My Fourth Experience Abroad By Edna Santiago
Brazilian traveler Edna Santiago praises her study abroad experience in San Diego, highlighting favorite activities like exploring the city and enjoying sunsets, while cherishing friendships at CEL.
Hi, my name is Edna Santiago and I’m from Brazil. This is my fourth time studying abroad - Boston, Toronto, Chicago and San Diego. I can tell you that there’s no age limit to start following your dreams. I also can’t thank my travel agency enough, they are extremely professional and amazing!
This time was a very interesting way to choose my destination, because I had barely heard about San Diego before, because when you think about California, L.A. and San Francisco always come to your mind. So, when I was planning my vacation (every year in a different place) and choosing the place, San Diego caught my eye because it's a beautiful city and "a little bit" cheaper than the others.
My favorite things to do during my language course in San Diego were definitely to walk on the fantastic streets, run around the harbor, take a trolley and go to the Mexico border (I had a huge curiosity about "the wall") and watch the fantastic sunset while drinking a cup of coffee. And visit the beaches, of course, despite the fact that I'm not into beaches so much. I would definitely recommend the Harbor and Coronado Beach. To eat, well, I recommend blueberry muffins! I will also miss our coffee time after lunch, my amazing house, my friends, my English classes and the Pacific Ocean.
I met wonderful people at CEL and they are the best thing about San Diego, in my opinion. The teachers are awesome! The environment is cozy and friendly. Bean bags scattered along the floor in the common area are a great idea.
Overall my experience was outstanding! Everything was excelent!

왜 글로벌 대기업들은 해외 경험이 있는 지원자를 선호할까?
해외 경험은 이제 선택이 아닌 경쟁력입니다. 글로벌 대기업들이 해외 경험자를 선호하는 이유는 언어 능력을 넘어선 문화 이해, 적응력, 문제 해결력, 그리고 글로벌 커뮤니케이션 역량에 있습니다. 유학·어학연수·인턴십은 글로벌 인재로 성장하기 위한 가장 확실한 발판입니다.
