Preparing for cold temps, finding warm feelings and discovering one’s comfort zone during study abroad in Canada<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

– Chloe Bean, SPC High School Student, Canada Program, January 2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the temperature in Montreal and Quebec City being below zero most days, my study abroad trip left me with a warm feeling in my heart and a bad case of the travel bug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was nervous to go to Canada in January. How is a Florida girl supposed to survive an actual winter? I\u2019m usually wearing a coat if it gets below 60 degrees! For this adventure, I bought a completely new winter wardrobe and was prepared to take on the arctic weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the plane ride to Montreal, I quickly bonded with the other study abroad students and felt comfortable going out of my comfort zone with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had my first experience hiking an icy mountain the same day we arrived. It was then that I knew I was in for an experience of a lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next week, we were immersed in the Francophone culture of Montreal and Old Quebec City. From history museum tours, to snowball fights, to authentic cuisine, and even a tour of an indigenous people\u2019s reserve, I felt like I was at home despite being thousands of miles away from Florida. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we came back to Tampa, the weather was in the 60s. My parents picked me up from the airport in sweaters but I was sweating through my jeans. It was so weird to me, because a week ago I would have been bundled up in this weather, but now I was a little too warm to be comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first few days being home were strange because everything was normal. Normal had become boring, and I was already looking for my next adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To anyone wondering if studying abroad is for them, IT IS! There were all kinds of personalities on the tour yet we all worked as a group to get the best experience. I\u2019ve made new friends and strengthened preexisting friendships that will last for a lifetime. Most importantly, I\u2019ve learned to appreciate the Florida heat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
