Students off travelling or working abroad can get some handy information from a new book. Surviving Your Year Abroad is written by former year-abroad student and professional translator, Nicola Beedle and covers a range of topics including budgeting and coping financially, what to expect on Day One, a step-by-step organisation guide, how to make the most of the experience and the essential “must dos”, “how tos” and “what to dos”.
Nicola said: “In 2009 I was in the situation many students face today. I was about to embark on my year abroad and I was scared, worried and a bit anxious about what would be in store for me. I knew there were lots of things I needed to do but I didn’t know where to start. I wish I’d been able to speak to previous year abroad students before I left.
“So, when I came back, I created Surviving Your Year Abroad and surveyed hundreds of year abroad students and carried out lots of in-depth interviews. All the “been there, done that” information has been poured into the Surviving Your Year Abroad e-Book – ready and waiting for anyone about to head off on their year abroad adventure to get stuck in.”
The paperback of Surviving Your Year Abroad is priced £10. A £5 ebook version is also available. Visit www.survivingyouryearabroad.com
