This is the cathedral of Palermo in Sicily, which I visited for three nights during our mid-term break. Sicily was breath-taking, the history, architecture and food. We also spent a day at the beach as it was still boiling mid october! It’s a place I would highly recommend to everyone.

This was our campus pool, our favourite spot to cool off after class! It had a 10m diving board, which I finally plucked up the courage to jump from by the end of the semester, and an Olympic-sized 50m pool. We also practiced our scuba diving course here with the university diving club before heading into the ocean, which was pretty cool. So many fun memories were made here!

This is a view of the Brisbane skyline from a study area on the QUT campus. The campus is located in the heart of the city's botanic gardens, giving a feeling of being deep in nature. However, the CBD looms right beside, giving us the best of both worlds.

This was the trip that cemented our strong friendship lasting the whole exchange and beyond.

Attending the wedding of a family I've never met in India is the epitome of adventure. My friend living in Scotland invited me but couldn't make it himself. His family took me in and allowed me to experience their culture. This included wearing traditional dress and performing choreographed dances with the bride and her brothers. The fact someone dropped the phone mid-picture also adds to the chaotic nature of the entire event.
