Making the move to Barça a couple months ago was a much harder decision to take than some people might think. Admittedly, there are a lot of upsides to playing alongside the best players in the world. The standards are high, the training sessions are good, you're in better shape than you've ever been in and you're steadily growing your trophy cabinet. On the other hand, nothing was harder than leaving your family behind in England.

You grew up in London, a steady youth leading the way towards being picked up by the Arsenal academy, where you went through all the youth groups and eventually got picked for the first team. Everything seemed to be going well, you were playing a good amount of minutes, fitting right in to Arsenal's defensive line. The first couple years you couldn't imagine yourself ever playing for a different team than the Gunners, but an injury-ridden year completely changed that. It started with a few niggles that kept you out of the occasional game, but a couple months into the season you suffered a lateral ligament injury to your right ankle, keeping you out for the best part of 3 months. You tried your best to get back into the squad, but you felt like Arsenal had moved past you.

At 27, still one of the best defenders in the game, you let your agent know that you needed a change. It hadn't been easy for you to come to the conclusion that it was better to leave, but you weren't ready to give up on your career yet. Not when you were supposed to be in your peak years now. Endless meetings, phone calls, late night text messages and a lot of turmoil later, the perfect deal struck. You were starting to feel a bit hopeless in your position, so Barça's offer came at the perfect time.

They expressed how they thought you'd be a perfect fit in their defensive line. Standing tall at 5'7, your aerial threat was one of the things they voiced could be helpful to the team. The contract in itself was perfect. They offered you three years, good pay and they would help you with accommodating to Spain – housing, visa, finances, the club would take care of all of that so you could focus on settling in through your football.

It seemed like a no-brainer, but obviously there were two sides to the story. You were determined to get your career back on the right track, but leaving your family behind in England wasn't an easy decision to make. It took a lot of tearful hugs and heartfelt promises to visit from your family, before you managed to cut the cord completely and sign the contract with the Spanish giants. Nonetheless, you always felt like your family supported all your decisions, and just like you they were certain that this was the right move for your career.

Now 3 months later, if anyone asked you, you would still say that this had been the perfect step. You accommodated to the weather fairly quickly, settled into an apartment that the club had found for you, and took up a couple extra language classes on offer to try and master the Spanish language a bit quicker – you had a basic understanding, and you could manage during games and training sessions, but still struggled here and there.

You'd felt at home within the team, too. It was definitely one of the things that had been on your mind prior to your first training session. You were nervous about whether you were going to be good enough, whether they would deem you worthy enough of wearing the blaugrana colors, but any doubts melted away like snow in the sun when you got invited to a team bonding night right as your first training session ended.

You went out for a meal and drinks in one of Barçelona's hidden gems, one that the girls seemed to love. It was clear that they had been here quite a few times, because the waiter knew some of their orders by heart. You bonded with Ingrid throughout the night, both of you sharing experiences of having to leave your family behind in a different country to play football here. You warmed up to her, she was nice to you and seemed to really like your company, but you stayed a bit distant from the rest of the girls. Everyone was deep in conversation with each other, most of the time conversing in Spanish. You were well aware that they didn't have to involve you in their conversations, you were a 27-year-old adult at last who could stand up for themself, but you found it hard to really integrate fully with the tight group that had seemed to form over the years. From a different point of view, it might've seemed that you were uninterested and not bothered trying to mingle with the rest of the team, but that wasn't the case at all. Although, that wasn't what people picked up. Especially not the captain.

You've not had more than a handful conversations with Alexia, ever since you signed for Barça. In the beginning, you tried putting it off to the fact you both weren't entirely comfortable in the other's language. But as time went on and you got settled more and more into the team, playing more minutes and getting closer to most of the girls, you couldn't just put it down to that anymore. You had tried a couple times in the early days of you transfer to string together a conversation with the Spanish midfielder, but you never got further than the odd "Hola" or "Good game, Ale". You tried to shrug it off, but you couldn't say that it didn't bother you. Alexia seemed open and chatty towards your teammates, but seemed to block off the second you neared within a 5-meter radius from her. And even though you had bonded quite well with her best friend and her girlfriend, they didn't seem to want to say anything about it.

A couple weeks had passed, and you found yourself in a meeting talking about the month ahead. December would be busy, UWCL games ramping up and the league and cup to keep up with. There was a lot of tactical talk going on and while you know you shouldn't, you zoned out a bit, tired from the already long day – and it was far from over. You had an appointment planned with the physios after the meeting, a quick routine check for your ankle, but they would need to take some tests here and there, pushing your relaxing on your couch tonight even further back on the agenda. You got pulled out of your thoughts when the tone in the meeting changed, going from very stern and tactical to a little bit lighter, and it wasn't until you noticed the powerpoint slide that you understood why.

SECRET SANTA

Your eyes widened in surprise and a small smile grew on your lips, a light hum of chatter making it's way through the meeting room as some girls rehashed up some memories from the year before. You hadn't expected secret santa to be a tradition within the Barça squad, but you found it fun. Otherwise so very composed and professional, it was nice to see a different side to the club and the staff.

"Okay, girls! As you can see from the powerpoint slide, we're doing secret santa again this year! Last season went well and we thought we should reintegrate it again. We're going to draw names now in the meeting, and then we'll arrange a date further down the line when we figure out what our schedule will look like." A couple staff members explained the ins and outs a bit further for anyone who had never participated in the lighthearted Christmas tradition, and then the name drawing started. Someone had written everyone's names on little pieces of paper and put them in a bowl, letting it go round the meeting room and having everyone take one. You were sat near the back, so there was only a couple pieces of paper left when it was your turn. You picked one and shielded away from Esmee and Keira who were on either side of you, reading the name that was written on the paper. Mapi Léon. A smile crept on your lips upon reading your defensive partner's name. You didn't give in to Keira’s prying and soon the meeting concluded, sending everyone on their way for the next part of their day.

