One week into my exchange in Uppsala and I think it’s safe to say it I’ve completely fallen in love with Sweden.

I’m currently on exchange at Uppsala University in Sweden. Uppsala is Sweden’s 4th largest city and it’s about 40 minutes outside of Stockholm. Studying and living in Uppsala is a completely unique experience, one that is completely different to Sydney. For one, Sweden is one of the coldest countries in the world – it has…

Hej! My name is Chris and I’ve now reached the halfway point of my exchange to Sweden! With the Swedish universities starting their Spring semester relatively early to other countries, I arrived in Stockholm in mid-January and was lucky enough to make a whole bunch of new friends within the first couple of weeks. As…

Today marks exactly two months since I last set foot in Australia – and what an amazing few months it has been! I am currently on a semester long exchange at Stockholm University in Sweden, and have loved absolutely every second of it so far. When I first arrived in Stockholm, it was immediately clear…
