  • Unpopular Opinion: Exchange is Hard

    I debated for days as to whether I should stick to the norm of these blogs and sugar coat my experience with tales of beautiful scenery, new friends and experiences (all relevant), but I think it is really important for anyone considering exchange to understand that it isn’t just easy breezy socialising and flirting about…

  • Winter Wonderland: Stockholm, Sweden.

    I started my study abroad journey with a booking for a one-way flight to one of the largest cities in Scandinavia – Stockholm, Sweden. I ended up landing in this enormous city in the middle of winter. I was very cold, very jetlagged, knee deep in snow, and with no idea of what would happen…

  • Chapter in life: Singapore

    Sitting in my humidly stuffed dorm on a Saturday afternoon, it’s been one of those days where finals are coming up, and yet I am still contemplating whether to start studying or not. I have no clue what’s going on in my subjects, and frankly, I don’t care. These past 3 months an exchange have been too damn…

  • Kyoto, the Modern and Traditional City

    Although arriving yesterday morning, I’ve had already a stressful but wonderful time in my 36 hours in Japan already. If you don’t know, Kyoto is considered the traditional capital of Japan, but it is also a very modern city, juxtaposing these two cultures.

  • The University of Where?

    My journey to Canada started a few years ago with a dream to one-day return to the USA, a country I once called my home. Time passed with no magical trip back to the other side of the world, much to my disappointment. Then one day a seed was planted in my head at a…

  • Copenhagen: the city of castles, Carlsberg and cycling

    I can barely believe it’s been a month that I have called this lovely city home. My first mission when I arrived at my new home, Signalhuset Kollegiet, was to purchase a bicycle. After a little searching around on Facebook pages I managed to secure my pretty bike which has become my bestfriend here.

  • Innovations in Environmental Sustainability at the University of Minnesota

    My journey started when I left Sydney to Los Angeles. I stayed in Los Angeles for a week before my course, and it actually enhanced my educational experience. Los Angeles was very busy, with lots of people, traffic, noise, waste and air pollution. I had envisioned that Hollywood would be extremely glamorous, but I found…

  • Two Weeks in Bangkok; Memories for a Lifetime

    31st July 2016. This marks the end of probably the most adventurous month that I have experienced to date. I wasn’t in Thailand for too long, in fact, it has only been two weeks. It still doesn’t seem like it though, because it felt like I was there for an entire semester. Within the short…

  • The KMUTT Experience – A Thai Wonderland

    There are very few words that could sum up the amazing experience gained on this trip. KMUTT itself was an amazing education hub and was quite the cultural experience in comparison to UTS. The location itself was out of the way of the city and I felt that added to the experience of it, travelling…

  • China Exchange, The Trip Of a Lifetime

    I am currently halfway through my exchange experience studying at Shanghai University in China. A fact that I am still coming to grips with, it seems that only a week ago I said goodbye to my family and friends and hopped on a plane to China. I feel like that really summarizes the most outstanding…
