This episode delves into the fascinating study abroad stories of two incredible global Wildcats, Cate Harrington and Cleo Grimes. Cate and Cleo embarked on two different journeys, one to Thailand and the other to Japan. Yet, both stories share pieces of self-discovery, friendships gained, and perspectives expanded. Listen to Cate and Cleo's stories as they unravel the highs, the lows, the cultural differences and similarities, and the "aha" moments that shaped their time abroad in the continent of Asia. It is not just about the places they visited; it is about the lessons they learned, the global learning they gained, the friendships they forged, and how these experiences changed them forever.
