Since I boarded the plane in Caracas, Venezuela, I knew there was a huge adventure in front of me, specially since getting to Sydney did not take 1, but 2 days of flying around South America. So I finally get to Sydney, and the first thing that amazes me is how friendly and energetic the…

My first Week of Classes
So my first week of classes at the University of Sydney was this week and I can honestly say that going from 2,400 students to 50,000 students is a little intimidating. Taking forever my classes and sitting in huge lecture halls really made me realize that I am truly not at Rollins anymore. My first…
My beginning weeks here!
So after the long flight I did make it to Australia! I actually lucked out because I had all three seats empty for the 16 hours so I managed to lay across them and sleep for the majority of the flight! I have done so much my first couple of weeks here. I saw a…
It’s Time to go Home!
I can’t believe I have reached my last full day in Munich! The day was spent packing, cleaning, saying goodbye to friends, and taking one last walk around this beautiful city. Tomorrow, I will take the bus to Frankfurt, and then I will fly back to Orlando the following day. Although I have to say…

Preparing for my trip
I am getting ready to go abroad for the next four months. To say that I have any idea on what to expect would be a lie. I am going to be experiencing a new culture, a new school, a new group of people and I would say that I am more excited than nervous….
Nearing the End of My Stay in Munich
I have been able to extent hospitality and offer lodging to guests over the last week and a half. My uncle from Iowa got to visit Germany for the first time. Then a buddy of mine, whom I went to high school with, came to Munich for the weekend. I had to play tour guide…
Ready for the Land Down Under!
I cannot believe I am about to start my journey to the amazing country of Australia! I have wanted to visit Australia since I was little so I could not be more excited. Something I am really hoping to understand when going to this country is what the hype is all about? Everyone that I…
Ready to start from zero once again!
I was very exited when I first found out I was going to study at Rollins College in the United States. Being born and raised in Venezuela, I never expected to have the opportunity to live outside my country away form my family and friends. In the beginning, it was very tough to be away…
