4 . 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 US 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 before. I also got to see where The Hobbit films were made.”

7 . There are thousands of incredible trails that allow us to get up close to nature and here are 4 of the best hiking trails in the world.
Pennine Way, the United Kingdom
Stretching 268 miles from the Derbyshire Peak District to the Scottish Borders, the Pennine Way is the United Kingdom’s most famous long-distance path. The entire walk takes around three weeks, passing over wild east of Manchester and through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, before crossing the ancient border of Hadrian’s Wall and moving on toward Scotland.
Camino de Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Rather than following a single path, the Camino, also known as the Way of St James, is actually a series of different pilgrimage (朝圣) routes. The most popular modern route follows a line across northern Spain from the French Pyrenees. While some choose to stay at monasteries (修道院) along the way, plenty of operators offer hotel stays and luggage transfers.
Appalachian Trail, the United States
Extending for 2,200 miles, the Appalachian Trail is billed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world. It runs from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine, passing through some of the most remote places in the United States. Those keen on comfort can use companies like Go Shenandoah, which offers pre-booked accommodation and packed lunches.
The Basho Wayfarer, Japan
This self-guided trip follows a route taken by the poet Matsuo Basho over 300 years ago. The six-day hike starts in Sendai and works its way through the northern Toboku region, passing through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hiraizumi and along the ancient Dewa Kaido path, with its wonderful forests, before heading into the mountains of Natagiri-toge and finishing at the temple of Yamadera.

8 . With its Victorian charm and windswept beauty, Block Island appeals to both outdoorsy travelers who want to hike, bike, boat and explore and to those who simply want to abandon reality back on the mainland.
See Mohegan Bluffs
As dramatic as any scenery in New England, the Mohegan Bluffs are 150-foot clay cliffs on the south side of Block Island. Unforgettable Atlantic Ocean views await those who descend a wooden staircase more than 140 steps to the sliver of sand below. The only protection you’ll need when you go to this spot is sunscreen.

Climb to the Top of Southeast Light
Block Island’s Southeast Light seemed doomed to fall into the sea. Erosion threatened this 1874 brick beacon until it was safely moved inland in 1993. The lighthouse’s small museum is open free to the public between Memorial Day weekend and the second Monday in October, and for a fee, you can often venture to the top of the tower on a tour: the 360-degree island views are worth it.

Paddle the Great Salt Pond
To fully appreciate Block Island’s ecological wonders, you’ll want to get out on the water. Pond and Beyond Kayak offers two-and-a-half-hour small group ecotours of the Great Salt Pond that are perfect for even inexperienced paddlers. You’ll be able to ask questions and hear local insights, in addition to spying on wildlife and oyster farms.
