Leaving Home to Return Home

While at university, I am fortunate enough to receive a 4 week semester break throughout June and July. This year, I decided to travel back to Flensburg to visit my school friends and host families whom I met while I was a Rotary Youth Exchange student in 2014. Ever since arriving back in Australia, returning… Read More Leaving Home to Return Home

Two Thousand and Fifteen

Two thousand and fifteen was a year of adjustment. Upon returning from my 12 month exchange, I was disorientated and unsure as to how the year would pan out. As I reflect on the past year, I’m pleasantly surprised by all that has occurred. It was a roller coaster which I had never been on before. Returning… Read More Two Thousand and Fifteen

Documenting a Year

I will never be able to sum up my entire year in a video in just over three minutes, but this is my attempt at doing so. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this video came together, and that I had actually filmed enough footage to last the duration of the background track; particularly,… Read More Documenting a Year

Two Thousand and Fourteen

There are many various adjectives which I could use to describe the past year, but I’m at a loss. There is simply no way that I could begin to accurately describe the year that has been, and all that has taken place and then changed in a thousand different ways. I am speechless. All I… Read More Two Thousand and Fourteen

Last days of Summer

Yesterday I went sailing in Germany for the first time. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, pretty much as soon as I found out that I would be living in Flensburg. A week ago I moved to my third host family, and I now have two younger host brothers who both sail… Read More Last days of Summer

Celebrating on Sylt

During July I had the privilege of celebrating my 17th birthday on the island of Sylt with my second host family. Celebrating first began at the stroke of midnight with cake and singing. One other good reason to celebrate was that just a few hours earlier, my host sister had unexpectedly returned from her exchange… Read More Celebrating on Sylt

Unter der Woche #6

Once the new week arrived, it had already left again very quickly. Everything was all very routine, with the normal activities taking place, including school during the day, and Deutschkurs in the evenings. I attended the weekly Monday Rotary meeting, which was another casual occasion and consisted of a hot meal and a chance to… Read More Unter der Woche #6

How happy I was to skate on a frozen lake for the first time ☃️ #weissensee #kärnten #🇦🇹
Thus concludes a six-week long journey across Europe with my family. An adventure through nine different countries and a rare opportunity to reconnect with new friends and family, as well as old. Thank you to everyone who has hosted us along the way, I'm very thankful to have you all in my life. 🌟 The next adventure is just around the corner and, in a pleasant turn of events, I have the privilege of continuing this inter-continental journey to Arizona 🇺🇸 to witness the wedding of a dear friend. Stay tuned.
Woke up in Austria, drove to Slovenia and ended the day in Italy by this beautiful lake at sunset. 🌄
Managed to tick Slovenia off the Bucket List ✔ #🇸🇮 #lakebled
