Getting ready to go to Morocco was really just me ignoring the fact that my flight date was rapidly arriving. People wanted to know what my “goals” were and how going to Morocco would help me on my “long-term career path”. I know that the right answer to those questions aren’t “I don’t know”, even if that’s the honest answer. I feel like a lot of people my age (myself included) have these vague, semi-true answers stock piled and ready for when adults ask these kinds of questions.
Europe is full of amazing cities, landscapes and new adventures. Barcelona happens to be one of the best locations to be if one wishes to fly to all these surreal locations. However, with this limitless amount of options staring the inexperienced American traveler in the face, it is easy to overlook the cities within Spain.
Before coming abroad, I didn’t really know what to expect from New Zealand, what the university would be like, I didn’t know where I would live, I didn’t know how the classes would be, and I didn’t even know what to bring in my luggage. This can be scary! Are you planning on studying abroad but have absolutely no idea how this is going to be like?
So, as I have mentioned previously, the education system at Oxford is pretty different than what we typically see in America. The basics are basically that, instead of having four to five classes that meet several times a week, you have two courses (tutorials).
After retturning from Sydney, I cannot get over how amazing my experience was. In order to make it easier for all you future Aussies, I decided to put together a list of the best trips, resturants, hotels, and everything in between!
Trips to do:
After Iceland, Steph and I spent two short days in Amsterdam and then left for Prague Tuesday evening. We were met by our hilarious AirBnB host who proceeded to tell us everything we could possibly want to know about the city. We headed out into town for a late dinner and were excited to see an abundance of Christmas lights!
When I arrived in Buenos Aires back in July, four months seemed like the longest amount of time to spend in a country. My first night in the city I was so overwhelmed I felt like I could be here for years and still not get used to it. But somehow, I did. Somehow, four months flew by without me noticing.
After living in Buenos Aires for four months and practically becoming a local (at least in my dreams), I like to think that I’ve done everything that the city has to offer, from the touristy spots to the hidden gems. So when my dad and my sister decided to come visit me at the end of my program and stay in Buenos Aires for two days before we flew to El Calafate to hike through Patagonia, I stressed out for days about where I would take them. How do I compress four months of tours and walks and museums and cafes into forty-eight hours?
