My decision to do exchange in Denmark was made completely on a whim, so I was pretty surprised when I realised that I had picked what is often known as the “happiest city in the world” as my exchange destination. What did a cold and rainy city in Scandinavia have going for it that made…

Hej friends! It’s been quite a journey, but I’ve finally arrived and stayed in Sweden for about 3 weeks! I’m at Uppsala Universitet, Sweden’s oldest university, located in its 4th largest city.

The first two weeks of being in my new home country consisted purely of social activities organised by the uni for international students to…

Exchange in Denmark After travelling all over Europe for a month while I had an amazing time, I felt so completely ready to settle into my new life in Denmark for the semester! While I knew it was going to be a truly rewarding and eye-opening experience, I was also filled with mixed feelings of…

Bikes Bikes are one of the most popular forms of transport in Uppsala. You’ll use them to get to class, the supermarket, the nations and other…

To be completely honest, I am surprised that I made it to Prague after the lack of planning and preparation completed in Sydney. Going as a group of 4, Gerard, Jayesh, Phong and myself set off for the 24 hour journey towards Spain in an effort to get away from the cold weather of Sydney.…
