Studying abroad in Australia has been an awesome experience. From learning more about the brain to experiencing new cultures and encountering wild kangaroos in parks, every day has been a unique experience.
Without the support of various programs, such as the Gilman Scholarship, this experience would not have been a reality. This scholarship helped ease my adjustment to living in Australia, where I could focus on studying, exploring and becoming a part of the community that I will now always be a part of. As I now return to the U.S., I am more inspired than ever to continue working towards my degree and traveling to new places, learning more about the world one step at a time.
These articles have been beneficial for me in creating a little blog about my adventures here and in helping me understand the culture around me, but I hope that they have also helped you to become more curious about the world. I hope to have sparked an interest in traveling to new countries and I encourage you to experience a different way of life from our own in the United States.
Despite being excited to get back and catch up with my friends and family, this experience has been enriching, and I wouldn't have changed a single thing.
