Bonjour tout les monde! For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to live overseas for a portion of my life. To experience a whole other culture and really become a local of the city. When I heard about the exchange program at UTS, I saw my opportunity and took it. France…

Bonjour Madame, Monsieur, Hello, I’m Celina, back from a BUILD Abroad Trip in Bordeaux, France, a region very well known for its wine. During June-July 2018, I attended a Summer School run by the Bordeaux Institute of Technology where I studied ‘Sustainable Development in Metropolitan Bordeaux’. The main topic the subject revolved around, was sustainable…

Travelling to Bordeaux for two weeks over the mid-semester break was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had. Combining learning more about my passion for sustainable development, studying and completing an elective, travelling abroad to France and making tons of friends – I loved every minute of it. I wasn’t exactly sure what to…

I spent two weeks in Paris studying Luxury Brand Management at the Paris School of Business. The weather is absolutely wonderful over there, summer in Paris is so different compared to Sydney. The sunsets don’t come until 10 pm, with night time being quite short. The summer weather was so comfortable at 27 degrees. We…

Within the month of July, i have made many new friends from many different other countries as well as million of memories.…

You might remember being in high school, doing your HSC exams and the small eternities that stretch between the teacher calling “one minute left!” and the timer going off. That’s what exchange feels like; a weird mix of stress and excitement, and having no time and too much time all at once. Or maybe that’s…

The thing about France is that it throws you into the deep end. In Amsterdam they speak perfect English, in Berlin all university students are close to fluent English speakers, in Dublin there is no language barrier at all but in France… in France they can say “yes.” While a lot of the students in…

One week to go and two random emotional breakdown later I now recognise the fact that I am leaving for exchange. When I started planning my exchange a year ago, the day I leave seemed to be a 100 years away. Now the day is approaching, now I actually have to pack my bags and now I actually have…
