Many students who wish to study abroad are worried about the distance between themselves and their family and friends. This blog hopes to inspire students to pursue studying abroad regardless of the distance with the help communication technology. Facebook, twitter, apps, and skype make it possible to stay connected to friends and family all over the world over the internet!
About Me

Keeping in contact with those you DONT want on your social media sites
There may be some of you who wish to communicate with others in a more formal fashion than social media, cell phone apps, or Skype. For example, I was close with a lot of coworkers before I left to study abroad, but I was not comfortable adding my coworkers (or bosses) to any of my social media sites, let alone video call them. The same goes for my professors. Whatever the circumstances, there are other methods of keeping these people up to date on your excursions. I recommend starting a blog. Blogs are great way to briefly update people on what you have been up to and still maintain a sense of personal privacy. You can add pictures (appropriate ones of course >.< ) to the blog as well.
