Sydney Expectations New & Old
One thing about my Sydney experience that has rung true from an academic, professional, and personal perspective is how heavily the expectations I had before I arrived where subverted.

Living in the Urbanest
My life in Sydney began at the Urbanest located in a neighborhood called Ultimo and it’s where I call home. Ultimo, itself, is in a great location in Sydney.

Generally, the ticket machines have an English option, but not always and sometimes the tickets ask what specific part of the city you’re going to be traveling, for example, the inner…
Getting Comfortable
My first month in Sydney has been great! I have really like getting used to this city and it has really started to feel like home. I have begun to get into a routine and have come accustomed to it, similar to how you would get used to a class schedule at home. I have…
