Travel is about meeting new people. My semester abroad taught me that if you travel halfway around the world, you can make friends with all sorts of people who go to the same college as you.

Studying abroad showed me that Europeans have a real work-life balance. In a typical day in Europe, you wake up, eat lunch, go to a museum, and then hit the town. Nobody is stressed about their job. That’s the benefit of a strong welfare state. Everyone is young and has lots of free time.

Europeans always wear high-quality shoes. On an average day of guided tours, museum visits, and pub crawls, a European can walk over ten miles (sorry, kilometers!). All that walking keeps Europeans thinner than us Americans.

Europe has better restaurants than the United States. Nobody cooks at home in Europe, because there are so many fun restaurants. Dining out is more affordable in Europe because everyone uses their dad’s credit card.
