Coming back from travel abroad

Much more thinking is typically done about preparing to go abroad than on the return home. However, it is important to think about the return. Many are surprised at just how big a shock it can be to return home after spending two months or more in another country. Fortunately, resources are available to help you think about the experiences you just had, to interpret their meaning for your personal and professional life, and to utilize them as you begin a new, post-abroad phase.
