"A weekend trip during mid-semester break in WA to visit Lancelin, The Pinnacles, Green Head, Lesueur National Park and Hangover Bay." - from our Global Ambassador Elizabeth in Australia 🦘 'During recess week at NUS, I was fortunate enough to travel to Vietnam; visiting Hanoi, Ninh Binh and Ha Giang for the Ha Giang loop. The loop was a once in a lifetime experience, I will never forget. Studying in Singapore has given me the opportunity to travel nearby countries easily, exploring parts of the world I have never seen before. Hopefully more travelling to come!' - from our GA Florence in Singapore 🇸🇬 'My first month settling in to a new life in The Hague, consisting of a lot of exploring along beautiful canals, nearby towns, and getting used to being a student in the city of peace and justice!' - our Global Ambassador Eliza in The Netherlands! 🇳🇱 'My friends and I took a day trip to the Toronto Islands while the weather is still warm. We hired bikes and cycled around the whole island, taking regular photo breaks! (The CN Tower featuring in most photos, of course). Thinking about going abroad as part of your degree but you don't know where to start 🤔 The Go Abroad team is sending a massive welcome to all of our students at the start of this year 👋 "My mid-semester break road trip around the South Island of New Zealand. Some of these photos are from Roy’s Peak, the Franz Josef glacier, brunch in Christchurch and watching a rail jam in Wanaka." - from our GA Imogen in New Zealand! "My first few weeks in Sydney settling in by seeing the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, swimming in the North Sydney Olympic Pool, going whale watching, and going to Bronte beach" - from our GA Lucy in Sydney, Australia! "What a way to spend the teaching break- exploring Kuala Lumpur, George Town and Langkawi, Malaysia" from our GA Elena in Australia!
