The uneven ground, calm waters, and massive livestock, are the epitome of northern England. It's absolutely beauty and so unreal. For nine days, I felt like I was in a dream and I didn't want to wake up. Honestly, I would've stayed if I got the chance. I remember walking around and annoying Paula, because [...]
For those following my journey, I'd like to start this post by apologizing for not writing last week... SORRY! However, the last two weeks have been extremely busy. I went to Rome, completed my final exam, prepared to leave Italy, said goodbye to my beautiful temporary home, took my first solo flight abroad, and reunited [...]

First week in Australia, a success! I would like to first, introduce myself. I'm Gabriella from Florida, and I am studying abroad in Sydney Australia, at the beautiful Macquarie University. My first week in Australia has been nothing short of incredible. I have done many coastal beach walks while here and have seen the breathtaking [...]
