Get out of your comfort zone: Studying in Ukraine gave me the opportunity to explore that gray area of our lives called ‘The Comfort Zone’. It brought me out of my nest at Medical State Ternopil and into a culture of new attitudes, values and beliefs. At times it was unbelievably frustrating, but the friends I made in Ukraine helped me through the lows. And then they were there with me for the highs! It was an extremely rewarding experience accentuated by the fact that, by the end of my stay, I had eaten frites and kebab for five months.
