She describes herself as independent, empathetic and creative. But also someone who can feel overwhelmed in new environments and busy social situations, and who needs to find the right balance between activity and rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">When she heard about the opportunity to join a short Erasmus+ group mobility in M\u00e1laga, she didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cI signed up straight away,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved traveling and new cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A first step abroad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trip lasted just a few days, but it turned out to be much more than that. Short mobilities like this are designed as an accessible first experience abroad: traveling in a group, with guidance, and in a safe environment. For Kia, it became exactly that. A first step that opened the door to more. Before leaving, she felt nervous. Speaking English and flying were the biggest challenges. Still, she decided to go with an open mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feeling at ease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That nervousness quickly faded. \u201cOn the first day, when we met everyone and they were all so kind, I realized I didn\u2019t need to be nervous.\u201d What stayed with her most was the people. \u201cEveryone was so open and welcoming. It felt like you could just be yourself, no one judged you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stepping outside her comfort zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One moment in particular stayed with her. During the project, Kia found the courage to speak English in front of a group. \u201cI spoke quite a lot, actually,\u201d she says. \u201cI felt like I really pushed myself. I was so proud.\u201d For someone who can find new social situations challenging, this was a big step. It showed her she is capable of more than she thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growing in self-confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the trip, something shifted. \u201cNow I feel more confident speaking English and talking to new people,\u201d she explains. \u201cI also trust myself more.\u201d The experience didn\u2019t stop there. It gave her the confidence to take another step: she has already signed up for a new international experience &#8211; a group exchange in Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding your own balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kia also discovered what works for her. While she enjoyed meeting others, she needed time alone to recharge. \u201cIt\u2019s important to sometimes be by yourself,\u201d she says. Walking around the city alone, listening to music and exploring at her own pace helped her feel comfortable and grounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Her message is simple:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Even if it feels scary &#8211; just go.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id9245_1d4c09-e2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id9245_1d4c09-e2 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id9245_1d4c09-e2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id9245_1d4c09-e2{border-top-left-radius:30px;border-top-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-left-radius:30px;overflow:clip;isolation:isolate;}.kb-row-layout-id9245_1d4c09-e2 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{border-top-left-radius:30px;border-top-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-left-radius:30px;}.kb-row-layout-id9245_1d4c09-e2 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id9245_1d4c09-e2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id9245_1d4c09-e2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id9245_1d4c09-e2 alignnone has-theme-palette2-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column9245_6b2da8-82 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column9245_6b2da8-82 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column9245_6b2da8-82 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column9245_6b2da8-82 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column9245_6b2da8-82{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column9245_6b2da8-82 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column9245_6b2da8-82 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column9245_6b2da8-82\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Her advice for students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kia encourages other students, especially those who feel unsure, to take that first step:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items9245_ef5bed-b2:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items9245_ef5bed-b2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items9245_ef5bed-b2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items9245_ef5bed-b2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items9245_ef5bed-b2 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items9245_ef5bed-b2 kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\"><style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-9245_bc5230-7a .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-9245_bc5230-7a\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_checkCircle kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M22 11.08V12a10 10 0 1 1-5.93-9.14\"\/><polyline points=\"22 4 12 14.01 9 11.01\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Be brave and speak up.
