You may think you are ready to come home after spending a year away, but trust me, all I want to do is go back. Here are some of the places in Singapore that I miss the most.

Here is how we spent one final week together on the most spoken about Indonesian island, Bali.

Amazing trip to Bali. Can’t wait to go back!! <3 - GA Alicia who's currently on exchange at HKUST #uomgoabroad #globalambassador "Here's the pictures from my most recent post on an average night in Canada. They show the northern lights which were usually visible from my school!" - GA Aleks 🇨🇦 #uomgoabroad #globalambassador Photos from GA Aleks' trip to Regina #uomgoabroad #globalambassador I visited Katsuoji Temple, known as the "Temple of Victory", in Minoh, Osaka for a field trip. There are thousands of Daruma dolls here left by visitors that represent perseverance and discipline against all odds. Would recommend for a day trip from Osaka city centre! - GA Gloria 🇯🇵 #uomgoabroad #globalambassador If you’re planning to visit the Go Abroad desk in the Atrium during exam season, please note we’ll be open Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10am–4pm ⏰ During my exchange, I was lucky enough to be involved in Netball USA. Being involved in the US Netball Open in Texas and meeting lots of American and other international netballers! - GA Amy 🏀🇺🇸 #globalambassador #uom_goabroad Best part of living in New Jersey is the access to trains/buses into New York City. NYC is amazing all year round from the Rockefeller tree at Christmas to summer evenings on the Brooklyn Piers. There is truly a new part of the city to explore every visit! - GA Amy 🗽🇺🇸 #globalambassador #uom_goabroad Are you a first-year student thinking about doing a study abroad in your third-year? Here are our GGAs top tips to get ahead of planning your year abroad (trust us, you’ll thank yourself next year!) ✈️🌍 #uom_goabroad Photos from Shaw's recent geophysics field trip to Afton Canyon! ⛰️ #globalambassador #uom_goabroad
