Traveling from the US to Australia was super exciting! The first day was a little overwhelming being so far from home, but after meeting the locals with their warm hospitality, I felt better! Trying new things has been my favorite part so far. We had dinner on the water which was 9 courses! Australia has opened my eyes to new flavors and dishes. Exploring iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and the Botanical Gardens showcased Australia’s diverse beauty. I love learning about the cuisine and culture around me! Furthering my studies down under is such an amazing opportunity to embrace new adventures and create lasting memories! (Submitted on January 11, 2024)
