Well it has definitely been one crazy adventure! 30 flights, 3 countries, 2 continents and 1 semester of a lifetime! I cannot believe I am sitting in the airport getting reading to fly back home after almost six months in this amazing country, which I have fallen in love with. I can't even find words sufficient enough to describe my experience and let alone summarize it into one blog post. I have fed the Kangaroos, jumped out of a plane, learned to surf, toured t...

Okay so I know I say this after every new adventure but this was honestly one of my favorite experiences so far. Sunday I arrived in Prosperine and at 7 I met my group at Abel Point Marina to begin the 3 day/3 night journey sailing along the Whitsunday Islands and scuba diving/snorkeling in The Great Barrier Reef. After some housekeeping announcements were taken care of, we could only take 1 minute showers and shoes were not a necessity, the 32 of us set sail on ...

This is the beginning of my long jour...

At 6:30 the bus for Raging Thunder white water rafting picked me up outside of the hostel. We were driven to the main office where forty of us signed the waivers and hopped on a different bus that woul...

On Friday night I packed my bag and once again and made my way towards the airport, I had a late flight to Brisbane. I arrived in Brisbane around 4AM, the tour company wasn't picking me up until 7 and I didn't want to buy a room in a hostel for just a couple of hours so I just slept in the airport. Around 6:30 I took the train to the designated spot where I would meet the tour guide. I boarded the bus and we were on our way to Moreton Island, the third largest sa...
