New lockdown restrictions in the UK, global travel bans and a halting of education in the majority of Western European, North American and South American countries. Studying abroad (or even leaving your house for that matter) can feel like a far-away experience, but Zaim is here to remind us of what studying abroad can feel like, along with the challenges you're likely to face on the way.

Zaim is a current undergraduate at Lancaster University who moved from Malaysia, his home country, after his high-school years and as a result of attending an international college. Education isn't his only focus, however, and he is currently in the midsts of directing his first film production to be shown at the Malaysian Student Film Festival in March.
