this got rid of my anxiety, I'm leaving for sydney in 5 hours
How was it? Haha
Wow
pk pk how are you now?
And this is how the life of pk pk ended .
So how’s that working for you?
I can totally understand this "travelling bug". I'm from France and I went on Erasmus in Groningen in my third year of my Bachelor's studies. Then, I didn't want to go back to France so I moved to Ireland where I worked as a French Language Assistant and as an au-pair. And finally, I moved to Germany last summer to re-start my studies. Now I think I'm gonna stay here as I moved here with my Italian partner whom I met two years ago during my Erasmus. Living abroad was one of the best choices of my life.
hey, i wanna know more about your french language assistant in Ireland please as I see it as my potentional future career
This video might awaken my motivation to study abroad
I am a person who think degree is useless, but I agree with everything she said
"Studying abroad is not about studying", but finding yourself indeed!
"Throw away the books."
You got me hooked👌🏻
Study abroad is one of my biggest dream..
You should try and make it happen! What's stopping you?
@@planetochampagne my English skill still not very good but I'm still working on it and hope someday I can make it happen.
David Sihombing sometimes there are international programs! Definitely something to look into 😊
This is a very attainable dream. Look at the university you are enrolled in's study abroad program and whether or not they have an appropriate one for your interests.
@@planetochampagne my family, they don’t want me to go because I’ll be by myself, I feel selfish about that, but it’s one of my biggest dreams
I studied abroad in France my junior year of college and had such an amazing time! Not saying it was always easy, but I learned so much and grew so much as a person. In fact, I decided my time abroad wasn't finished yet, and I just moved back to France! I'm posting all about it on my channel if anyone is interested :)
I'm moving to england on monday. to study Wildlife conservation. it's scary but exciting.
JEbLC their fauna is trying to kill them
I love England! Where about are you? How's it going so far?
"No guts no glory" MEIJER, Marina.
Indeed!
Leaving in May to London to study for three months. Can’t wait!!
I'm leaving in September for England. I can't wait.
How do u like England?
So , How did it go?
Liked this so much!! She seems to be so honest and what she says is just what I want in my life!
a very good speech, understandable and inspirational, a student who is from China now is studying in U.S.A
I want to go study in the UK and get bachelor's degree there but since I think I won't meet the requirements I want to work harder and I think this might just be my new motivation.
There you go! Motivation is half the battle!
I’m in the same situation as yours now and it’s really hard to always keep the motivation around. Did you make it?
In 23 days I will be following my heart and my dream of experiencing things that are out of my comfort zone. Thank you, Ma’am!
How is it going so far?
How did it go?
@@planetochampagne hard at first but worth the sacrifices
@@japjotsingh3266 dreams achieved!
Really want to study abroad!
I do now a study abroad in Germany. Which is coming to an end. I've grown a lot, since During covid I didn't really grow because of me not able to be a "student". Now I was dorms, bring uncomfortable, with German roommates, I learned so much.
So much that I want to go to do my masters abroad. Not because I need the degree, but for the expierence. And self Growth. I am Asian, and I never thought of "personal growth", but this is my time to grow. One day I'll be 40-50 years, and then I'll wished I had made these expierence. In top of that, I would have a nice masters degree haha.
Currently studying abroad in the Netherlands , gave me something to think about 😄
Marinda Boshoff even I'm leaving for Netherlands this September for studies.
Honestly, I'm scared.
I'm studying abroad in Netherlands this september as well, nervous but also excited to jump in with both feet
@@owenduke8 I'm going this September, how did you guys find your first year?
Just got my acceptance letter to study in Netherlands and although I’m excited I’m so scared at the same time.
Interesting im leaving tomorrow to study aborad in rotterdam! Excited and nervous
Been here in japan on an exchange for 2 days and I'm having a good time. Met a couple of people both international and local students. It's going to be hard for the next few days or weeks (paper work in Japan is off the charts :/) but at I'll get used to life here after awhile. Can't wait to sharpen my japanese with the locals.
Yes, even though everything may not be great. This experience is something you wouldn't trade for the world. Japan in particular is so rich in culture and the people there and their way of life is so different and eye opening, especially for a young person.
Just got back from a 2 weeks summer school program in Thai!
Terimakasih from Indonesia!
That sounds amazing! How was it?
It's about developing your character!!
Ms Marina give it to more motivation about the study abroad and god wiling next will arrangement my documents to study abroad thank you your speech is very meaning for me actually I'm in the situation i need
I really want to study abroad. I'm from South Africa & looking to do my honours/masters in another country. I have been having a hard time finding an institution that can help me.
It was just beautiful...
I wanna do this ! sounds great !! I won't. miss my mama thank goodness for facetime! !
Never knew there were Ted Talks being held in Delft, wow.
Good job mom!!!
From Bangladesh, i went to Netherlands for my Masters. Best time of my life making life long friends from so many different countries. After completing my Ph.d from Penn State - NY became my home teaching at SUNY and now started my own non profit again back in Bangladesh . i wouldnt be me if I didn’t take that step to apply for the Netherlands scholarship program which transformed me completely.
I'm a fresh high school grad from Bangladesh. I did everything for getting scholarship but now when it's the tym for applying I'm feeling guilty as my parents are old, they've no one who'll take care of them, will it be selfish if i left them just for my education who actually brought me up in the most wonderful way Alhamdulillah?
@@pandabeb there’s nothing to feel guilty about. If you get the funding and have a chance to study abroad - you can take it and then return back to your parents after school
i am very excited to study abroad in Latvia soon!!!
I want to study aboard it’s kinda hard where because I wish to travel all over Europe like England, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and other countries across the globe.
thank you
Thank you
Here is another rationalisation: "meeting life" abroad! you can "meet life" in your country, too - just look more closely at the reality, experiment and meet other people.
Gracias. I went to Ecuador
Maria Bonita take me with you
I'm going to Ecuador in 5 days! I hope your experience was incredible.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ No guts, no glory!
Would you say taking the second year of high scool is a bit early though? I'm about to do a year in Berlin, even tough I know I'll study in Germany avfer highschool (in 2 years)
i'm a first year college and I want to study abroad but I don't know how
Nice vid, now im going to brazil!
I was able to culture exchange in Pakistan for a summer, studied in Turkey for a semester and am hoping to finish my undergraduate studies abroad in Japan (long story LMAO)
I do believe it's so important to see the world and come to your own conclusions. One thing i realize is that i don't want to have regrets, and i don't want to come to conclusions until every part of me has been challenged. If the door opens, then go :) if not, then that's fine too. just go and allow yourself to be challenged and uncomfortable (with reason tho of, LOL)
Do you enjoy Japan? Thinking about traveling abroad there
I m studying in Australia give some thing to experience
My goal I am striving to rn is to get to America and study there. I want to go to Harvard and go to medical school there. I know I can get there I will get there
I'll come back to this video when i'm abroad i hope i'll do it
Me too and yuyu with me ❤
Did you go?
I badly wanna study abroad. I wanna grow as a person and I think I can get growth by leaving home for a few years.
Definitely! Obviously, it's been harder to achieve this past year, but here's hoping more students can get back to studying abroad very soon! Where are you planning to go?
where can I get the transcript?
I'm studying abroad here in Malaysia, while this place truly challanges me but the truth is ur experience also depends on the ppl living in those countries. My peers are not all interested in International students or knowing n sharing cultures...let's forget about finding true love lol
I need an opinon of where I should go. I was thinking maybe Korea, Japan, Or somewhere in the U.K, which do you think would be best and why? Or do you have any recommendations of other places that would be nice to study abroad?
JustX Shadows depends on what you wanna do I’m going to France because it’s known for art schools!
Yes, I need to know some more info about you! Where are you from? What are you looking for in a study abroad experience?
Or do multi country study Abroad experience
It is always fun to study and live abroad... but marrying someone who resembles you culturally makes things so much easier.
That's an interesting point!
I want to study abroad but I'm not sure if my parents will ever agree to it..
Brianna ღ Same here pal!
Me too 😪

Research a program or group to go with and scholarship opportunities so you can get financial benefits and prepare to answer their questions about safety and money, those are the two biggest issues. But you can do it!
Ask them if you’re not sure. I wasn’t sure either but was surprised to hear them say they think it’s a good idea and want me to do it.
Thank you ,
I am applying for an university in afghanistan now
😂
I'm applying for a homestay program for high schoolers mainly this winter. But my English is already like B2 or possibly C1. Do you think it's worth money? I hear the average English ability of the participants is usually A1. I'll be using the subsidy but it'll still be more than 4000 dollars for two weeks.
But its quite expensive studying abroad... Even its my dream to study abroad in japan...
There are scholarships and financial aid, ask your study abroad office.
I want to study in Europe, considering Belgium as a country to study in. I love traveling and I dream of moving out of my comfort zone and studying abroad. If anyone here studies in Europe , which country would you recommend ? Also, if anyone's from Belgium, how are the universities there?
I would recommend going to the Netherlands! Most bachelor and master programs in English here
I studied abroad in France and now I'm currently living here. What exactly are you looking for? What do you want to study?
I’m Canadian and studied abroad in Denmark and I loved it!
I want to study abroad sooooo bad but my parents told me a straight no and that I was out of my mind :/
Sseraphim don't listen to them, you will be an adult anyways so they can't tell you what to do
Same
I agree
I am a Malaysian and i have just finished year one for finance and econometrics. However, ive gotten an offer letter from ANU canberra. If i go for ANU i have to repeat my degree, is it worth it?
Nope but I graduated from Monash locally instead as the fees are much cheaper. Currently im employed as a Prop trader in an investment bank
I am a Pakistani in China, by studying abroad there is no doubt i learned alot
do you study in chinese
@@MasterPandaBearChannel no, i am phd student. Undergrade is in Chinese
she's cool
Is it ok to study abroad at the age of 27 or 28? I'm really afraid..
hyunhak Im Yes, do it! I'm 29 years old and I'm going to study abroad at Swansea University in the spring semester. Take that leap!! Good luck!
@@rrrghyourehot good luck to you also. Thank you for giving me an encouragement. God bless you and your journey to your dream
Alix Rodriguez hey there! I'm currently applying to Swansea for fall 2019. I'm quite nervous about it. Would it be ok to have a chat about it?
Age is but a number! Do it!
Ur afraid at 27 years old????? Im 18 and im considering this srsly

