Future-Focused Friday: Best Articles, Videos, Photos, and More of 2020

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. ✈️
We're wrapping up 2020 with a look back at the videos, photos, articles, and blogs you loved most. Like our Pop of Color 🌈 edition of our Future-Focused Friday newsletter that popped up at the top of the charts, and the list of 5 study abroad videos to help you destress that resonated big time (#2020mood). And waaaay back at the beginning of the year, you joined us in celebrating our big win 🥇 as the only study abroad provider named on both GoAbroad and GoOverseas' best of lists. We're still humbled by the student reviews that got us there.🙏
Ready for the rest of best of the best? Us too.
