Spending a semester in Australia is like a dream come true! These pictures only show a small amount of what there is to do here; I have so much left to explore! Since I only have Uni (college) three days a week, I have tons of time to go out and enjoy days at the beach, lunches at the various cafes, or shopping in one of the many shopping centers (malls). If you hadn’t already noticed, there’s definitely some Aussie lingo to learn, but I’ve caught on quick! Keep a look out for more photos from my semester abroad in the upcoming weeks!
