Erasmus exchange and relationships: how to survive a long-distance relationship abroad - with Alina in Belgium

Another way of spending time abroad is doing an ERASMUS semester
abroad. In this episode, my guest Alina and I speak about her
exchange semester in Belgium and why Belgium wasn't her first
choice initially.

Listen to this episode if you want to learn:


How to juggle your relationship when studying abroad

Why deadlines are so important 

What you need to consider for housing when studying
abroad 

Why you should not care so much about grades



These are my favorite quotes of the episode:


3:54: "During my bachelors I wanted to go abroad, but I was a
bit too late to go overseas"

20:42"What helped the most is that we both knew it was
limited to 6-months (talking about relationships and going
abroad)"

22:17: "Looking back now, it was an overall positive
experience." 

33:14: "If you have the opportunity: do it! You will never
regret it! Never!"

34:55: "Say more yes than no because time is limited."
