Che boludo, que onda? By far this has become one of my favourite phrases (I even got a shirt at San Telmo market with the saying, for crying out loud). This basically means hey dude, what’s up? 🙂 Yesterday marked exactly one month since I arrived in Buenos Aires! Wow, how the time has flown….
Advice to the Future AUR International Student!
Ciao mi amici! I am writing this post about 15 minutes before I leave for the airport (better late than never), and embark on a 4 month journey through the country of pizza, wine, and good times with some amazing people! I was hoping as my first blog post to help out anyone else who…
Thinking about Rome
It’s surreal to think that in two days I’ll be in ROME. An enchanting, old and historic city that’s full of beautiful surprises every turn. Now being so close to the departure date, I think about how I decided to go to Rome in the first place. My friends and I were eating at an…
Day before Rome
Well, 24 hours from now I’ll be sitting in the airport waiting to get on my flight to head over to Rome. I’m only halfway through packing, not surprising for me because I leave everything until last minute… It took me forever to decide what to pack but I basically am just sticking with black,…

Ready for Break!
Freaked out a little bit this morning when I realized this post a but late! I’ve been hit with a cold these past few days so my mind is a bit scrambled at the moment, but I’m still alive and well! Queenstown two weekends ago was amazing! The weather was a lot colder than expected…
First time going to China?
Mine too! I actually just got back from my trip around southeast Asia where I went cliff jumping and walked around the edge of a skyscraper in the Philippines, to the peak in Hong Kong, Vietnam, the ancient temples in Cambodia and cuddling tigers and riding elephants after island hopping in Thailand! A little background…
ADVENTURE AWAITS! (They don’t call it the Adventure Capital of the World for nothing!)
Queenstown was incredible!! We got to luge down a mountain (some of my friends went bungee jumping, definitely not my style) and we went hiking among snow and WILD cliff-climbing goats. Queenstown is known as the adventure capital of the world, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. We got to eat some great burgers, a 3…
