‘I’m a Girl Gone International
because, I had to see life through
my own eyes.’

1.
When I received my scholarship to study in
Missouri, USA, I thought I had the ‘American
way of life’ all figured out. I’ve realized that
the best way to enjoy life abroad is to forget
any and all preconceived notions about a
place you are going to for the first time.
Not until you arrive with a clean slate
do you really start enjoying a once in a
lifetime experience.
