Episode 3: Passport to Perspective – Why Study Abroad Changes Everything

Ever wonder what’s really on the other side of a study abroad program besides cute pics and a passport stamp? In this episode, Mia gets real about how international travel, especially for students and adult learners can be a game-changer for your growth, confidence, and connection to the world. With a mix of humor, hip-hop quotes, and honest storytelling, Mia shares why she’s encouraging her young nephew to explore the world through education even though she hasn’t studied abroad herself. She dives into what it really means to be a global citizen, how to push past fear (and FAFSA), and the unexpected life lessons travel teaches you, like budgeting on a disrespectful exchange rate and finding “home” in unfamiliar places. Whether you're 18 or 48, introverted or adventurous, this episode is your reminder that it’s never too late to roam with purpose. Tune in and start building your own passport to perspective. 🎧 Perfect for: • First-gen and adult learners • Solo travelers with big dreams • Anyone curious about study abroad • Future global citizens with anxiety (and ambition)
