Although I went to a Catholic high school and was a regular visitor of the church for three years, I wont consider myself too much a religious person. I never got baptized or experience the magic moment of encountering the God. Also, though I was born in China, I didn’t know much about Buddhism. Honestly,…

Cigarettes on cigarettes, my mama think I stank
Smoking here in Germany is very common, so common in fact that I have gotten used to the second hand smoke, and when we do go out the smell always stains my clothes. Maybe I should pick better friends to be around but nah. As of today, my favorite quote has been this “Mauricio tobacco…
Conclusion
Australia is a beautiful country full of surprises. Before I visited, people used to tell me Australia was vey similar to the U.S. and I would not be experiencing a different culture. To those people I say, ‘it is clear you have never visited the country’. Australians are the most laid back, multi cultured, open…
A Prolonged Vacation
Being abroad is one of the weirdest sensations I’ve ever experienced. I feel as though I’ve been in London for years, yet at the same time it feels like just yesterday I was landing in Heathrow and moving into my flat.

What else can I say? November’s been fantastic so far….
The Last Times
I have less than a week in Samoa. Looking back at old pictures and blog posts leaves me in awe. It can’t be possible that this time next week I will be in my own bed in Florida, let alone next month when I’ll be back at Rollins! The last few weeks were extremely stressful….
Time is Tickin’
I cannot believe there are just 11 days left until my flight back to the US. Time is going so fast, as it has the entire semester, and there is still so much left to do. I have a few things on my bucket list, such as the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the British…
