Traveling always promises heaps of new intangible knowledge that can be learned, and that is the main reason I travel. The first few photos are me with my classmates. These classmates are all from my two intensive Chinese classes I took while in Taiwan, these people not only became my friends, but helped me learn so much more Chinese than I ever could have back home. Taking classes abroad can be tricky, but these particular classes were both completely taught in Mandarin, helping me gain an entire new perspective on life and how different one can become once becoming so in touch with another culture via language. Finally, the last two photos are photos with my some of my best friends while being abroad. This is also an intangible gain because they helped me further my understanding of the world through different countries’ perspective. As for my personal goals, I think I being abroad has helped me realize that I want to travel even more, and learn more languages because that is what truly can help you have a well-rounded understanding of a different culture.
