Our journey in Brazil has come to an end, but to reflect, here are a few things I missed in my recent blog posts. We visited the Indigenous Peoples Memorial. In this space, we were shown culture from many parts of Brazil. We visited the Socio-Environmental Institute (ISA), which is a non-profit Brazilian civil society…Continue Reading Our Journey through Brazil
We are really getting down to the last two weeks here; it is so crazy how fast time goes. Sometimes I feel like I have not done enough with my time here, but then I also look through my photos and realise that this has been a completely mind-blowing experience. I have truly done so…Continue Reading Sustainability Week

The week began with a morning of work, followed by seeing my parents for the last time before they flew back to New Zealand. We took a train and a rickshaw to Bandra. I kid you not; the second we got to the beach at Bandra, I fell very ill. AGAIN! This photo was taken…Continue Reading So Different, So Beautiful, So Breathtaking
I would like to dedicate my final blog on this journey to my internship at RingZero Game Studio. There have been many highs and lows. Work has fluctuated between fulfilling and mundane many times, which is to be expected. Although graphic design is something I have an interest in, I have realised that I would…Continue Reading End of Journey: my internship in Bangkok
Everland Theme Park Since the Lunar New Year was the only holiday we got during our exchange, we decided to make a trip to the Everland Theme Park since it is outside of Seoul.
