Amanda's Feedback
You've done a great job answering this question directly. If you've traveled internationally before, consider sharing how it impacted you or what you enjoyed most, such as exploring a new culture, trying out new language skills, or meeting new people. You can also talk about the skills you have that would make you a good choice for projects requiring international collaboration such as additional language proficiencies or prior experience working cross-culturally.
