Traveling abroad gives
such an in depth look into the exciting aspects that foreign cultures have to
offer. Each destination presents a unique adventure with plenty to delve into.
As we embark upon our trip to Poland, I am excited to uncover the social norms
and progressive mindsets of the Polish people. Exposure to students my age will
give invaluable insight into how they think and operate, compared to the
relatively sheltered mindset many American students have. Comparing the two
ways of thinking and cultural aspects, specifically among the millennial age
group is an eye opening, learning experience that is unparalleled to learning
in a classroom. I am eagerly looking forward to hearing their perspectives and
views over the next week.
Outside of the students’
perspectives, I can’t wait to be exposed to the innovation in the media and
technology industry. Since I work in this industry, I am surrounded everyday by
the change and adaption that the U.S. market faces. But, as my job is focused
on the domestic market, I haven’t had much insight into where Europe and the
rest of the world sit in this marketplace. Because of this, I am thoroughly excited
to engage in conversation with the Polish innovators in this space.
Overall, this journey presents
many opportunities to learn, to interact and to participate in an adaptive and
impressive foreign market, opening the doors to invaluable knowledge and
insight that I would never have the opportunity to experience outside of this
study tour.
Na zdrowie!
