As <\/span>I prepare for my month-long adventure to Santo Domingo, I look forward to the people I will <\/span>meet, the knowledge I will gain and the projects that I will be a <\/span>part of. The materials and information provided at the orientation session have been a valuable reference in forming my id<\/span>ea of what to expect and how to best prepare. With the patience of my study abroad advisers and the InteR<\/span>Dom team, my countless emails filled with questions were always answered with clarity and kindness. <\/span><\/p>\n

Travelin<\/span>g abroad brings about feelings of excitement, though I also become more aware of the important things I must do to kee<\/span>p myself healthy and safe. So as not to become overwhelmed in preparation, I created to-do lists to keep me orga<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/span>nized. For the months leading up to my departure date, I checked with my doctor about necessary prescriptions, immunizations and other health-related advice he could offer. I looked into travel insurance for my valuables, made a packing list to ensure I wasn\u2019t leaving anything behind and kept open communication with my advisers and the InteRDom team. To say the least, I was so glad to see my to-do lists dwindle away as the days passed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now with only 2 days until departure, I can thank my advisers, InteRDom and my to-do lists for helping me prepare for this exciting adventure. I can\u2019t wait to look out the plane window as I arrive to my new home for the next four weeks. Santo Domingo, here I come!<\/span><\/p>\n