Most of the girls were headed home now, but you made your way to the physio's office. They checked a couple things and made you do a couple tests, measuring and calculating whatever they deemed necessary to ensure that your ankle was perfectly fine. Lucky for you, it didn't take long as you thought it would. You were the only one that still needed treatment, so the physios were able to round off their checklist for you quite smoothly. You were sent on your way with a pat on the shoulder, telling you to keep it up the way you were doing – both on the pitch and with your ankle. You shrugged it off at the time but you couldn't deny the way it made you feel a little warm inside. You were still quite self-conscious about yourself and your football here in Barçelona, so it was more than welcome to get a compliment about it, especially from someone that isn't the coach.

December was rough. You thought you'd get a little reprieve from cold winters as you now were a bit more south compared to England, but you were fooled. It was cold, it was busy, the training sessions only getting harder as the games ramped up in both domestic competitions and the Champions League. The month felt like it was going on forever but eventually you reached the end. Your final training session of the week, Thursday, but more importantly secret santa day. After you wrapped up both the outside and indoor session, everyone went for a shower and then gathered in the cafeteria. You all had some post-workout food and then got together at one big table, conversation flowing easily as everyone prepared to receive and give their gifts. You were one of the first who had to give their present. You'd gotten Mapi a big batch of her favorite coffee blend, along with a couple different syrups for her to try. You knew she loved her coffee and you hoped she'd be happy with it, but a subtle nudge from Ingrid had set you up in the right way and you were quite certain that the Spaniard would be pleased with your present.

"Oooh, muy bien!" Mapi wore a bright smile as she opened your present, clearly happy with what you bought her. Ingrid and you shared a knowing look before her girlfriend pulled you into a tight hug, pressing a smacking kiss against your cheek in thanks. Your cheeks flushed a little when you realized the two of you were in the centre of attention, quickly sitting back down and letting the afternoon roll on. What you didn't notice, though, whilst you and your defensive partner were sharing an embrace, was the jealous look in Alexia's eye.

Admittedly, she had been cold to you, some would even say it was borderline rude the way she treated you ever since you came in. But she had a reason. And she knew damn well that didn't excuse her behavior, but she couldn't bring herself to either telling you what was on her mind or dropping her cold act. So she kept it going, knowing it made you uncomfortable, although that was the last thing she wanted to do. In reality, Alexia had started developing some feelings for you. None very deep, because how in the world would that be possible based on nothing more than a handful three-sentence conversations, but you had piqued her interest. Your hard-working nature, the way you held yourself, your professionalism – but who would she fool if she said she didn't find you attractive. It might've been the biggest one, even. Alexia felt attracted to you. But by the time she realized that, she'd kept the cold act up for so long that she didn't think there was a way back, so instead of confessing to you she only acted more distant and more cold. She knew she was in the wrong, but an opportunity had popped up to make it up to you and she wasn't going to let it slip.

Time flowed easily, and before you knew it your name was called. Your eyes shot around the room to see who would get up, but seeing her walk over to the pile of presents was the last thing you'd expected. Alexia's light expression that she was wearing earlier, had changed to the stone cold one that she wore whenever she was in close proximity with you. You noticed how neatly wrapped her present was. A beautiful beige wrapping paper, with gold accents here and there, topped off with a small black ribbon. She came to stand beside you, propping one of her arms on the back of your chair, leaning her body over to you and dropping the present on your lap. You were well aware of how close the Spaniard was to you right now, probably closer than she'd ever been. When she didn't say anything, you just went to unwrap the package that was heavy in your lap. You didn't recognize the packaging immediately, but when you realized what was underneath the wrapping paper you could feel a couple tears pricking your eyes.

An array of British snacks and comfort foods sat in your lap, from Cadbury chocolates to Walkers crisps, digestives and so much more. You hadn't expected such a thoughtful present from anyone, especially not Alexia. You quickly wiped away a stray tear that had escaped your eye, quickly standing up and turning your body towards Alexia. "Thank you," you said, not knowing what to do with your hands as you played with the rings on your fingers. You were more than thankful that most of the girls weren't paying attention to the interaction, most of them caught up with their own presents or inspecting what others had gotten. "Can I give you a hug?" You didn't want to overstep any boundaries, but you wanted to thank her appropriately for the present. You'd never voiced to her directly that you missed home, so it was clear that she'd just been paying attention. Maybe more than you thought she had been. Alexia didn't respond verbally but pulled you in a hug, awkwardly patting your back as she didn't know what to do with herself. In reality, she wanted to pull you tight, rub comforting patterns across your back and press a kiss against your crown but she knew that was a place she wouldn't return from. So instead, she did the next best thing; push you further away. "Just because I got you this, doesn't mean I like you."

Your body tensed up at her words and you suddenly noticed the burning sensation of her arms around you, quickly removing yourself from the embrace and sitting back down, nearly giving yourself a whiplash from the sheer force that you backed away from the midfielder with. You'd allowed yourself to get comfortable in the hug, sensing as if you two were crossing a bit of the boundaries that had been present ever since you met one another, but her comment put you right back where you started – maybe even further. The interaction didn't go lost on Mapi, who whispered something in Alexia's ear as she passed the defender to go back to her seat, Mapi clearly angry at her.

