Do<\/strong> be prepared to spend 2x as much money as you think, it is expensive and you’ll want to do things and take tours<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do <\/strong>make sure to communicate well with both your boss and your “handler” about what your needs about the position and what you hope to get out of your stay<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do <\/strong>get out! Go do something, it might be pricy but you’ll regret not exploring<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do <\/strong>get an international phone plan, less for messaging but using maps has made me able to get around on my own so easily<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do<\/strong> check in with people, it is nice to stay in touch with family and friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do<\/strong> build a routine similar to home, I have started climbing here to try and stay fit<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t <\/strong>go somewhere unless you know at least two ways to get home, I always make sure there is a backup way to get home in case my primary isn’t available<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t <\/strong>think you have to do everything a certain way, it is much more relaxing to do things as they come. Most weekends I go into town with no plans and figure something out<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t <\/strong>get offended if people unload frustrations about America on you<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t <\/strong>overdo it, you have time. Make sure that you take time for yourself so you can recenter however you do<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do’s Do be prepared to spend 2x as much money as you think, it is expensive and you’ll want to do things and take tours Do make sure to communicate well with both your boss and your “handler” about what your needs about the position and what you hope to get out of your stay […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12597,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12597"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18\/revisions\/19"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/powerscourt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Don’ts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
