1 . After a tour of duty in Afghanistan, Benjamin Blume began to attend Sam Houston State University, USA but he felt there was something missing. That all changed when Blume attended a study program abroad. With the help of the staff at the Office of International Programs and the Veterans Resource Center (退伍老兵资源中心), he was able to take seven study trips abroad, visiting 19 countries in just three years.
Blume's first stop was Leipzig, Germany for a German language program in the summer of 2018. Later that summer，Blume visited Australia as part of the stars and galaxy (星系) course. "There was a major eclipse (日食) in Australia that summer and it was an amazing thing to see," Blume said. "We also visited Wyoming after leaving Australia for the same course to see the sky."
In the fall of 2018, Blume took off again, this time visiting Bern, Switzerland for a business course. Blume returned for the 2019 spring term before his next adventure that summer in Tokyo for a month-long economics trip. "Tokyo was quite the experience and like nothing I had seen before," Blume said. "I had never experienced so much culture and history as I did there."
Blume went from Tokyo back to Germany, this time visiting Aachen for an economics program. After returning to the U.S. and staying for a month, Blume travelled to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for a three-week marketing program. Finally, Blume took his seventh and last study abroad trip to Auckland, New Zealand. "New Zealand was probably my favorite place to visit because the landscape is so diverse." Blume added. "One day we hiked a glacier, which I had never done. I also got to see where The Habbit films were made."
