I'm studying abroad in Edinburgh for 6 months next year. Your videos have been very helpful, thank you!

[@shayabrezee1428]

You’re video is honestly so helpful❤ I’m 22 and been wanting to study abroad but have had my reservations because I felt too old for it lol

As an Irish person I think it's hilarious that you have the same opinion on RyanAir as many of us here in Ireland. We have a joke that "RyanAir will get you to your destination 10 minutes early......whether you're in one piece or not is another question". Planning on going to Napier, your videos are soo much help so thank you!!!!

[@katieblake]

Hahaha yes RyanAir is a special one 😂thanks for watching :)

My son is finishing freshman year of college now. And is doing study abroad for a short semester this summer. What advice do you have for parents as we try to support our kids (and miss them terribly)? Is there anything you’d suggest we do or don’t do to help him.
Thank you for these videos. Your honesty has helped me as a parent a great deal. I can’t put into words how much.

Oh my goodness thank you so much for this comment! I will hopefully address this in an upcoming video. Thank you for watching :)

Hi!!! I really appreciate your videos, they are soo helpful! I am going to study abroad, for a year, starting in August in Swansea, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. I’m super excited but also super nervous and I feel like I have all these expectations for how things will be there and how I will be there. Could you talk about expectations you had vs. reality please? In terms of culture shock (as an American), how the people are different, class structure is different, how much normal day things cost there.. things like that! Thank you so much !!!💖

[@mackenzieb4038]

How are you liking it so far in Swansea, Wales?!

[@jasusstories]

ahaha the making a cup of tea and watching your comfort show SAME XDDD

hi i love your videos! I'm studying abroad in London soon but my biggest fear is that i won't make any friends. it's gonna suck living alone and having no one to hang out with or talk to irl. is making friends abroad hard?

[@katerinapetrova245]

I want to study aboard in Iceland ! I have to years.. I got into the IB program but I need to get my gpa up because um.. mental health problems in freshman and half of sophomore year so it’s low. Any tips ? Should I study hard for the SAT to help my chances instead ?

Hi! I was just wondering is there certain banned items that you can't bring in your dorm room in Edinburgh? Thanks so much and love your videos!
