Hey from England! I’m currently ‘studying’ my way into the second week of lectures at Plymouth University and it’s about time for my first blog. My trip actually started about six weeks ago, where I travelled through parts of Wales with a few friends, and escaped to Portugal to snatch up that last bit of European summer.…

As I stepped foot off my flight onto the island that is Hong Kong I took it all in. Looking out I could see a city/ country that wasn’t quite a concrete jungle, rather a juxtaposed image of modernity meets nature. Hong Kong is the perfect blend of east meets west. A mix of cultures…

UWhen I first visited Barcelona during 2 months Euro-trip in the summer of 2014, I told myself: I shall be back to this amazing city one day. Little did I know, my dream would be realized less than 2 years later—with the UTS Global Exchange program.

Spring is here! The birds are chirping, the sun is out and an array of flowers fills the cityscape. It has been 27 days since I arrived in Germany, and my understanding of this historic land continues to be enriched each day. The HfG University is situated in Schwäbisch Gmünd, a small rural town located…

I have been happily calling Stockholm home for the last 2 months and what a magical home it has turned out to be. The city itself is arranged neatly on various small islands, covered in pastel coloured buildings making the gloom of the winter weather somewhat bearable. My room is one of 12 in a…
