“I think back on all my memories [from living in Australia] and I am so thankful for the opportunity to spend time there soaking up the culture and the sunshine. Obviously the beaches are breathtaking (especially for a girl from Utah with no beaches) I recommend going to as many as possible and trying to avoid the overly popular ones (like Bondi) when my friend and I went to Sydney we went to Manly Beach and it was so pretty and much less crowded. Talking to your host family about recommendations was always a huge success for me and my friends! Listen to the locals about food recommendations and try it all! The food is so good and to this day I think about the sausage rolls. I miss the fresh fish and chips and the calamari!”
“It can be scary to do new things in a whole new world with not knowing a single person but I know if I didn’t then I wouldn’t have had the same exciting experience that I did.”
“Learn to be a local. As goofy as that might sound, find things and/or places that make you feel comfortable and you enjoy doing. Some things for me were: going to the gym down the road, taking the bus downtown to get a smoothie and go for a walk, finding your favorite bakeries/bars/restaurants.”
“Something that made me appreciate everything was how cool it was to be able to say I actually did this in my lifetime.”
“There was a period of time where I became really homesick. Something that really made me appreciate everything was how cool it was to be able to say I actually did this in my lifetime. Think about how many people can really say I went to live in Australia (not vacation) for x amount of months.”
