Jordan opens up about what it’s like moving abroad during a pandemic and the experience of coming back home.
Takeaways:
- Getting to know people takes time.
- It’s easy to be in your comfort zone but it can be really rewarding to venture outside of it.
- There will always be an adjustment period when you change environments.
- Twins are used to a very close relationship, so making new friends is sometimes challenging.
- Sometimes twins can be jealous of the other twin’s non-shared friends, until they get to know them.
- Be gentle with yourself while you adjust and try to look for the similarities rather than the differences.
- Like Jordan shared, sometimes when you think you’re ready for an experience, life says not now. She applied to a program, didn’t get it, then reapplied years later and was accepted. She now appreciates that she had this experience later in life.
- Analyze any opportunity in a big picture setting, using pros and cons, before making a decision.
- People are just people. Society rules and expectations can make you feel different but keeping in mind our common humanity can help you adapt to new surroundings.
- Get out there and explore the world. Open yourself to new experiences and new ways of doing things.
- If you want to travel, get creative. There are lots of ways to have affordable travel experiences.
- Try new foods you’ve never eaten before - you won’t know if you’ll like it or hate it before you eat it.
