After an anxious wait for my Visa I finally arrived in Barcelona on the 25th of September. This meant that classes had already begun – there was to be no settling in period, I was going to have to move quickly in order to stay afloat. Surprisingly, three days later, I felt calm. I have…

Life in Venezia is to live in a paradox. It’s complexly simple, quietly noisy, and idly bustling. Only one thing is concrete; it’s beautiful. I’ve found my home in Cannaregio, in the northern suburb of ‘the island’. You could say I live between two highways. Step outside my front door and you’re on the Strada…

Before my exchange begins next week, I have been travelling around Bologna and the Adriatic Coast (a mere hour drive). Bologna has been a fantastic destination. It is a student city that is very close to the airport, so I highly recommend it for travellers looking for an easy and accessible city to visit. The…

Before arriving in Denmark I had a vague idea of what it meant to be Danish. Having…

Coming from Australia, where the temperature rarely drops below 10 degrees, this has been a completely new and sublime experience. I have been skiing overlooking the city at Hammarby Backen, ice skated in Kungsträdgården, seen an ice hockey match,…

I have been studying in Amsterdam for over 6 weeks now and I highly recommend and support anyone who wants a fun cultural exchange experience here in my second home. I remember the day I got accepted to the University of Amsterdam, sitting on my lounge staring at the email, too nervous to open. My…

It’s been nearly two months since the semester started at Eindhoven, and much has happened since. Their semester is divided into two quartiles, with most subjects only taking the length of one, and the design studio taking the full length of the semester. I happen to have more subjects in the first quartile, so things…

It’s a sunny -2 degrees in Stockholm today! The days are getting longer and the snow is melting. I think it’s safe to say that spring has officially sprung. I’ll be the first to admit that the transition from a scorching Sydney to a snowy Stockholm three months ago was a bitter pill to swallow.…
