Hello again! As I settle into my 3rd week here in Sydney (almost halfway through!), I want to tell you all a little bit more about my classes, internship, and overall experience I’ve had so far in Australia. My time in Australia has been very exciting so far! I live in an area called Kensington,…
Learning Down Under: My Academic and Professional Journey
When I first arrived in Sydney, I expected beautiful beaches, friendly people, and the opportunity to explore a new city. What I did not expect was how quickly the city would become a home away from home. Each day has brought on a new adventure. Between adjusting to a different university, starting my internship with…
Hej from Stockholm! An (Almost) Pre-Departure Introduction
About me I like being thrown into new places, and that is probably the fastest way to describe me. Back home I am a junior studying economics, where most of my coursework has leaned toward finance, statistics, and applied data work.

I’m Gonna Soak up the Sun
In Sydney, CEA CAPA is located at the University of Technology Sydney which is located in Haymarket or the China town of Sydney. Our dorms are situated at the University of New South Whales in Randwick. This is about a twenty-to-thirty-minute light rail ride away from our classes. I have been adapting to my living…