You sulked for the remainder of the evening, knowing you were being a pain in the ass but you couldn't bring it in you to care this time. When you said your goodbyes and made your way out of the facility later that evening, you felt a hand tugging you back before you could open the door of your car. Startled by the unexpected touch, you clutched your chest where your heart would be as your eyes met Ingrid's. "Ingrid, don't scare me like that, for god's sake," you said, playfully hitting the Norwegian's shoulder who only laughed at your reaction. The conversation soon took a turn, though, when she mentioned the earlier events. "Hey, about Alexia, I kno-", she started, although you didn't let her finish. "Ingrid, it's fine. She doesn't like me, I get it. I'll just steer clear from her. I don't need it to be told to my face, we can just avoid one another and everything will be fine."

Ingrid closed her eyes and shook her head, placing a hand on your arm that was animatedly waving along as you spoke. "No. God, no. You're so wrong." "I'm wrong? Ingrid, you heard what she said to me. I don't think I need more confirmation than what she verbally told me a couple hours ago." The Norwegian pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a deep sigh, before she spoke up again. "I know this is going to sound weird, but Alexia doesn't hate you. She doesn't dislike you, not at all. It's quite the opposite, if you ask me."

"The opposite?" you asked, a confused lilt in your voice as you urged Ingrid to speak further. "She'll give me hell for telling you this, but I can't just be a bystander to this anymore. She's hurting you." Ingrid took a deep breath and looked you in the eye. "Alexia likes you. And she doesn't know what to do about it. So she does what she does know, and that's pushing you away. I, uhm, agree that it isn't the way she should handle it and certainly not like she did just earlier, but she doesn't know any better." Your thoughts ran rampant in your head, thinking about all the conversations and interactions you had in the past months and gauging whether there was any point where Alexia acted like she liked you, even for a moment. "Ingrid, what the hell are you talking about?" You raised your voice, to which she put a hand on your shoulder, reminding you that you were outside the parking lot just outside the facility. "I know it sounds insane. I didn't believe it either when Mapi told me, but you know she wouldn't lie to her best friend about that. Now, I don't know how you feel about her, but I suggest you talk about it. Because she's been sulking about the situation at our house the last couple weeks and I can't bear it anymore. She has to do something about it, and quick."

"Ingrid, I-" "Y/N. Don't argue with me on this. I don't know how you feel about Alexia, but I know how it's been weighing on you that she's been treating you like this. If anything, it's just an opportunity to clear some of the tension. If you don't want to do it for her, do it for me and Maria." You nodded, begrudgingly, but you nodded nonetheless. You didn't say much more because you needed some time to process what the Norwegian told you, so you sent her away with another promise to text Alexia and then drove home. You took your time that evening to process everything. You thought back to the couple months, and the newfound information still felt like a fever dream. Alexia liked you. Liked liked you. You couldn't say it didn't flatter you. You also couldn't say that some of those feelings weren't mutual, but you'd need some time to explore those. And you'd need lots of time and conversations with Alexia before you could move past the way she treated you the past months. But you were ready to give it a try. So later that night, you sent the Spanish midfielder a text, secretly hoping that Ingrid had notified her that she'd told you, softening the blow a little bit already.

To: Alexia Hey, Alexia. I'm not sure how to approach this, but here goes nothing. I spoke to Ingrid today about us, and about you, I assume she told you this? I don't want to wave this away and say I think the way you treated me is excused now that I know the reason behind it. I know you know that too, and I'd love to talk about that if you are open to do so too. Nonetheless, I was still shocked when Ingrid told me the reasoning behind your behavior. I didn't expect it and it still feels a bit like a fever dream. I'm flattered, even? I'd love to explore it, Ale, but we'll have to talk about some things first.

You sent the message before you could overthink any of your word choices, and plopped down on the couch. You wanted to set your mind to the show that was playing on tv, but you couldn't focus – your thoughts seemingly unable to drift away from Alexia. You thought about what you wanted to say to her, how you wanted to word whatever you were feeling, but right before you could dive in the deep end of your feelings you heard a notification sound coming from your phone, slightly startling you. You picked it up with haste, eager to see what the blonde had replied.

From: Alexia Hola :) I'm sorry you had to find out through Ingrid, that's not fair on you. I know I should've told you and I know I've been childish about it, but I didn't know what to do with myself. I completely understand if my behavior has put a barrier between the two of us, because I've been nothing short of immature. I would love to talk to you about things, because I've been silent about it all for long enough. If you're down, I could call you? I hope you're enjoying your present.

A small smile tugged at the corners of your lips at the mention of her present, glancing over to the basket of snacks that was placed on your coffee table. You grabbed a packet of crisps and sat back on the couch, enjoying the salty snack while you typed a response to Alexia.

To: Alexia It's okay. I can understand where you're coming from, but I'm glad you're acknowledging that it was immature. I loved the present. What you said while I hugged you confused me even further, and I know I was killing the mood after that. I'm sorry for that. But thank you, it means so much to me. I'd love to call, but could you maybe come over instead? I'd prefer it if you were near, but don't worry if you can't. I know it's late and it's been a rough week.

From: Alexia I'll be right there.

