Here is my reflection on my 2018 UTS global exchange experience at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. I left my hometown, Sydney beginning of January 2018 and I am now writing this blog just as I’m aboot to enter my flight back to Australia. Its been quite the journey and without a doubt a once in…

Life on Global Exchange has been full on since arriving 2 months ago. Despite the countless information sessions, describing the exchange experience can do it no justice. Strangely enough, Toronto is like Sydney in many ways. It is a very multicultural city, there is lots of good food and many tourist activities to do all…

I’ve been in Canada for two months now and its fantastic.

Winter is very different as you could imagine in comparison to a winter season in Australia. Before I arrived in Montréal I spent two days in Toronto to visit some family and get a taste of the cold Canadian air. My cousins were my personal guides, showing off Yonge Street and some popular fast food…

Ryerson University, a technical focused institution in the heart of downtown Toronto, just down the road from the prestigious University of Toronto. It has a whole bunch of brutalist style buildings sitting next to super modern fancy looking building, and the internet occasionally doesn’t work. Sound familiar?

It has been just over 3 weeks since I left Australia and all the comforts of home. I have been living out of a suitcase, particularly as I traveled from Dallas, TX in the US all the way up to my new home at the University of Ottawa, ON, Canada.

Montreal reminds me of a slightly larger sized Melbourne. With its cool hipster streets, arts and comedy culture, I kind of feel like I’m home. Little cool eateries are scattered throughout the city, on every corner and in between. It wasn’t until I arrived here that I was informed that Montreal has the highest number…
