As I’m sure you can read from the title I was wondering whether or not I could technically count traveling as an EC. Hear me out, I go out of the country multiple times a year and have to learn the basics of the language and cultural traditions/customs of each respective place. I think this requires the same amount of work as EC’s that are done independently like photography etc. Could I put this on the commonapp?
Because you are active learning something when you travel around the world, I think it could probably be considered an extra-curricular. You might want to doctor the title a little instead of listing it as just ‘traveling’. Emphasize the fact that you learn the basics of the language and culture each time you travel.
