My birth place! I moved to Australia when I was 6, so most of my personal identity is linked to here rather than my place of birth- Excited to explore this further and learn new things through this subject :)

Through out generations my family owned 11 hectares of land here. I could yap on about this place for hours.

I was lucky enough to have my 11th birthday here while I travelled with my family. I will never forget the chocolate lava cake from my family’s favourite restaurant there ‘Blue Note’. I’d love to keep travelling and learning about all different languages, traditions and of course food.

A short walk from my home, being at this lookout brings me a lot of peace and just sitting and being in nature is one of my favourite things to do. Hi, my name is Teagan and I'm keen to learn more about Intercultural Communication so it can better help me understand others and engage with them better in my future work.

I went to Singapore for a 2-week startup bootcamp. It was a core memory and a highlight for uni. I enjoyed the hawker centres, the kaya toast and the fact that you'll never have to plan what to do because there's always something to do in Singapore. I enjoyed the memories there, I enjoyed talking with the locals and making new friends.

My dad’s family is Turkish, and I’ve been lucky enough to visit the beautiful country a couple times. Whenever I’m in Turkey I feel a heightened sense of connection to my cultural heritage, family, and cultural identity, where I’m able to explore and express these areas fluently. Their streets are like a community everywhere you go, and I always feel embraced whilst I’m there. It’s a different kind of comfortability compared to Australia.

Out of all the countries I've been lucky enough to visit, my one trip to Croatia is one that has always positively stood out in my memory. The last time I got to enjoy a Euro Summer and getting to enjoy it with my family and cousins with that fun aspect of childhood wonder. Makes me nostaligic.

My dad's side of the family is from Tamil Nadu, with my grandma and dad now living in Australia, but still telling stories of their time living there. Although it was a difficult time for them, it made them the people they are today and the people they try to shape me to be.

This is were I grew up and my family sill lives there. In Germany we have a word called "Heimat", which is translated to be more of the place you grew up in, or that really feels like home. I´m not living there anymore, because of my studies, but Dresden will always be the place closer to my heart

I lived in Johor before moving to Sydney with my family, and it's still where I consider my home despite not being Malaysian myself. What I found interesting about living there is the fact that ethnicity and culture never really hindered the harmony (for the most part). I would go to school and see multiracial friend groups speaking in a mix of different languages with none of them missing a beat - it is truly 'satu (one) Malaysia'. That is why I think this subject is relevant to me.

My Mum's family is from Avegno in Switzerland. Her great grandfather, Antonio, was a church builder and built and is buried at the church at the top of my street. She only found this out after she and my dad had bought this house.

This place is important to me as the values and experiences I acquired here molded me into who I am today. I am Carl, and I am a geologist. This subject is relevant to me as I realised the value of communication towards people from various backgrounds as I progress to my career facing unfamiliarity and challenges.

Kerala is known as God's own country, a reflection of the natural beauty of the location. It is where most of my extended family live and where my parents grew up. I was born here and lived here for about 1.5 years before moving to Australia. This subject is relevant to me because I can empathise with other people's intercultural experiences through my own experience, as an immigrant, and as people living in a multicultural country, I believe intercultural communication is such a significant concept to educate yourself in.

My entire family on my mother's side lives in Malaysia, and I've visited every year since I was born! It's just as much my home as Sydney is

This is where I was born and grew up in. I used to dislike this city as I felt it was constrictive/small in terms of the people and culture. But now since leaving for university, I've come to respect the things I've grown to love about it. Specifically the food but meh, other things too.

This small island is the Northernmost island in the Kingdom of Tonga and is special to me as it is where my family on my father's side originates. Although they now reside in Nuku'alofa, Tonga's main island, Niuafo'ou will always be significant for me and my family. One of the reasons I am interested in Intercultural Communications is my mixed heritage and wanting to one day further my studies in ecocide and the relationships between Australia and the Pacific, specifically the Kingdom of Tonga, due to its unique position with the Commonwealth.

Exeter has remained a central location in my life, despite how frequently my mother and I have moved around. This means that I have seen the Highlands grow and evolve over time, particularly as the population demographics grow and change.
