Overall, assimilating to Sydney has been relatively easy. Since it is an English-speaking country, there is less of a barrier when trying to connect with people here. However, if I had to pick one thing that is the hardest to adapt to here is the slang that Aussies use. They have a different word or…

Adapting to Florence
There have been a fair share of cultural challenges while I have been studying in Florence. Now that I am halfway through the program, most of these “challenges” have already become normal and are things I do not really think twice about.

Classes in Florence
This semester I’m studying abroad in Florence, Italy, and even though I’m not doing an internship, the experience has still felt very professionally and academically challenging in the best way.