You hadn't put your phone down as another message from Alexia chimed in, letting you know she was on her way to your place. You decided not to question how she knew your address, assuming she probably got it from Maria or Ingrid. You quickly freshened up a little, brushing your hair and putting on some fresh clothes, still in your training attire from earlier. You tidied a little, putting dishes in the dishwasher and rearranging your cushions as a knock on your door pulled you out of your thoughts. You opened the door to a sight you thought you'd never see. Alexia was sporting a small smile, a thin layer of sweat present on her face from the rush she was in coming here. In her hands was a small bouquet of red roses, and you wondered where she'd found the time to pick those up along the way. You felt warm inside and ushered the blonde to come inside, not wanting her to be in the cold hallway much longer.

"Hi," you said softly, still feeling a little apprehensive whenever she was around. Old manners died hard. "Hi. These are for you." Alexia stretched her arm out and gave you the bouquet of flowers, which you gratefully took and put in the empty vase on your kitchen counter. "Thank you so much. You know you didn't have to do that but, uhm, they're really nice. Thank you. I still needed some for this vase, clearly," you chuckled, your cheeks flushing slightly red at the loving gesture from the Spanish midfielder. You were still struggling to wrap your mind around the shift in behavior from Alexia, grown very used to her stone cold personality whenever you were around her. It was a very welcome change, but it was one that you'd have to get used to.

"Do you want a drink?" You asked Alexia, who was seemingly lost in thought while she looked around your apartment, taking in her surroundings. You decided to let her do that and fill up two glasses of water for you and her, slowly making your way over to the living room where she was looking through your vinyl collection. "You've settled in nicely, I really like how you decorated your apartment," Alexia said when she heard you shuffling around behind you. A bright smile crept on your face at the compliment. "Thanks. I've spent a lot of time trying to make it look cozy. Being that far away from my family and friends, it's just nice to have a place that feels like home." "I can imagine. I've never moved away from here and I've never had to struggle with something like you are right now, but I can imagine it's not easy at all. You're doing great." You looked away from Alexia's gaze as you felt your cheeks heating up again. "Do you want to sit?" You tried to steer the conversation away from the current topic, earning a nod from Alexia as she sat down on your couch, opposite to you.

You talked for hours on end, the conversation topics ranging from your family to hers, to your move to Barçelona and what sparked it, to how you've been feeling at the club, to eventually the – still slightly apprehensive – relationship between the two of you. Talking to Alexia felt easy, something you never thought you'd say. She was interested, listened with intent and really seemed like wanted to hear what you were saying. She asked questions, tried to understand your views on things and voiced back exactly how she felt. You hadn't expected her to be so open about her feelings after everything that happened the past couple of months, so it was a welcome change for the blonde to put her heart out like that. When you felt like she adequately expressed her feelings about you, you too talked about your own. You said that you really wanted to explore things between you, that you couldn't deny the blonde's charming energy and that you had found yourself gutted with how little the two of you had bonded over your first couple months in Barçelona – more than eager to make up for lost time.

When the night came to an end, you could feel a weight had been lifted from your shoulders, and Alexia felt the same. It had been nothing less than a burden for her to carry around, forever dancing around feelings that she didn't know how to express, pushing you further than she ever wanted to do. She was eternally grateful for the opportunity you were giving her by wanting to talk to her.

"Thank you, honestly. You didn't owe me anything and yet you gave me the chance to explain everything and talk about my feelings. I owe you one." You smiled brightly at Alexia and waved away her comments. "Don't worry about it. We've talked about it, we're okay. I understand where you were coming from. It's fine, Ale, I promise. I'm glad you came to terms with it."

The two of you started to make moves towards your front door, knowing you should end your conversations and call it a day, but with the prospect of a day off tomorrow and no training to wake up for, neither of you really felt the intent to wrap it up. Nonetheless, a couple moments later Alexia found herself in the hallway, leaning against your doorframe as you talked a little more, wrapping up your conversation.

You noticed Alexia looking down at her feet, playing with her fingers before she lifted her head and locked eyes with you again. "I might not be in the position to ask you this right now, but would you maybe want to go on a... date together?" You chuckled at Alexia's nervousness, a slightly red tint covering her cheeks as she spoke. You took one of her hands in yours and nodded fiercely, a smug grin covering your lips. "Yeah, I'd love to. Text me, okay? I'm free whenever." Alexia's smile grew wider with each word you spoke, the Spanish midfielder giddy about the prospect of taking you on a date. "I will. I promise. I should get going now, it's getting late." "You should. Be safe getting home. Have a good night, Ale."

You pressed a soft kiss to Alexia's cheek after wishing her a good night, causing the midfielder to blush deeper than she already had been. She stumbled over her words as she wished you another goodnight, clumsily walking backwards and gripping the handrail as she nearly fell head first on the first step of the stairs of your apartment block. You couldn't hold back the chuckle as you watched Alexia steady herself and rush down the stairs. "Be careful, capi!" you yelled after her, earning nothing more than a grumble and some Spanish curse words that you couldn't make out.

Sticking to her promise, Alexia was way more open with her feelings moving further. You went on a couple dates, you shared a few kisses and before you knew it you were dating. If someone told you that goddamn Secret Santa was what would bring you two closer, and eventually start a relationship, you would've never believed them.

The Unseen Costs of Brexit

Brexit has undeniably altered the UK’s relationship with the EU and had significant consequences on various aspects of daily life, from travel and living abroad to education and employment opportunities. Through writing, I focus on the points that drive home the message of the tangible impacts of Brexit and the need for progressive leadership.

A Call for Change Brexit was sold as a move to reclaim sovereignty and control, but the reality for many has been a profound loss. As we navigate the aftermath, it becomes increasingly clear that the promises made have led to unforeseen consequences for all citizens.

