Greetings from Hong Kong! If you’ve ever thought about going on exchange, don’t just think about it, go for it! Exchange is an amazing experience of independence, community, and culture. I’ve recently just passed mid semester at the City University of Hong Kong and I’m honestly astounded by how fast time has flown by! I…

So far Budapest has easily surpassed all of my expectations. The architecture, the food, the nightlife and the particularly friendly people that make the city. I can’t speak highly enough of it for anyone considering it as an exchange option. The university itself, while quite different from UTS, is very accommodating to exchange students as…

Applying for exchange is only the beginning!! What’s to come is far more difficult, being in a country that doesn’t speak English and being completely on your own can be daunting but it’s all part of the experience!! Well my trip actually began in Colombia, South America, where I had just been in the…

“What? Where’s that?” “Is it near Berlin?” Those were the three main questions I was asked when I told people I was going on exchange to Weimar in Germany. As soon as I responded, “Bauhaus” most people then seemed to understand where I was talking about (or at least acted like they did). I’m studying…

Today marks my 100th day of being on the other side of the world and the uni workload has finally started to steady, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to reflect on my time abroad.

The stress involved with applying for a visa and searching for places to stay made me apprehensive about studying overseas. I doubted myself and second-guessed my choices. All that…

After living here in Aarhus for just over a month, many things have surprised and interested me. Firstly, how easy and quick it is to travel from Denmark to anywhere in Europe. Cheap airlines like Ryanair offer return flights for often under $100 from a number of airports in Denmark. From Aarhus, I have found…

How’s life in your host city? What’s the university like? Life in Aarhus is very different to life in Sydney. The biggest change is probably the weather. It’s pretty cold here and has been snowing regularly. The Danish concept of “Hygge” an untranslatable word meaning “cosiness” is not understood until in Denmark: warm…

Living in Seoul has been a fascinating change of pace from life back home in the suburbs of South-West Sydney. It has been a culture shock in many facets of everyday life, from shops and streets being alive past midnight on a weekday, to smaller lifestyle quirks here, such as coffee shops being treated as…

Counting down day after day, going to Austria all seemed like a dream to me. The idea of going to a complete foreign country for 6 months seemed quite daunting and didn’t really hit me until we actually arrived in Dornbirn— which involved a tiring 22 hour plane ride to Zurich, and another 2 hour…
