In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

Traveling, learning, and working on her own is empowering.

Wow, I really agree with the "You start listening to your own voice in your head" in the new city. It's like it just popped up in my head out of nowhere.

I think the best part about being abroad is learn much more about yourself

Great video :D I' going to move to Toronto this September for 9 months. I've always dreamed of living abroad for as long as I can think and now that I've graduated I've decided that now is the time. Everybody keeps asking me if I'm nervous or something but if truth be told I can't wait. I think it's incredibly important to do something on your own and leave everything you know behind.

how did she afford to move so much? It is my dream but money is the biggest thing stopping me

thank you, thank you for this video. I'm from Syracuse, NY but have been living between France and Germany for over 6 years now. Some days can be so challenging that I forget why I wanted to move abroad in the first place, but your video is a really fresh and positive reminder of all of the good aspects of living abroad. thank again. :)

Spoken from a place of honesty and passion, i could see how you lit up when you spoke about South Korea and how it brought you and your mom close. I hope you've found what you've been "looking" for and your happy how your journey has shaped you and your perspective on life. I truly enjoyed watching you speak, calm and fruitful . Im planning on moving to Canada next year (2021) to work and study and i now know i will be doing the best decision moving abroad!

'Who's heard of Minnesota?'

Every German in the room puts their hand up.

Proof that spending money on education over nukes pays off.
