Ending thoughts

My last post :/ I must admit that I am excited to go back to the States and to my house in Media, Pennsylvania. I really miss my rats and my dog, Shadow. This has been an amazing semester abroad, and it definitely came with moments I will never forget. Overall experience: the semester provided me…

A Post Dedicated to: Food

Okay, so I’ve decided to spend the second to last post on some nice food recommendations!! 1. DUMPLINGS    Since my time in Sydney, I have found a new love for dumplings. They are amazing, and I am so glad I had so many opportunities to eat them!! Places to go that I recommend: Din Tai Fung…

Taronga Zoo

So at the end of March, we SLEPT AT THE ZOO. This was by far one of my favorite memories since studying abroad. It’s called Roar and Snore. We arrived at the zoo on a Friday night and immediately started to walk around and see some animals– giraffes, elephants, frogs, monkeys, and we got to personally…

Employment Hero

I am on my seventh week of interning at Employment Hero. I cannot believe how fast this semester is going!! Since Spring break, schoolwork has been picking up, so that has definitely made the time feel like it’s going faster. In the beginning I think the transition into my internship was pretty smooth. Working with the…

Michael: the Tour Guide

Ok, I’m going to give my advice/opinion on some things. Three Top Sites 1. Kellys Falls. FOR SURE. A main reason why I traveled abroad to Australia was because of the nature. I LOVE trees, and this is the place where I have never seen so many trees in one place (I am very serious…

Spring Break in ~Bali

I stayed with my flatmate, Ashley, in three different Airbnbs (I recommend trying to get places that have breakfast included; this saved us time…

One Month In

I can’t believe I have already been in Sydney, AUSTRALIA for a month now. It has been incredible, and I’m sad to say that it is going by fast. As February is ending soon and I am past the one month point, I think it is a good time to reflect a little bit. Getting…

Surfin’ and Stuff

Hey guys!! So, I’ll start my post with what I did Thursday night, on February 15th. I signed up and went on a tour at the Sydney Observatory. We first went up to Miller’s Point and saw this AMAZING view of the bridge (this is my featured image). Tour: then we went on this tour of…

Parks and Wildlife

As I had mentioned in my first post, a huge factor that played into why I chose Australia were the parks and wildlife. Our first excursion out did not disappoint. This past weekend, CAPA arranged a Blue Mountains National Park & Featherdale Wildlife Park Day Trip on Saturday, February 3rd. We left at around 7:30AM…
