One group of college students is embarking on an international adventure to find themselves, framed by a filmmaker at odds with his own past. Theyre leaving behind the comforts of their lives in the United States to spend five weeks as foreigners studying abroad throughout Italy. While some are seasoned travelers, others have never stepped out of their state lines, let alone the country.

There’s Leslie, an undeclared sophomore, who has never traveled alone or abroad and has no idea what to do with her life. While Leslie may be starting up her college career, Ansley is winding it down, completing her final two courses here before starting work in the fall. Matt, a first time world traveler and agnostic, is leaving home and his girlfriend behind, while John, a devout Catholic who struggles with a modern romance, is reconciling his place in a world at odds with his religious beliefs. Together, these four young adults, mired between the age of innocent youth and adult responsibility, are discovering a destination that Henry Miller described as ‘…never a place, but a new way of seeing things.’

JamesWorks Entertainment presents Di Passaggio, a Professor Pauper production, directed by James Kicklighter (That Guy: the Legacy of Dub Taylor), based on the journals of Preston Johnson and Scott Singleton, featuring Leslie Beard, Ansley Brackett, John DiPietro, and Matthew Kines. J. Michael Moncrief (The Legend of Bagger Vance) is the narrator. The producers are Kicklighter and Mark Ezra Stokes. The executive producer is Brian Holt. The consulting producer is Michael Cardillo. The associate producers are Jonathan Pope and Gareth Jones. The original score is from Bruce Kiesling.

Why dont you come to India for your further education. Its a beautiful country.

What is the best country to study abroad in for a high school student during the summer?
Question Details: Please share any input reguarding past experiences in a perticular country or countries and information on the people, food, and enviroment. Im an extremely flexible person and will eat anything you put in front of me. I would very much prefer to have at least some if not extensive teachings on such country’s language and culture. Thanks a ton!

I’ve studied abroad (year after high school) in Germany and (now) in Poland.

Germany is pretty Westernized. Most western European countries are very American and the food is relatively similar to American. I liked Germany when I was there, but the area I was in, the people were very cold. It’s a gorgeous country, though. German is not such an easy language, but almost everyone knows English. It’s also really close to a number of different countries, if you wanted to travel a little.

Poland is very different. I ate pig’s blood a few days ago (which is totally normal here). The people here are really nice, but in Warsaw people don’t smile as much. There’s been a lot of problems in Poland because of Germany and (former) Soviet Union and a lot of people have the ‘we’re victims’ kinda mentality. But people are usually up for a good party or a nice walk.

I honestly liked Poland better than Germany, but where you should go depends on what you’re interested in.

I’ve travelled to various other countries (France, England, Ireland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, etc.) but didn’t get as much of a view of the people. Switzerland and Austria are similar to Germany. Czech Republic is similar to Poland. England is really English. If you have more questions about Poland or Germany, I’d be glad to answer more specific questions more in detail.

Everyone thinks of a career that gives them all what they need, in return for their skills and expertise, but how about a profession where in one has to love and care for an absolute stranger, A job; where one should selflessly care for a total stranger, who is in pain and agony. Yes it is the noble profession of Nursing, which has changed lives of many Indian nurses who work abroad, they have dedicated themselves to this profession, leaving their families and loved ones,

working in foreign countries. It is true that they earn handsome salaries working abroad when compared to salaries what they earn in home country. Though nursing started as profession in England but today India has literally become the production hub for the world that supplies qualified and skilled Nurses to the International community. Nurses from India have overcome all barriers of culture, language, food, race, and ethnicity and have spread across continents.

They are greeted with great love, compassion and respect, offering them citizenship and permanent residence status with salaries at par to other professionals in the medical fraternity. A Nurse in the European countries would earn their annual Indian salary in one month, that’s what makes this profession attractive for many of the new generation nurses who have joined those several hundred institutions that offer nursing programs across India.

The most number of nurses come from south India, especially from state of Kerala, which is considered to be the production hub of well-qualified and skilled Nurses. Nursing profession has changed life of many Nurses and this was possible after the acceptance of Indian Nurses across the developed countries which had exceptional healthcare system.

This success of nurses have set-off a trend of bringing up the females into Nursing education, In certain parts of Kerala, almost every family will have at least one Nurse, and most of them would be working abroad, many of them have settled in those countries accepting citizenship of that country. Countries like the UK, US and even some of the Middle-Eastern countries have been hiring Indian nurses for the several decades.

The other countries that welcome Indian nurses are Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark, Malaysia, Singapore, Italy, Rome, Libya, South Africa etc…

This extra ordinary huge success of nursing profession in developed countries have even prompted many males to choose this as a career, there are even nurses who are either science or commerce graduates.

The major reason for such a turn out male nurses in large numbers was due the five and six figured salaries that are offered abroad. Nurses are a crucial and essential part of healthcare Industry, this was made possible after the legendary Nurse “Florence Nightingale”started this dedicated service, which has grown even larger than what even Florence Nightingale would not have ever thought of when she started this as a service to God and took over nursing as a career and made it to a respectable profession for women and later even men joining the profession to reap benefits that is achieved out this great profession.
