The Social and Personal Benefits of Study Abroad Writing: An Interview with Corielle

The other day I came across an article about the benefits of travel writing for study abroad students. The article lists six reasons as to why travel writing is ideal for students abroad. The most attractive of these reasons include possible monetary compensation with a flexible schedule, writing improvements and the compilation of a portfolio or diary to remember the experiences of being abroad.
In keeping with the Italian theme, one of my sorority sisters studied abroad in Rome during the fall semester. While she was there she wrote for a newspaper in her hometown of Chicago. Although she was not paid for her weekly column, the personal benefits and improvements she experienced far outweigh any monetary compensation she could have received. Listen to hear Corielle’s experience!
