Hello, I’m Derly Syahputra, a fifth-semester student of the English Education program. This blog was created as a platform to store and document my experiences, especially during my time as an exchange student at Capiz State University in the Philippines, This experience has provided me with valuable lessons, both academically and in everyday life abroad. 

Through this blog, I want to share stories, knowledge, and materials that I’ve learned during my time in the Philippines. This blog also serves as a space to gather resources that I can later use for academic references or reports. I hope that, in addition to being a learning tool for me, this blog will provide new insights and inspiration for readers interested in international education and studying abroad.

Thank you for visiting this blog, and happy reading!
