I had the best six weeks studying and interning in Sydney, Australia. It was just as hard to leave the people that I have met throughout this program as it was to leave this beautiful place. I was able to experience a lot of neat things such as feeding kangaroos, hiking at the Blue Mountains,…

New Skills From Sydney

Adapting to Sydney
