This will give you great material should you be looking for freelance gigs. You'll essentially be a location reporter doing international news. What's more, the competition in the West is intense. If you go to a different country with different language and cultural skills, it'll be easier to land a gig to pad that resume.
Another plus? It'll help you learn a foreign language. When you go to apply for real adult jobs, saying you can speak another language is a definite perk.