Political Reaction

Immigration became a central issue in political debates. Parties and movements advocating for Brexit, such as the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and the Leave campaign, capitalised on public concerns about immigration. They argued that leaving the EU would allow the UK to regain control over its borders and immigration policy.

Loss of Freedom to Travel and Live Abroad

The ability to travel and live freely across EU countries has been curtailed. For many, this has meant giving up dreams of retiring in sunny Spain, pursuing careers in cosmopolitan cities like Paris or Berlin, or even just experiencing the richness of European cultures firsthand. Travel Restrictions

Visa requirements and limited stays in EU countries have replaced our previously seamless travel experience.

Relocation Barriers

Moving abroad now involves complex immigration processes, impacting those who once planned to retire, study or work in the EU. Education and Employment Opportunities

Younger generations, who were just beginning to explore their futures, have been particularly hard hit. The opportunities to study, live, and work in the EU, which were once easily accessible, have become complicated and prohibitively expensive. Erasmus Withdrawal

Students have lost access to the Erasmus+ programme, which provided opportunities to study across Europe, enriching their academic and cultural experiences.

Job Market Challenges

Employment in the EU now comes with additional hurdles, limiting career prospects that were once easily accessible and attainable. Economic and Social Impact

Brexit’s economic fallout has led to job losses and business closures. The promise of newfound economic prosperity seems hollow as industries struggle and communities face financial uncertainty. Trade Barriers

New tariffs and regulations have disrupted supply chains, increased costs and have created many challenges for businesses, especially small enterprises.

Social Division

The referendum and its aftermath have deepened societal divisions, with communities becoming polarised and national discourse often mired in conflict. Politicians' Disconnect

While many politicians who championed Brexit continue to lead comfortable lives, still enjoying the benefits of EU residency or citizenship, ordinary citizens are now facing the brunt of the fallout. The Hypocrisy of Brexit

David Cameron, Nigel Farage, and Boris Johnson who appear to remain unaffected, highlighting a glaring disparity between the rhetoric used to amass votes, and the reality for the average person. There is a growing need to hold leaders accountable for the promises made versus the outcomes delivered. A Call to Action: Make Your Vote Count

As we approach the General Election, it is crucial to advocate for politicians who recognise the damage done and are willing to pursue policies that can repair and rebuild our connections with the EU. We need leaders with vision and a commitment to reversing the detrimental impacts of Brexit. Support Forward-Thinking Leaders

Choose candidates who are focused on restoring opportunities, enhancing economic stability and fostering unity both within the UK and with our European neighbours; advocate for policies that will ease travel, education and employment barriers, ensuring that future generations do not miss out on the opportunities we have taken for granted. Brexit has undoubtedly changed the landscape of the UK. By voting and demanding accountability, we can strive towards a future that reclaims the lost freedoms and opportunities, ensuring a brighter and more inclusive path moving forward. This approach underscores the concrete impacts of Brexit while appealing to a sense of agency and the need for action, encouraging us to vote for much needed change in the upcoming election.

Informed Writing for Democracy I hope my efforts to write about these issues will contribute to a more informed electorate. Writing about important topics can inform and educate the public, which is essential for a healthy democracy. By sharing my perspectives and insights, I aim to spark conversations, challenge prevailing narratives and encourage others to think critically about the issues that matter when choosing the party they vote for.

How to Choose the Best Country for Your Study Abroad Experience

When it comes to studying abroad, many students find themselves facing a whirlwind of questions and uncertainties. Which country will offer the best academic opportunities for my field? Can I afford the cost of living and tuition fees? How easy will it be to adjust to a new culture and language? With so many study destinations available worldwide, choosing the best country for your study abroad experience can feel overwhelming.

In this guide, we’ll address these common questions and help you navigate the factors that will shape one of the most important decisions of your educational journey. From academic goals and cultural fit to visa policies and quality of life, here’s how to ensure your study abroad choice is tailored to your ambitions, budget, and lifestyle.

Identify Your Academic Goals

Each country offers distinct academic strengths, and identifying your goals can narrow down your choices. For example, if you’re interested in engineering, countries like Germany and the United States are known for their strong technical programs. If you’re leaning toward the arts or humanities, Italy and the United Kingdom boast world-renowned institutions in these fields. Research countries that excel in your area of study to find the best fit for your academic and career aspirations.

Consider Language and Cultural Fit

Studying in a foreign country often means embracing a new language and culture. Decide if you’re open to learning a new language or if you prefer an English-speaking country. Countries like the UK, Canada, Australia, and the United States offer a wide range of programs in English, while many European and Asian countries also offer English-taught courses for international students. Consider how comfortable you are with the local culture as well, as this can affect how easily you adjust to your new surroundings.

Evaluate Financial Aspects

Studying abroad comes with costs that vary widely depending on the country. Countries like Germany and Norway offer low or no tuition fees for certain programs, while others, such as the United States and Australia, tend to be on the more expensive side. Look into scholarships, work opportunities, and living expenses in each country to understand what fits your budget. Some countries also allow students to work part-time, which can help offset costs while gaining valuable work experience.

Research the Quality of Life

Living in a new country is about more than just academics. Research factors like healthcare, safety, and student services. European countries like Switzerland and the Netherlands are known for their high quality of life, while countries like Canada and New Zealand consistently rank highly for safety and inclusivity. Consider whether you prefer a bustling city life or a more laid-back environment, and think about the climate and lifestyle that will make your study abroad experience enjoyable and comfortable.

Check Visa and Post-Study Work Opportunities

If you’re interested in working in the country after graduation, look into visa policies and post-study work options. Countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia offer post-graduation work visas that allow students to gain professional experience. Being aware of the country’s visa policies will help you make plans for your future and assess if the country aligns with your career goals.

