After 2 short weeks exploring Australia with my family over Christmas and New Years, it was finally time to start my study abroad journey! Saying goodbye to my family was bittersweet, but it has been so exciting to see all the new sights and meet all of the new people who I will be spending the next few weeks with. This trip is focused on international cuisine and culture and advanced wine and beverage management. We started off the trip with a bang, exploring the town we are staying in, Manly Beach. The group is staying in a hostile for almost 3 weeks which is a short ferry ride away from Sydney before flying to Adelaide, Australia. One of the first days in Manly, a group of us went to watch the sunrise over the gorgeous crystal blue water, before sight seeing in Sydney at the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Along with sightseeing, we have had many amazing multi-course meals with wine pairings and even enjoyed some afternoon tea. There is lots to look forward to on this trip and can’t wait to see and learn even more. This first week has been filled with so many amazing memories with the hopes of making so many more!
