This study abroad experience was my first step to live on my own. Which meant taking care of everything from my nutrition, health, and more on my own. Fortunately, I had a roommate who loved to cook healthy meals. It’s important to remember to keep yourself nourished, and eat a healthy diet, especially when visiting a foreign country. Lack of sleep and improper nutrition could potentially lead to sickness, and prevent you from enjoying your trip abroad to the fullest.
