South America, The All Year Holiday Destination

Edit Article |

Posted: Sep 13, 2010 |Comments: 0

If you’re looking to enjoy a holiday outside of the usual tourist seasons and are considering somewhere like South America, you could be worried that you won’t find the great experience you’re looking for – but you shouldn’t be. The continent of South America is an excellent holiday destination and, with a climate that varies greatly from the north to the south, one that can be enjoyed all year round. This bounteous land is packed with excitement and thrilling things to do and see, from the chance to take to the waters of the Amazon to tackle the peaks of Patagonia.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy lively nightlife as well as days on the beaches, then somewhere like Brazil could be just what you’re looking for. South America is home to such a variety of attractions that you’re sure to find somewhere to suit, no matter what your preferred holiday style.

For example, surrounded by the Caribbean, South Pacific and South Atlantic Ocean, you can rest assured that there are many fantastic beaches to enjoy in South America. Brazil’s north-eastern region is particularly good for beaches, and if you’re hoping to see a truly amazing stretch of sand then El Agua in Venezuala is a must see.

If you’re after a cooler air and some adrenaline boosting activities, then skiing in South America’s Andes mountain range could be just the thrill for you. Best enjoyed during the summer months, the slopes of Argentina and Chile are ideal for any keen snowboarders or skiers who are hoping to enjoy an active holiday.

Activities that don’t involve snow are also easy to come by, including seeing many exotic animals up close on the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador or the national park of Bolivia. If you’re a history buff, you’ll love a trek to Machu Picchu in Peru, where you’ll find ancient Incan ruins, but if it’s a party atmosphere you’re in search of then a trip to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or Buenos Aires in Argentina is sure to satisfy.

One of the best things about South America is something that lasts the whole year – its musicality and welcoming atmosphere. The continent is home to many musical styles, but what all of the countries share is a lively spirit and the willingness to include travellers. Those booking flights to South America are sure to find a fabulous holiday waiting for them, whatever time of year they are travelling.

Students desiring an enriched educational experience and expanded perspective on the world are well served spending a year or semester abroad at a university in New Zealand, Australia or Fiji. In addition to the personal benefits of such an incredible opportunity, spending a semester or the full school year abroad is an impressive addition to a graduate school application or resume. The global perspective gained by the experience affords students a leg up in future endeavors.

Enrolling in a Year or Semester Abroad Program

Enrolling for a single semester or entire school year abroad is much like enrolling at a university in the United States and Canada. After deciding upon a program that best fits their educational goals, students begin the application and enrollment process. Once accepted at a university in New Zealand, Australia or Fiji, class selection may begin. Credits earned at most universities in Fiji, New Zealand and Australia are easily transferred to a student’s home university. Consulting with a college advisor to confirm the transferability of credits earned during a year or semester abroad is advised.

Advantages of a Year or Semester Abroad in New Zealand, Australia or Fiji

Students find there are numerous advantages to selecting the South Pacific to study abroad. Among the most notable are :

• English is a primary language. – There are no language barriers involved when attending school in the South Pacific. Many students feel one of the most significant advantages of studying abroad in Australia, New Zealand or Fiji is that English is spoken in and out of their class rooms. It is not necessary to undertake intensive foreign language study prior to embarking on a semester or school year abroad.

• Cultural immersion is a perspective broadening experience. – One of the most striking aspects of studying abroad for a year or even just a semester is really getting a sense of the people and cultures in the host nation. Living on campus or exploring the surrounding region provides many opportunities to meet those living in-country or visiting from other nations. Students share food, dance and cultural events that make these South Pacific countries unique. After getting to know people of Australia, New Zealand or Fiji and exploring the region, students acquire the unique understanding and perspective of global citizens. Many students find the experience provides them with an new awareness and appreciation of our global society.

• Explore the region while broadening your education. – Whether students spend one semester or the entire school year abroad in Australia or the neighboring countries, there are ample opportunities to explore the region. Students find the educational benefits studying abroad are not limited to the classroom.

ez2url.com This is such a incredible coincidence to be able to actually see this in the expanse of the Pacific Ocean! The yacht ‘Maiken’ is traveling in the south Pacific when they came across a weird sight… It was sand in the water and floating ON TOP of the waves… This is not a beach, it is volcanic stones floating on the water. And then this was spotted… ash and steam rising from the ocean… And, while they were watching… A brand new island formed… Pretty wild, huh?
