From enjoying the last whirlwind moments of my 6 week European adventure to slowing down and settling into my own room and experiencing the CRAZIEST orientation week I’ve ever been a part of, I can definitely say that…

I arrived in Zurich around two weeks ago, and the rumours are true. Switzerland is definitely THE most expensive country I have ever been in. Every third car on the street is a Porsche, and everyone is dressed perfectly from head to toe, all the time. A half-hour bus/train ride costs around $6 AUD, and…

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.…

Shanghai is a vibrant metropolitan city with a great variety of food to fit all budgets, well connected public transport network and lots of historical and modern landmarks/architecture to explore. It feels like the endless streets always have some form of café, restaurant, entertainment and clothing store to offer. There is also an abundance of…

I am writing this blog exactly 2 months into my exchange at Tilburg University in the Netherlands and I could not be happier! Bike-riding, snow, blue skies, stroopwafels, a lot of beer and easy access to the rest of Europe – I have experienced it all! Tilburg is a gorgeous small town situated in the…
