Network. It Can Take You Places.
I was printing some documents and doing my German homework at my hall’s common room where I met another exchange student, Tonny. He is taking the same course and we immediately got talking over the homework and how hard the whole course is. Tonny is an exchange student as well from Sydney, Australia. He had ...
The Magic Of German Transportation
As I was sitting on yet another 7 hour bus ride crossing borders to new countries, I couldn’t help but be amazed at the true power and dynamism behind the general ingenuity of German transportation. We are constantly told how great German engineering is, but I truly didn’t understand the actuality of the matter until ...
Classes at HKUST
For this blog, I’m going to stop talking about how much fun I’m having in Hong Kong and speak about my classes. Studying abroad isn’t just about exploring the country you’re living in; it’s about advancing your education and learning more about yourself as a student. I have been here for a month now and ...
Road Trips, Footy, and Adelaide
One of the staples of Australian culture is Australian Football or, as the Australians call it, “Footy.” It’s a sport that doesn’t have many rules, any padding, and is as loved as American Football is in the United States. This past weekend, Melbourne held what was the equivalent to America’s Super Bowl: the AFL Footy ...

Snowy Mooncakes!
The best part about traveling is experience the culture and life of the people around you. When you embrace different aspects of the culture, you come to find out new things about yourself that you never knew about. The Chinese culture is very different from the American and Trinidadian culture that I am so used ...
Heather in Rennes: Grève Consequences
Please note that this is a retired Drexel study abroad program. To learn more about available programs, contact Drexel Global studyabroad@drexel.edu. As much as I enjoy living in Philadelphia, I have a love/hate relationship with its public transportation system. I love SEPTA, in that it gets me where I need to go, and I hate it ...
Election Fever
It seems as though I went from one daunting election in the U.S. to yet another in Germany. I’m not going to lie, arriving in a country and seeing mega sized headshots of candidates in the streets really reminds you that you have no idea what is going on in the world and you’re one ...
Go Forth and Explore
Every weekend is a new adventure and, honestly, I am LIVING. Australia is one of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever been to. The city is just like any other city but, the nature? It’s top notch. This past weekend, we went to Mornington Peninsula which is about an hour’s drive away from Melbourne. ...
