It is coming up on the one-year anniversary of my return from Australia, and I want to go back just as much as I wanted to as soon as I stepped foot in America. The final video (you are not crying, I am) echoes the first; it consists of my friends reflecting on their experiences… Continue reading Oz From Sara’s Eyes: Final Thoughts & Final Sights

Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Queenstown, New Zealand
On today’s episode of me sorrowfully yearning to be back in the land down under, I take you to Queenstown, New Zealand. I had no idea I would be so moved by this energetic city, but between the extremely kind people, breathtaking views and endless list of adrenaline-pumping activities, a piece of my heart lives… Continue reading Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Queenstown, New Zealand
Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Sydney and Cairns
During my semester in Australia, I was lucky enough to have my best friend and traveling partner visit me for a week with one of his best friends. Per usual, we made the fullest of our time and explored three cities: Sydney, Cairns and Queenstown, New Zealand. Some of our adventures took us up a… Continue reading Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Sydney and Cairns
Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Rottnest Island
I spent a weekend on Rottnest Island, which is a little paradise just offshore of Perth. When I was there, I referred to it as a “playground,” which makes sense because it offers so much for all ages to enjoy. People can take advantage of its secluded coves, crystal-clear waters, reefs, and surf breaks. The… Continue reading Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Rottnest Island
Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Northwest Outback Trip H20
There are so many beautiful things to see on land, but even more to discover on and under the water! Being the water-lover that I am, I did not have the heart to cut out enough aquatic footage to fit into my previous two outback videos, so I made one just dedicated to H20. In… Continue reading Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Northwest Outback Trip H20
Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Northwest Outback Trip Part 2
This video features many clips of of quad-riding along the coast of Coral Bay as the sun set, which was an incredible add-on that only my friend group did, some aboriginal artwork sighting and waterfall climbing at Karijini National Park, and a whole lot of smiling. As I said last week, I took an abundance of… Continue reading Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Northwest Outback Trip Part 2
Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Northwest Outback Trip Part 1
At this time last year, I had just gotten back from a 9-day trip to Australia’s Northwest outback. The trip was planned by Murdoch University’s study abroad and exchange office in tandem with the company Australian Adventure Travel and I was fortunate enough to get a spot on the trip along with about 40 other… Continue reading Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: Northwest Outback Trip Part 1
Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: O-Week
The time I have been so excited for since I first started rolling out videos from Australia is finally here…I am posting my videos for public viewing! I have had some of these videos completed for over a year now, so you can imagine how much suspense has built up to show people my experiences… Continue reading Oz Through Sara’s Eyes: O-Week
Australia: One Year Later
It has been exactly one year since I landed in Perth, Australia to study abroad. When I realized this, I could not believe the anniversary had snuck up so soon. It seems as if I have been in a state of longing for clear waters rolling onto sandy shores, ginormous waves crashing on towering rock… Continue reading Australia: One Year Later
Thankful for Study Abroad
This time last year, I was fully aware that I was studying abroad in Australia the following semester. However, at the Thanksgiving dinner table I shied away from fully admitting it to my great aunts and uncles, because of the slight chance something might go wrong. Now, at this Thanksgiving, I did not have anything… Continue reading Thankful for Study Abroad
