Tell us about your experience of studying abroad
In 2022, I completed a semester abroad at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, USA. Still to this day, it was the best five months of my life.
Whilst there, I met amazing people who will be friends for life, made memories that will last a lifetime and extended my knowledge about the events industry globally. My highlight of my study abroad experience would definitely have to be going on a cruise around the Bahamas during Thanksgiving break!
