Hello, everyone. I’m back today to post a blog I wrote with a heavy heart. Indeed, this is my goodbye letter to Sydney but more so, this post is also a thank you letter to everything (and person) that made my trip so amazing. _____________________________________ Thank you, Sydney, for breaking me out of my shell….

Advice from a “Seasoned” Traveler
Hello again! After having experience traveling both to and within Australia, I figured I would share some advice I learned about packing for study abroad. Here is a list I created in no particular order but is split up into two categories. This list is ideal for a 6-week program such as the one I…
Hold on to Your Tim Tams
Welcome back! If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know by now how much I love Australia. Studying abroad changed me so much (more on that in another blog) and allowed me to meet amazing people and see a whole new part of the world. However, during this trip, I also…
A Weekend in Cairns
Hello again! I’m currently back in the states, but I’ll be uploading my last few blog posts from my study abroad experiences in Sydney. Both the wifi and my phone data were extremely limited during the month of July, so I figured I would just upload these blog posts back in the States. Delaying the…
STUDYING Abroad
Hello again! As I approach the end of my study abroad experience, I just wanted to talk about the classes I took here in Sydney. I enrolled in Operations Management and The Australasian Nightmare (a cinema course), both of which were taught by Pitt professors. Although the classes were VERY different from each other, I…

I stayed in Melbourne from Saturday to Tuesday during the Queen’s holiday, so if you didn’t see my previous post detailing Saturday and Sunday’s activities, please check it out. Monday morning we all did different things. Some of the CAPA students went on the Great Ocean…
Melbourne! (Part 1)
Hello everyone! Sorry it’s been a while – I’ve had these posts written up for some time now, but I haven’t been able to physically upload them due to wifi issues. You’ll probably see a stream of a couple posts coming in around the same time, but these posts were written all across the month…
Starting Classes in Sydney
Hello everyone, I’m back already! Today was my first day of classes. I started the morning a little frazzled because my schedule had gotten messed up at the last minute, but, thankfully, the CAPA center worked through my issue and by noon everything was sorted out. I love how small the class sizes are. I’m…
Starting out in Sydney
Welcome back to my blog! I arrived in Sydney last Wednesday, and I already feel like I don’t have enough time to see everything. The city is beautiful – I feel like I’m still in the states sometimes, but at the same time Australia has such a unique environment. Seeing everything is hard enough, but…