Does anyone know, is it allowed to use this video on my website? It won't be the main content, of-course. But I am really impressed with what she said and want to embed it on my website. Because it's relevant to my website content. Thank you in advance.
hey old tedx vid!
I’ve the chance to study abroad after I take the foundation year in my country.. but I’m really scared idk if it’s the right choice
Did you ever decide?
@@thestudyabroadspecialist yeah, I decided to wait for now. Maybe I'll do my masters abroad but I still csnt decide what to do for college lol I tried engineering this year but it wasn't my cup of tea
@@rawanwalaa8325 Nice!

Labib idk whether we'll be destined or not but i really want to meet with u while studying abroad, coz my guts is telling me that u r my soulmate in sha Allah amin let's see.

Why is this scattered CV called "living life to the fullest?"" She could have stayed in the Netherlands and could have become happy, too - you never know.
Hahaha, well I live also in NL and it can be quite boring to stay at one place if one likes adventure, new experiences and international environments.
没字幕看个卵

Did you end up going?
@@georgianac1147 dangg did i really say that..? well y knoww..end up working 24/7 ahahahhahhaha ,
Kto też z e-lekcji?
Interesiting
Are you thinking about study abroad?
Which one should i go to?SpainUSABrazil
P.s i live in england.
Come to my country: Brazil. Hahaha
Cauane Oliveira that's the main one that i want to go but i've heard that there's a lot of violence over there. is that true?
Unfortunately yes. Here the public safety network does not work as it should. Thefts e murders are recurrent, especially in big cities.
Sierra K spain is rarelt spoken of. so hows it cliche??
Cauane Oliveira I’m from the USA and don’t recommend anyone to come study here. Stick to Europe or South America
Studying abroad is very, very expensive. How can I afford it without becoming in debt?
I’m Canadian and studied abroad in Denmark and I found it to cost around the same amount as living in Canada. There are cheaper countries you could go to.
It depends on where you plan to go and how long you plan to stay. It can be very expensive, but there are many opportunities to find scholarships, grants, and low-cost loans.

riccia888 DEFINITELY NOT
Twenty One Shini Chemical Crybabies Xox why not??
Why not!? I think going anywhere different can be interesting. Even just another city in your own country. New experiences are new experiences !
Her accent is American or British???
