# Study Travel. A whirlwind of emotions. Source: https://eazycity-staging.flyingweb.design/news/study-travel-an-explosion-of-emotions/ What are the emotions we experience when we go abroad to study? When I travelled to Ireland to study English in my early 20s, for sure I experienced curiosity, excitement, anxiety, fear, happiness, freedom. I started feeling alive the moment I planed the trip to Dublin. Now that I am no longer a student and I co founded EazyCity I often find myself thinking about all the students and young professionals we welcome on a weekly basis, their emotions and what it actually means to them going abroad to study for the first time. After almost 20 years in the Language Travel sector I can easily say that **studying abroad encourages the development of:** - Self-esteem - Language and communication skills - Sense of adaptability - Human interactions - Emotional Intelligence - New skills To confirm this, however, is a scientific research, which compared the scores relating to the self-esteem of some sixteen-year-olds who left for a year of study abroad, with those of their peers who had not left. Upon their return, the students showed much higher levels of self-esteem than those of their peers.

If you wish to apply for 2023 EazyCity Scholarship click on the link above but before we invite you to watch the video interview of the 2022 Scholarship winners. We asked the students who won the Felice Veneziani Scholarship in 2022 to share their study abroad experience from an emotional point of view. The interview is in Italian but you can visit our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsgGZd47XtwVgMncDAOYr0w) to watch other interviews [here](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsgGZd47XtwVgMncDAOYr0w) written by Enrico Zoppi – Co Founder EazyCity **Note:** Felice Veneziani is the grandfather of Enrico Zoppi. I wanted to create a scholarship in honour of my grandfather to remember this fundamental figure in my personal and professional path.
