# How to make a study abroad recap video - **URL**: https://routeflick.com/blog/study-abroad-travel-video --- [<- All articles](https://routeflick.com/blog) How-to - 4 min read **RouteFlick Editorial**Product guide from the team building RouteFlick Published July 20, 2026Updated October 5, 2026 A semester abroad produces two things in bulk: memories and weekend trips. The recap that does both justice isn't a photo dump -- it's a map. One flight arc from home to your host city, then a burst of little routes to everywhere the cheap flights and rail passes took you. Here's how to build it. About this guide and its evidence Published by RouteFlick, the maker of the product described here. This is first-party guidance, not an independent review.

Stop one: your home city. Stop two: your host city, by flight -- the arc that started everything. 2. Then add the trips in order -- the weekend in Prague, the reading-week Portugal run, the friends-visiting Amsterdam weekend. 3. Title card: "Semester in Madrid - Spring 2026" with your university or program name as the subtitle. 💡 Rail-pass semester? Set the European legs to train -- the routes follow real rail lines and the video instantly reads as the interrail experience it was. ## Photos carry the feeling Attach two or three photos per stop -- they appear as the camera arrives, polaroid-style. The first-day airport photo at your host city and the last-night group shot make natural bookends. ## Where to post it Export vertical for the Instagram farewell post, widescreen for the family. It renders on your device in seconds -- free in HD, with as many exports as you like, so you can cut one version for friends and a calmer one for your parents. Six months, one map, every trip.
