I went on my first international trip outside of North America in 2015, the week following my college graduation.\n\u00a0\nI knew I was going to have fun and I was excited to explore Europe but I didn\u2019t realize how much it would change my perspective on life.\n\u00a0\nI\u2019ve been prioritizing traveling ever since then and it\u2019s one of the few universal suggestions I encourage other people to try. One person who needs no encouragement is today\u2019s guest, Sydney Summerlin.\n\u00a0\nFrom a young age, you could find her traveling the globe. At first, Sydney\u2019s mom accompanied her on most of these trips. Now, she does a lot of traveling solo or with her twin sister.\n\u00a0\nOne of the most impressive characteristics of Sydney is her emotional intelligence. Her open-mindedness, empathy, and curiosity are obvious. I\u2019m guessing all of her traveling helped refine these qualities.\n\u00a0\nIn this episode, we\u2019ll be talking about traveling along with Sydney\u2019s quest into healthcare where she is planning on working in pediatric oncology.\n\u00a0\nShow Notes:\n[2:14] Why everyone should consider traveling\n[11:07] What did Sydney learn from other international healthcare systems\n[32:05] Learning to listen and empathize\n[39:17] Staying positive while applying to med school\n\u00a0\nMore of Sydney:\nInstagram: @syd_with_a_y\n\u00a0\nMore of TSIR:\nFind show notes and more at https://www.tsirpodcast.com/\nFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tsirpod/","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/13346c3e-c97a-437e-abe6-a3d82a014c3c/cover-art-2022-10-09t230751026b9inw.png"}
