Exchange: Round 2

Hey everyone, so it's been a while but I'm back. 

It's been almost 2 years since I returned from my 12 months as a Rotary Youth Exchange Student to Kotka, Finland. The time has flown but then it has also been the longest 2 years of missing my Finnish life, families and friends. Trying to find a balance between returning to Australian life and not losing the person Finland helped me become has been quite a battle as well.

Upon returning to Australia I began my university education at the University of New England, Armidale. I have just finished my second year and the travel bug was biting again (not that it ever went away) so I decided to apply for an exchange through my university. 

I am several levels of ecstatic to announce that I have been accepted for 6 months exchange to the University of Copenhagen in 2014.

The main purpose of this blog is to be able to keep all of you up to date with what I'm up to. Of course I'll still be in contact with many of you but this is much easier (and less time consuming) than composing multiple messages. Plus so many people told me how much they enjoyed my blog whilst in Finland, so hopefully I can be as entertaining this time around. Also a huge hello and welcome to anyone who just stumbled across this blog, I hope it can interest you in some way as well. 

Anyway, this was just an icebreaker post to get the big news out there. I'm feeling a little rusty and awkward having not done this for a while but I'm dusting off the cobwebs and am keen to be starting up again.

Stay tuned for more specifics about my trip!
