Why did you originally choose to study abroad in the U.K.? Variety is the spice of life.

What have you been up to since graduation? Managed to find my dream job in the world of sports marketing.

What lessons or skills did you learn from studying abroad that you still think about today or still impact you today on your current path? Independent learning skills — involving research and analytical capabilities but also interpersonal skill.

One memory from abroad that still feels like it happened yesterday: Visited the santiago bernabeu football stadium which is the home stadium of my favorite football club Real Madrid.

Your message to students thinking about studying abroad: Studying abroad is one of the best things I ever done in my University life.
