When Tiffany Pogue' 23 studied abroad in Madrid, Spain, she discovered just how far life could take her. The psychology graduate, who grew up with family in the Philippines and Switzerland, says she has long known that "life is not just here." Today, she has traded the Gulf Coast's humid heat for the long, snowy winters of Finland, crediting her time abroad with expanding her sense of what is possible. "It made me realize that you can literally do whatever you want in the world; the only thing that limits us is our mind."
