I’ve planned my trip to Australia for a long time. I knew that I had one semester off because my high school finished after 3.5 years. It has always been my dream to go to Australia and improve my English but I didn’t want to go to a language school […]
Guten tag! My seven months of travels and study abroad – what an experience. When I first arrived in Munich, Germany I had mixed emotions; excitement, anticipation, fear – would I experience extreme culture shock? Fortunately it wasn’t long before I was calling Munich my second home. Going in with […]
Tayla, reporting from Kufstein, Austria! Kufstein is a small, quaint town in the state of Tirol, Austria. I am here for the summer semester but when I first arrived I was welcomed by snow. This meant I had the opportunity to ski in the Alps, just 20 minutes away […]

Studying in the Galapagos Islands has been surreal, researching endemic species and having close encounters with these incredible creatures, words hardly describe the raw and rare experience. The abundance of marine life is unbelievable and swimming with sea lions never gets old, on numerous occasions I have had my flippers, arm, GoPro and sometimes […]
The strange thing I have found out about travelling is that you learn more about your home, yourself and where you came from, whilst living 15,244 kilometres away from it.
