In a year when we all felt grounded (literally)—like it was the longest layover of our lives!—stories from abroad kept spirits in flight. āœˆļø

We're wrapping up 2020 with a look back at the videos, photos, articles, and blogs you loved most. Like ourĀ Pop of Color 🌈 edition of our Future-Focused Friday newsletterĀ that popped up at the top of the charts, and the list ofĀ 5 study abroad videos to help you destressĀ that resonated big time (#2020mood). And waaaay back at the beginning of the year, you joined us in celebrating our big win šŸ„‡ as the onlyĀ study abroad provider named on both GoAbroad and GoOverseas' best of lists. We're still humbled by the student reviews that got us there.šŸ™

Ready for the rest of best of the best? Us too.

OurĀ anti-racismĀ reading listĀ andĀ theseĀ 5 Incredible Student Videos About Diversity While AbroadĀ had you learning and listening, as we stood together on the path toward progress.

You dug into the honesty of bloggers sharing personal stories ofĀ navigating the impact of COVID-19 on their study abroad programs.Ā 

Throughout the year you voted for your favoriteĀ "This or That" travel preferencesĀ in IG stories, gave your best guesses to ourĀ Word of the Week translationsĀ (check out today's storyĀ to see if you remember some of the translations!), and double tapped our hearts full. Check out some of this year's most liked posts on Instagram:
