Life in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

View of River Torrens and the Adelaide Oval 12th July 2017 - My flight to Australia. This was the day. After contemplating about how it would be and what would happen on my year abroad. The day finally arrived. I booked my flight to Australia on the 26th of April 2017. It was almost a 1000 pound return I remember. So I knew there was no backing out now. Anyways when the day finally arrived I was excited but also a little nervous. But I was eager and just wanted to pass the first hurdle which was to get Australia and get through that incredibly long 22.5-hour flight (14.5 hours to Hong Kong, 8 hours to Adelaide). Let’s fast forward the journey now. I reached Adelaide at I guess 6am in the morning on the 14th July 2017. It felt like a whole two day time travel because of the time difference. I had travelled with two other study abroad students who were staying at a different accommodation to mine. I was staying at a University managed accommodation called the University of Adel...

Right, time to do a bit of time traveling in order to remember the start of my journey to down under. I decided I wanted to move to Australia I believe at the end of 2016. This was probably after attending the study abroad fair with my University and knowing that I had an opportunity to go on a year abroad. I remember when I first started planning a year abroad I wanted to go to Canada. In particular, I was keen on living in Toronto. I actually have no idea why. However, I spoke to my study abroad year tutor and he mentioned to me that the University of Toronto was extremely competitive and hard to get into. They required that all study abroad students that applied had achieved a First Class in their first year of University. Now, as the first year of University does not really count towards your grade I was happy to get an Upper-Class Second (2.1) during that year so I did not really work as hard to gain that first.  So as I knew that I did not have the grades required for Toron...

A little bit about me

Hey everyone, So I have decided to start a blog for my photography page. Even though most of the posts have been taken in the past now I still wanted to share some information in respect of the places I have been to.  Over the course of my blog I just want to share some fun facts and some tips in relation to travelling. I have learnt a lot for myself and I would love to share my journey with the rest of the world. I hope you all find my posts interesting and can take something away from them.  Now that I have given you the purpose behind my blog. I thought I will provide a little intro into who I am. My names Aisha and I am 22 years old. Very soon I will be 23. (The age that no one really cares about) I am an LLB law graduate with a year abroad. (Okay feels like I am rewriting my LinkedIn profile now) Aside from that, I think I am a cool, outgoing and fun girl who enjoys travelling a lot. It all definitely started with my year abroad. Even though I had travelled ...
