone, and there will be different priorities, budgets, and interests. Staying flexible and being able to adapt will serve you well, especially when there are inevitable bumps in the road! Some of my best memories comes from spontaneous changes 🙂
Evelyn Shatto

Travel Tip: When going abroad I’ve heard you have to say yes to everything or you won’t be making the most of the experience. My advice is to remember this is YOUR experience and it’s okay to say no to some things, you know yourself best so trust your instincts and say yes for YOU!