Explore Cultural and Travel Opportunities

One of the perks of studying abroad is the opportunity to travel and experience new cultures. European countries like France, Spain, and Italy allow easy access to other countries within the region, offering weekend getaways and a variety of cultural experiences. In Asia, countries like Japan, South Korea, and Singapore boast rich histories and vibrant cultural scenes. Choose a country that aligns with your travel interests, whether you’re looking for historical sites, natural beauty, or a vibrant urban lifestyle.

Connect with Current and Past Students

One of the best ways to get a realistic view of studying in a particular country is to connect with current or former students. Many universities have international student forums, and social media platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook are great for reaching out to students who have studied abroad. Ask about their experiences, what they loved about the country, and any challenges they faced.

Choosing the best country for your study abroad experience requires research, planning, and self-reflection. With guidance from Study Abroad Consultants in Kochi, Kerala, and by considering your academic goals, budget, cultural fit, quality of life, visa policies, travel opportunities, and real-life insights from current students, you’ll be well-equipped to make the decision that’s right for you.

Filipino Surveyors & Digital Nomads in Madrid: Navigating Economic Booms & Environmental Health Concerns

The narrative of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) is one of sacrifice, resilience, and a profound contribution to the Philippine economy. From nurses and seafarers to domestic helpers and engineers, Filipinos have sought opportunities abroad for decades, driven by the promise of better wages and a brighter future for their families. This article delves into a specific facet of this complex narrative: the experiences of Filipino surveyors, the burgeoning potential of Madrid as a hub for digital nomad OFWs, and the intersection of economic booms, environmental health concerns, and employment opportunities.

A Look at Filipino Surveyors Abroad

Surveyors play a crucial role in infrastructure development, land management, and urban planning. Filipino surveyors, known for their technical skills and meticulousness, are highly sought after globally. Their work often takes them to diverse and sometimes challenging environments, from the scorching deserts of the Middle East to the bustling metropolises of Asia. While the financial rewards can be substantial, the profession also presents unique challenges. These include adapting to different surveying standards and regulations, navigating cultural differences, and coping with the physical demands of fieldwork, which can involve prolonged periods outdoors and exposure to varying weather conditions. Moreover, access to professional development and career advancement opportunities can be limited for OFW surveyors, hindering their long-term growth within the profession.

Madrid: A Rising Star for Digital Nomad OFWs?

While traditional OFW professions remain prevalent, the rise of the digital economy has opened new avenues for Filipinos seeking work abroad. Madrid, Spain, with its vibrant culture, robust infrastructure, and relatively affordable cost of living compared to other Western European capitals, is emerging as an attractive destination for digital nomad OFWs. The city boasts a thriving startup scene, numerous co-working spaces, and a growing community of international freelancers. Filipino professionals in fields like web development, graphic design, content writing, and online marketing can leverage these resources to establish themselves as digital nomads in Madrid. The city's geographical location also offers easy access to other European countries, further expanding opportunities for travel and collaboration.

However, navigating the legal requirements for working as a digital nomad in Spain requires careful consideration. Visa regulations and tax implications must be thoroughly researched and understood. Additionally, competition within the digital nomad space is fierce, and building a stable client base requires proactive networking and marketing efforts.

Economic Booms and OFW Employment: A Cyclical Relationship

The demand for OFW labor is often linked to economic cycles in host countries. During periods of economic expansion, increased infrastructure projects, booming tourism sectors, and a surge in demand for various services create a greater need for foreign workers. This translates into more job opportunities for OFWs, potentially leading to higher wages and improved working conditions. Conversely, economic downturns can result in job losses, salary reductions, and increased competition for limited positions.

For instance, the construction boom in the Middle East in the early 2000s fueled a massive influx of OFWs, including surveyors and engineers. Similarly, the growth of the caregiving industry in developed countries has created a sustained demand for Filipino nurses and caregivers. Understanding these economic trends and their impact on specific sectors can help OFWs make informed decisions about their career paths and destination countries.

Environmental Health Concerns in OFW Workplaces

A crucial yet often overlooked aspect of the OFW experience is the potential impact of environmental health hazards in their workplaces. Depending on their profession and location, OFWs can be exposed to a range of risks, including extreme temperatures, hazardous chemicals, air and water pollution, and ergonomic hazards. Construction workers, factory workers, and agricultural laborers are particularly vulnerable to these risks. These exposures can have serious long-term health consequences, including respiratory problems, skin diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, and even cancer.

It is essential for OFWs to be aware of the potential environmental health hazards in their chosen profession and to advocate for safe working conditions. Employers have a responsibility to provide adequate safety training, protective equipment, and a healthy work environment. Furthermore, governments and international organizations should collaborate to establish and enforce regulations that protect the health and safety of all migrant workers.

Connecting OFWs to Opportunities: The Role of OFWJobs.org

Finding reliable information and legitimate job opportunities is a critical challenge for many OFWs. Websites like OFWJobs.org play a vital role in connecting Filipino job seekers with employers abroad. These platforms provide a centralized resource for job listings, visa information, and other essential resources for OFWs. They also serve as a platform for sharing experiences and building community among Filipinos working overseas.

Navigating the Future of OFW Work

The landscape of OFW work is constantly evolving. The rise of new technologies, shifting global economic dynamics, and increasing awareness of migrant worker rights are shaping the future of overseas employment for Filipinos. It is crucial for OFWs to be adaptable, resilient, and informed about these changes. Investing in skills development, exploring emerging opportunities in sectors like the digital economy, and advocating for better working conditions are essential strategies for navigating the future of OFW work.

