Travel By Design: Study or Teach Abroad

“I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.”
–– Mary Anne Radmacher
Study or Teach Abroad, either way you will get exposure across the globe and explore other lands and their unique cultures. Studying or teaching abroad allows students and adults to grow and develop as global citizens while gaining an education beyond the classroom. From the growing popularity of cultural exchanges, to gap years between high school and college, to earning academic credit as an international student, studying abroad can enrich one in ways that a classroom cannot.
As the world becomes more interconnected because of technology and social media, there is growing demand for teachers of all sorts to help people around the world understand each other through communication and cultural training. To study or teach abroad is an amazing way of exploring other places, having leisure while gaining or imparting education.
Moving beyond borders will be challenging but is a fruitful learning experience. The educational bodies and institutions are now very encouraging and open to people from other countries who wish to gain some education or teach their students. Education has moved beyond the local boundaries and is now looked upon as an opportunity to gain global exposure.
