Latin America was further afield for me and a bigger jump - I knew i would need to commit as trips home for a weekend would not be feasible.
I would also suggest considering what your end goal is - professionally and personally. Experiencing a new culture first hand, in day to day life, is something i'd recommend to anyone who gets the opportunity. You learn many transferable skills and grow as a person - and it really opens your eyes on a global context. If you want to be challenged and feel confident and ready to commit to it, a country or culture that differs to your own will be a great suggestion. If you're not quite confident or ready for a big change, then potentially look at sticking closer to home, to have that security and support closer at hand. Personally I chose 2 varying continents- Europe and Latin America. I started with Europe - I had already visited as a tourist, it wasn't too far from 'home' and it was a culture I was experienced with. Europe at that time was easy to navigate for travelling around - as Namrata mentioned you will need to consider work/study permit and policies which will have a big impact on your final decision. Latin America was further afield for me and a bigger jump - I knew i would need to commit as trips home for a weekend would not be feasible. Also remember to consider your personal safety wherever you go - know your embassy location for example and look into current security or safety advice for locals and non-locals.