The story of OFWs is one of both triumph and tribulation. Their contributions to the Philippine economy are undeniable, but their journey is often fraught with challenges. By shedding light on the specific experiences of different OFW groups, exploring emerging opportunities, and addressing critical issues like environmental health concerns, we can work towards a future where the sacrifices of OFWs are met with greater support, recognition, and protection.

Why Does This Matter?

This shift towards skill-based education equips students with the tools they need to succeed in the global job market, making them more competitive and better prepared for future career challenges.

4. Increased International Student Enrollments

Another trend to watch is the surge in international student enrollments in tier-2 and tier-3 cities in India, as well as the increasing number of students from these regions exploring study abroad options. Cities like Vizag, Guntur, and Vijayawada have witnessed a growing interest in international education, reflecting the rising aspirations of students from smaller towns.

Why Does This Matter?

The expansion of international education opportunities beyond major metropolitan areas opens new pathways for students, creating a more equitable and widespread access to global education. This trend helps bridge the educational divide, allowing talented individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue their dreams.

5. Rise in Student Counseling Support

Studying abroad can be a complex and overwhelming process, but recent trends show a growing focus on providing comprehensive student counseling and support services. Foreign education consultants and student counselors are becoming essential in guiding students through everything from selecting the right program to navigating visa applications and managing cultural adjustments.

How Does Guidance Lead to Higher Success Rates?

These countries include Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein.

There are four main types of Schengen visas, each catering to different travel needs. The Uniform Schengen Visa (USV) is the most common, allowing for short stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, business, or family visits. The Limited Territorial Validity Visa (LTV) is restricted to specific Schengen countries and is issued in cases where the applicant cannot meet the requirements for a USV. The National Visa is issued for long-term stays exceeding 90 days for purposes such as work, study, or family reunion, allowing holders to stay in one Schengen country. Lastly, the Airport Transit Visa is required for travelers transiting through Schengen airports without entering the Schengen Area. Is Schengen Visa Open from India? As of now, the Schengen visa application process from India is open, though travelers should verify current conditions and travel advisories due to potential changes in regulations. Indian citizens can apply for a Schengen visa through the consulates or embassies of the Schengen countries they plan to visit or through their official visa application centers. It is essential to check for any updated requirements or restrictions that might affect travel plans. What Is the Cost of a Schengen Visa? The cost of a Schengen visa varies depending on the type and age of the applicant. For a standard short-stay Schengen visa, the fee is generally around €80 for adults and €40 for children aged 6 to 12. Certain categories of applicants, such as those applying for a long-term visa or those falling under specific exemptions, might face different fees. It's important to check with the relevant consulate or visa center for the exact amount and any additional service charges. Why Is It Called a Schengen Visa? The Schengen visa is named after the Schengen Agreement, signed in 1985 in the village of Schengen in Luxembourg. This agreement aimed to create a borderless travel area among its signatory countries, facilitating easier movement across European nations. The visa itself is a reflection of this agreement, allowing holders to travel freely within the Schengen Area without encountering internal border controls. What 5 Countries Are Not in Schengen? While the Schengen Area includes many European countries, some notable exceptions are the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Croatia. The United Kingdom and Ireland opted out of the Schengen Agreement, maintaining their own border controls. Romania, Bulgaria, and Croatia are EU member states but have not yet fully implemented the Schengen rules, though they are expected to join the Schengen Area in the future. Who Is Eligible for a Schengen Visa? Eligibility for a Schengen visa typically requires that applicants meet several criteria. They must have a valid passport, provide proof of travel insurance, demonstrate sufficient financial means to cover their stay, and show evidence of travel arrangements. Applicants must also demonstrate the purpose of their visit, such as tourism, business, or family reunification. Additionally, they should not have a history of immigration violations or criminal activities. Which Schengen Visa Is Hardest? The difficulty of obtaining a Schengen visa can vary based on individual circumstances and the specific country of application. However, generally speaking, visas from countries with stringent entry requirements or those known for high visa refusal rates might be considered more challenging to obtain. Countries such as Germany and France, due to their popularity and high application volumes, may have more rigorous scrutiny processes compared to others. What Is the Minimum Bank Balance for a Schengen Visa? There is no fixed minimum bank balance requirement for a Schengen visa, as the necessary amount can vary depending on the country of application and the applicant's planned length of stay. Generally, applicants should demonstrate sufficient funds to cover their travel and accommodation expenses during their stay. As a guideline, having a balance that covers at least €50 to €100 per day of the stay is often recommended, but exact requirements should be verified with the specific embassy or consulate.

How to Choose Right Study Abroad Program

Studying abroad is an exciting opportunity that offers more than just academic growth; it fosters personal development, cultural immersion, and global networking. However, choosing the right study abroad program can be overwhelming, given the vast array of options. This guide will walk you through the critical factors to consider when selecting a study abroad program that aligns with your goals, needs, and interests.

1. Identify Your Academic and Career Goals

The first step in choosing a study abroad program is identifying your academic and career aspirations. Ask yourself what you aim to achieve from studying abroad. Are you looking to:

Gain specialized knowledge in a particular field?

Develop skills that enhance your career prospects?

Broaden your perspective in a global context?

For instance, if you're a business student seeking international exposure, you might want to consider MBA programs in countries with strong economies like the U.S., U.K., or Singapore. On the other hand, students interested in environmental studies may benefit from programs in countries like Norway or Australia, known for their commitment to sustainability.

