This blog will take you through my journey in Asia and will mainly focus on my personal development and experiences along the road. I will study abroad for 20 weeks in total, starting off with the first 10 weeks in Bali, Indonesia, continuing and finishing in Bangkok, Thailand. Originally I am from the Netherlands with an Indonesian background, I started studying 3 years ago in the Netherlands at the Stenden University in Leeuwarden. The study is called IBMS, International Business and Management Studies and therefor I need to study at least a half year abroad to develop my international competencies. Moreover, I choose these two locations because I would like to gain more knowledge about the Asian culture, beliefs, habits etc. and because of the arranged facilities Stenden offers. I will follow the minor Event Management 1 in Bali which is mostly focussing on the theoretical part of learning. At last, I will end my minor in Bangkok, Event Management 2 which will cover the practical parts of learning.
