Departing from thirty degree Australian heat and arriving in minus two

degree, rain filled and snow covered Vancouver I could not have been

happier. My name is Merryn and I am a second year Bachelor of

Tourism Management student from the University Of Western Sydney,

Australia. I have been studying at Capilano for the spring and fall

semesters and I absolutely love it here. I’ve made friends from all over

the world and learnt a lot about Canada and myself. I’ve realized that I

need to take life less seriously and just say ‘yes’ to the opportunities that

present themselves, I am only here for the year so why not?

For me the biggest challenge of my exchange was having all of my

friends from the spring semester leave and me still being here until new

students arrived for the fall. Luckily for me I have made great friends in

both semesters. As I am studying Tourism Management my hopes are

that my experiences studying abroad will be useful for the career I

choose to take, I don’t know exactly what I want to do yet but travelling

will definitely be a part of my chosen career. Through studying

abroad I have broadened my horizons, met great people and had

experiences I will never forget, I would recommend an exchange to

anyone looking to have a year as fulfilled as my own.

TYLER AT THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA DURING HIS CHINA FIELD STUDY TOUR

TYLER BREICHER

In May of 2012 I got the opportunity to take part in an amazing, life

changing opportunity, the China Field Study. Three weeks in China

was just what the doctor ordered in the middle of my quest for

education. While in China I made some amazing friends and we got

the opportunity to travel to places that most people only dream of

seeing. The Great Wall was definitely the highlight of my trip. At one

point I was all alone sitting on the wall just looking over the edge into

a valley filled with trees just enjoying the peace, which is something I

do not feel on a regular basis as a full time student. Hiking the Great

Wall, learning about culture, take amazing pictures and spend time

with new friends, priceless.

To top it all off I met a girl. She helped me land an opportunity to

return to China and work as an Intern for two months. I got a job with

Ipsos, a multinational company with an office in Guangzhou. The

opportunity to go live and work in China opened my eyes to a new

way of life, culture, and business. I feel this experience has helped

me grow as a person, helped me gain a competitive advantage in

future work opportunities. The China Field Study has helped me

prepare for my next big journey, six months studying abroad in

Switzerland, but that is another story, for another time.

Experience Personal

Growth. You can experience

significant personal growth by

studying abroad. Students

who study abroad discover

that in the process of learning

about other countries and

culture they end up learning

more about themselves in

ways that simply cannot be

replicated in the comforting

and familiar confines of an

American campus.

Immersion in another

language through study

abroad is one of the best

ways to gain proficiency in

that language.
