Ed Abroad Tip #2: Don't Rely on English!
When traveling in a foreign country, make it your goal to learn at least a few everyday phrases in the local tongue. Even so much as "Hello," "Thank You," and "Good Bye" can go a long way in showing your hosts that you appreciate their culture and are humbly trying to learn from them.
Studying abroad can make you professionally competitive in the future, but only if you have skills to show for you it... (Hint hint, foreign language proficiency!).
*STORY TIME...*
Ed went traveling through Asia only knowing how to say "burrito" and "Arriba, Speedy Gonzales!" in a foreign language. Besides offending a lot of people, he got himself in a LOT of pickles: he missed the bus, got really lost, called a woman a "horse" and even almost ate DOG INTESTINES.
Take it from Ed here. Had he taken just an hour or two to memorize a few key phrases, he would've had a less stressful abroad experience.
"You're what the French call les incompétents."
Studying in France is popular because it's hard to be unhappy in the land of croissants. But it's easy to make mistakes that could affect your experience, so plan ahead to avoid them.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.

Ed Abroad Tip #1: Avoid Over Planning
Rome wasn't built in a day - why should you attempt to witness the wonders of an entire city in a day? Avoid jam-packing your schedule with activities so tight that you'll need to squeeze in bathroom breaks and brief moments to Instagram your selfies. In short: take your time soaking in a city. Don't race from sight to sight to sight just to suddenly realize you've actually seen nothing.
As Lisa Harvey puts it, "No matter how many times you go over that impeccable timetable or made sure you set your alarm on AM not PM, your travel plans will go wrong. Accepting it is the first step. Bouncing back is the next."
Take it from Ed here. He was so exhausted from planning the logistics of the fun that he didn't really have any.
