    Studying Abroad as an Introvert 

    May 21, 2025 /

    By Katharine O’Hearn, Concordia University, Canada  One thing I didn’t expect about studying abroad was dealing with the pressure to be spending so much time with other people as an introvert. For me, I sometimes felt like if I didn’t have the energy to be doing something every day or constantly making new friends, I was failing. I thought I’d provide some advice here for people in the same boat to ease the pressure a bit and feel a bit more like you’re making the most of studying abroad, even if spending all your time with other people doesn’t come naturally or you prefer to stay home a bit more.   Hopefully…

'My friends and I took a day trip to the Toronto Islands while the weather is still warm. We hired bikes and cycled around the whole island, taking regular photo breaks! (The CN Tower featuring in most photos, of course). Thinking about going abroad as part of your degree but you don't know where to start 🤔 The Go Abroad team is sending a massive welcome to all of our students at the start of this year 👋 "My mid-semester break road trip around the South Island of New Zealand. Some of these photos are from Roy’s Peak, the Franz Josef glacier, brunch in Christchurch and watching a rail jam in Wanaka." - from our GA Imogen in New Zealand! "My first few weeks in Sydney settling in by seeing the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, swimming in the North Sydney Olympic Pool, going whale watching, and going to Bronte beach" - from our GA Lucy in Sydney, Australia! "What a way to spend the teaching break- exploring Kuala Lumpur, George Town and Langkawi, Malaysia" from our GA Elena in Australia! "Skiing in 'Fart Bags' in the Chilean Andes" - from our Global Ambassador Romany in Chile! 🎿 'Cycling through the seasons in Amsterdam' "My first two weeks in Perth! I’ve had a proper Aussie induction through AFL and rugby games, meeting a koala (and snake!) and decorating my own boomerang. Despite it being winter, I have also spent a lot of time by the sea, at Scarborough and Cottelsoe Beaches and visited Matilda Bay on Swan River (not even a 5 minute walk from campus). Through St Catherine’s College, I attended my first Formal Hall (the academic gown) and visited an incredible viewpoint overlooking the Perth skyline." from our GA Elizabeth in Australia 🐨🇦🇺🧡 #uomgoabroad #globalambassador
