Headed overseas? Take the time to prepare to change cultures. Why bother? Successfully adapting brings:
- New experiences, friendships, and adventures
- Improved language skills, self-esteem, self-awareness, and health
- Self-confidence, a positive mood, and stress reduction
- Global perspective and greater intercultural sensitivity
