Caroline Deason

Hello everyone! My name is Caroline Deason and I am a senior majoring in integrated studies. I went on the Baylor Business in Sydney trip last summer. I decided to go abroad because, I love to travel and have always wanted to live in a different country to experience the different cultures around the world and gain an experience of a lifetime. My biggest lesson that I learned while abroad was go abroad even if you don’t know anyone going or don’t have any friends going with you. Before I went abroad I did not know anyone that was going on my trip and I was extremely nervous that I was not going to enjoy my trip. However, I ended up meeting some of my best friends on my trip and making lifelong memories and friendships because of this trip and deciding to go even though I did not know anyone going. If you are looking to study abroad and find a place that you want to go but do not know anyone going don’t let that stop you from getting a once in a lifetime opportunity and meeting some of your best-friends because now I could not imagine what I would do without these people and the memories that we share together.
