My Eramus+ experience taught me that I can rely on myself

Studying abroad was always something I wanted to do. I fulfilled my wish by going to Oslo for one semester and it gave me all I’d imagined it would and much more. 

Of course, I met new people from different cultures with whom I could share life experiences. My English got better significantly, I even started thinking and dreaming in English in just a few weeks. But the most valuable thing for me was that I got to know myself. I managed to sort out my priorities, get a better idea of what I wanted to do with my life, and I gained more confidence. Because whatever problem arose, I could either solve it myself or get the help I needed. It taught me that I can absolutely rely on myself. 

So, I would not say that Erasmus+ changed me, rather it changed the way I look at myself, and that is something I will always be grateful for. And because I know that international experience like this can positively influence a person’s life.
