And with this comic, Kelly’s adventures studying abroad have come to an end. Reading it now nearly 12 years later makes me incredibly nostalgic and miss those good times. In my short Michelmas term at Lancaster, I was able to travel to many other places, experience different cultures, make good friends, plus get more flirting under my belt. Now looking back, I wish I had created more comics about my adventures traveling beyond my uni but I am also proud of myself to stick with creating regular comics while also still taking classes and having fun traveling. The benefits of having more free time during college, but especially at an English university where I spent much less time in classes than I did in the U.S.
Since 2009, I have been back to Europe twice, visiting some of my same study abroad mates in London instead of in Lancaster. Within the next couple of years, I hope to return again, and while it would be nice to return to Paris or Rome, I also want to see new places like Spain and Belgium. If you didn’t get a chance to study abroad in college, go for fun in the future. Maybe we will even see each other there.
