My First Bush Doof
When I was invited on a camping trip with the UNSW Outdoors Club, I thought it would be a 10 person ordeal around a campfire with a guitar. We would go climbing and hiking and maybe swimming, and at the end of the day decompress and joke around. Three days before the camping trip, I was added to a Facebook event page called Dam Cliffs Doof, with about 100 other people. It was at that point that I realized a doof is a party in the woods with no one around. It’s chaos, and it’s supposedly a lot of fun.
Travel tips and dealing with travel anxiety
Travel is a huge part of studying abroad, and to be quite honest, I had no idea just how big traveling while abroad was until I got here. I chose London because I knew I would absolutely love living here, and the opportunities that I got to travel while abroad would just be the cherry on top of things. Really, I only had three places that were absolute must-dos, and for the rest, I really didn’t know what would happen. Previously to coming abroad, I didn’t have a lot of travel experience that wasn’t me packing up my car and spending the weekend somewhere.
