Ep.5 英國交換生活1/2：上半年的自我成長與沈澱 / 交換學生值得嗎？

這次想和大家聊聊一點感性的話題。隨著交換生涯的上半部結束在上學期末，迎接下學期之前的緩衝期中，除了和外國朋友們一一道別之外，也因為過年而回到台灣與家人重聚。在這樣的緩衝期，也讓我沉澱出一些自我成長——學習說再見、適應異鄉生活，還有在出國後重新審視「家」對我的意義。

👉🏻本集（有跟沒有的）重點：

• 捨不得和外國朋友們道別：學習說再見的困難與成長
• 出國後對家的全新感受：其實出國後回顧台灣，家畢竟就是家啊～
• 交換真的很輕鬆嗎？面對語言障礙 & 文化適應的挑戰
• 交換值得嗎？ 異地生活讓我更認識自己與世界？

🎧 雖然是一集很輕鬆聊聊心事的一集，但是本集最大重點還是想強調想出國就千萬別猶豫啦！

我的交換旅程雖然有迷茫、有孤獨，但更多的是不斷成長的自己。如果你也在適應海外新環境的過程或是正在追求一個出國夢，希望這集能帶給你共鳴與力量！

This time, I want to dive into something a bit more personal. As the first half of my exchange journey came to an end last semester, I entered a transition period before starting the next chapter. Saying goodbye to international friends and reuniting with family in Taiwan for the Lunar New Year made me reflect deeply. This phase allowed me to process my emotions, grow through goodbyes, adapt to life abroad, and redefine what "home" truly means after leaving my country.

👉🏻 What’s in this episode:

• Hard to say goodbye to international friends: The challenge and growth in learning to let go
• A fresh perspective on home after studying abroad: Home is still home
• Is studying abroad really easy? Facing language barriers & cultural adaptation
• Is going on exchange worth it? How living abroad helped me understand myself and the world

🎧 This is a casual, heartfelt episode, but there’s one message I want to emphasize—if you’re thinking about studying abroad, don’t hesitate!

My journey has been filled with confusion and loneliness, but even more so, personal growth. If you're adjusting to life in a new country or chasing your dream of studying abroad, I hope this episode resonates with you and gives you strength!
