This was one of the most common pieces of advice. “You are mature enough to go on your own and immature enough to learn from others,” explains Shikhar Agarwal, a young computer engineer living in Silicon Valley. “You don’t have family obligations and are carefree. Use this time to meet different people, live with them, and understand their thoughts and culture; go backpacking and learn how to survive independently in a new place.”

We learn through struggling. Push yourself to struggle with language, customs, foods, and arts.”