 Tips:

Look for programs with a curriculum tailored to your academic goals.

Seek faculty who are experts in your area of study.

Consider the opportunities for internships, practical training, and networking in your chosen field.

2. Choose the Right Destination

The location of your study abroad program is more than just a backdrop to your education; it can significantly influence your overall experience. Factors such as culture, language, lifestyle, and career opportunities should play a role in your decision.

Cultural Immersion

If cultural exploration is a priority, choose a country that aligns with your interests. Europe offers a rich tapestry of cultures within close proximity, while Asia presents a unique fusion of ancient traditions and modern innovations. Latin American countries provide vibrant cultural experiences, often in more budget-friendly environments.

Language

If learning or improving a foreign language is one of your goals, immerse yourself in a country where that language is spoken. For example, Spanish learners may consider programs in Spain or Latin America, while French speakers could look at France or French-speaking regions of Canada.

Career Opportunities

Certain countries are known for offering strong post-graduation career prospects in specific fields. For example, Germany is a hub for engineering and automotive industries, while the U.S. and U.K. offer expansive opportunities in finance, technology, and healthcare. Study in Australia for International Students and Study in Canada for International students also have favorable policies for international students seeking post-graduation work visas.

Tips:

Research the local culture, cost of living, and safety.

Consider the language of instruction and whether language barriers might affect your experience.

Look into the country’s visa policies and work opportunities during and after studies.

3. Evaluate the Academic Structure

Different countries have varying academic structures and teaching styles. Some education systems may focus heavily on theoretical knowledge, while others emphasize practical skills and independent learning. Understanding how a country’s educational philosophy aligns with your learning style can make a big difference.

Flexibility vs. Structure

In some countries, such as the U.S., students have the flexibility to choose their courses and explore various subjects before specializing. In contrast, programs in countries like Germany or the U.K. might have a more structured approach, where students are expected to focus on their specific field from the outset.

Academic Resources and Facilities

Make sure to research the academic resources available at your prospective institution. Libraries, research facilities, labs, and digital resources can play a crucial role in enriching your academic journey.

 Tips:

Consider your preferred learning style (e.g., lecture-based vs. hands-on).

Research whether the program’s structure supports your academic goals.

Check if the university offers strong academic advising and student support services.

4. Consider Program Duration and Timing

Study abroad programs vary in length, from a few weeks during the summer to a full academic year or more. The ideal program duration will depend on your personal circumstances, such as your academic schedule, career plans, and financial considerations.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Programs

Short-Term Programs: These are typically summer programs or semester-long exchanges. They are perfect for students looking for a quick international experience without committing to long-term stays. However, short programs may offer limited academic depth and cultural immersion.

Long-Term Programs: A full academic year or multi-year programs offer more substantial opportunities for academic growth, language acquisition, and cultural integration. Long-term stays also allow you to build a more comprehensive professional network.

 Tips:

Consider your academic calendar and how a study abroad program fits within it.

Decide whether you prefer a short, intensive experience or a longer, more immersive one.

Check if credits earned abroad will transfer to your home institution.

5. Financial Considerations

Studying abroad can be costly, but with proper planning, you can manage your budget and find a program that fits your financial situation. Start by calculating the overall cost of the program, including tuition fees, living expenses, travel, and additional costs like insurance and visa fees.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Many study abroad programs offer scholarships, grants, or financial aid for international students. Research all available options, including merit-based scholarships, need-based grants, and country-specific funding programs.

Cost of Living

The cost of living varies significantly from country to country. For example, studying in cities like New York or London will likely be more expensive than studying in smaller towns or countries with a lower cost of living, such as Poland or Thailand.

 Tips:

Look for programs that offer scholarships or financial aid.

Calculate the total cost of living and compare it to your home country.

Consider part-time work opportunities and post-graduation employment options.

6. Accreditation and Reputation

The reputation and accreditation of the institution you choose will have a long-term impact on your career. It’s essential to verify that your chosen university is accredited and recognized globally.

University Rankings

While rankings shouldn’t be the sole factor in your decision, they can provide insight into a university’s reputation, academic quality, and resources. Some well-known ranking systems include QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education, and U.S. News & World Report.

Program-Specific Accreditation

If you’re pursuing a specialized field, ensure that the program is accredited by relevant professional bodies. For example, MBA programs should be accredited by organizations like AACSB, AMBA, or EQUIS.

 Tips:

Verify the accreditation status of the university.

Research the institution’s global reputation and ranking in your field.

Look for alumni success stories to gauge the long-term value of the program.

7. Seek Student Support and Extracurricular Opportunities

Adjusting to life in a new country can be challenging, so it’s important to choose a program that offers robust student support services. This includes orientation programs, academic advising, and counseling services. Additionally, extracurricular activities such as clubs, sports, and cultural trips can enrich your experience and help you build lifelong friendships.

Tips:

Look for programs with strong international student support.

Consider the availability of social and cultural activities.

Explore opportunities to engage with local communities and other international students.

Conclusion

Choosing the right study abroad program requires thoughtful consideration of your academic goals, personal preferences, financial situation, and long-term career aspirations. By researching and evaluating each aspect of the program—from location and academic structure to financial aid and student support—you can find the perfect fit that will lead to a fulfilling and transformative international experience.

A well-chosen study abroad program can be the gateway to a brighter future, equipping you with the skills, knowledge, and global perspective needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world. Take your time, do your research, and make a choice that will serve your personal and professional goals for years to come.
