Call Overseas with Yolla while Studying Abroad

February 6, 2017December 13, 2019

In our multicultural and fast-living world studying abroad may bring only the very best experience to a student’s life. Today going abroad to study is not sophisticated: students have multiple opportunities in each university to choose from on where to go, what to learn, how much time to spend abroad etc. If you are enrolled at a university at home, it’s possible to participate in an international student exchange program for a semester or even the whole year. In particular, in Europe, there’s a famous Erasmus Mundus foundation which helps to become an exchange and even gives out scholarships! Millions of students do Erasmus each year and we recommend not to miss a chance to be one of them. Additionally, you may go on summer education abroad programs – who knows, maybe you’ve been dreaming of learning Italian, why not to start next summer?

Thanks to Gregorian calendar Western Hemisphere will step into a new 2017 year and a new life this Saturday when we all will be celebrating New Year’s Eve. However, while the most of us will be sipping champagne, dancing and having a great time with friends and family, the rest of the world will be waiting for their turn to say goodbye to 2016 as some cultures are accustomed to New Year taking place at an absolutely different time. For instance, Chinese and Vietnamese New Year is going to be late-January this time, some other cultures which follow the Julian lunar calendar will be celebrating in mid-January, while the Jewish Rosh Hashanah is in autumn.

Fighting Homesickness: Call Family Abroad, Find Friends and More

December 15, 2016December 12, 2019

Why do people move overseas? Sometimes it’s for work, sometimes it’s to study and some people want to gain new experience and see the world while they still can. What unites these people is that they are supposed to enjoy their new lives more – well, mostly – than the ones they used to live. Busy building their lives from scratch in a new environment, they almost never feel homesick.

Another expat category includes relatives who moved overseas because of their families – spouses, children or even parents. And, in general, moving abroad is not their own initial decision. They did that not to leave the people they love behind or because they had no choice and therefore tend to miss home much more.
