How to be Alone During the Loneliest Time of the Year

I had the opportunity to stay in Freiburg over winter break after my first semester ended. This was both exciting and terrifying. I would get to stay in Freiburg for 2 more months! But pretty much none of the friends I made at IES Abroad would still be here. Originally, I didn't even plan on staying over winter break. I'm a full year student, so I thought that I would go back home over winter break to spend the holidays with my family. But plans change, and I pretty much fell in love with Freiburg the second I got here. Instead, I ended up doing a research assistantship for 6 weeks.

Christchurch Kiwi Crash Course: Part 2

One of the first things I’ve learned about living in a big city is that you can’t just walk everywhere. Sure, the infrastructure is usually there, but where in my hometown it’s totally feasible to make the 15 minute stroll to the library or the downtown or the grocery store, here that journey might take you 45 minutes or more on foot. This means I’ve had to hone my public transportation skills, which hasn’t always been straightforward in a place where I’m already new to the culture.
