My name is Zac and for 4 weeks in June and July I completed an entry-level German language course at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. I flew in to Frankfurt, Germany’s biggest airport, and did not waste much time before getting a taste of Germany’s cross-country rapid transit rail system. I arrived in Berlin in a flash…

Having travelled around Europe for the past seven weeks, it was a relief to finally settle into life in my host city Mannheim, Germany. It’s a very cool little city based around the University (Fun fact: University of Mannheim is the second largest Baroque Palace in Europe, second to Versailles in France). The city is…

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to do an exchange in the beautiful southern German city of Stuttgart. It has a wonderfully rich history with traditional architecture surrounded by mountains and the Black Forest. Semester doesn’t actually start until October, so I won’t be able to talk much about my experience in this blog post.…

I know why you are reading this blog.

Guten Tag. I’m currently on Global Exchange at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany and have been here for just under 2 weeks now. It’s a small town located 3 hours south of Berlin and is famous for its arts, music and literature culture. Weimar towards the end of the 18th century was the centre of…

I’m headed to TUM in Munich for exchange, where I’ll be studying mostly architecture equivalent subjects. German unis don’t start until early/mid April (finishing early August) so I had to do any major travelling beforehand. I chose to fly to London and work my way up through the UK before heading to Iceland for 8…
