Université Paris IV Paris - Sorbonne

This wasn't the only meaningful travel abroad experience that I have undergone. It only happened to be the longest one, but living in France, combined with living in other countries, learning their languages and working on interesting projects has definitely shaped how I view my skills and what I have to contribute to various communities. You can't predict what these skills will be when you are abroad but once you've travelled and taken time out to immerse yourself in another culture, in another set of values, in other kinds of work, you WILL have skills, whether they be simply better coping mechanisms or the ability to translate medical documents in three languages, these skills give you a better understanding of the world.
