Pre ‘Straya!!
When I was a freshman in high school, I had chance to embark on the adventure of a lifetime with my family; I got to study 11,000 miles away from home in Fremantle, Western Australia. To put it simply, it was awesome. Six years later, I can replay every second of five months that I…
Just a Few Hours away from New Zealand!
I write today from the international Terminal of LAX, where I have been for the past few hours and will be for at least another 7 due to a wonderful 12 hour layover between my arrival from MCO and departure for Auckland. Now that I have finally eaten and found a spot to settle for…
Episode 1: On my way to the land down under
Hey guys! It’s Fabi. I am a first semester junior and a political science and anthropology major. In 10 days, 16 hours, 1 minute, and 29 seconds, I will be leaving the States to head to Australia, or as the Aussies call it, Straya to attend the University of Newcastle. This program is provided…
Before New Zealand
Kia ora!* It’s only a few days until I depart for New Zealand and I cannot express my excitement enough! I have been out of the county before, to Costa Rica and France, but this will be the longest flight I’ve been on (19 hours total!) and the farthest I’ve traveled. It will also be…

The information we have received so far has left my head reeling and launching it into spirals of imagination, wondering who the rest…
Buenos Aires
Today is the day I have been waiting fervently for. I will departing to Buenos Aires, Argentina. As I sit here in the JFK airport awaiting the time for boarding, I am more than excited for what I am about to experience in the next 5 months . Growing up as the youngest of 6…
The Time has Come
The time has come for me to go abroad in Argentina, I thought I had more time and then it’s the 21stand I am packing at 1am in the morning. Even though it is a little scary to go to a country I don’t know the country’s spoken language full I know it will be…
And Away I Go…
Pre-Departure Blog I cannot believe that I am finally 9 days away from embarking on my journey around the world from New Jersey to New Zealand. (I guess I like the whole “New” thing). I feel like I have been waiting for this day for so long. I recently got an email explaining that I…
