    Prepping

    September 13, 2023 /

    By Olivia Bucherer-Ezer, University of Toronto, Canada It’s been just over a year since I packed up my life and set across the pond to start my year abroad in Toronto and it got me thinking about all the thoughts, fears and anxieties I had that, in retrospect, I truly didn’t need to worry about. So I thought it was suitable to whack them in a blog in case they provide any reassurance for those heading out this coming September.

    A guide to finding accommodation in Toronto

    May 23, 2023 /

    By Olivia Bucherer-Ezer, University of Toronto, Canada Time to plan where to stay in Toronto? Let’s break some options down.  Just a cheeky disclaimer before we get into the nitty gritty’s of Toronto’s accommodation options… this is all based on mine or my friends experiences, which are obviously subjective so don’t be completely put off if you already something in mind. This is more of a guidance in case you have absolutely no clue where to start… just as I did this time last year.  So lets jump in and hopefully this can be of use!

    (Otherwise known, by a girl in my lecture, as the “Wannabe New York”. either way, no complaints.) by Olivia Bucherer-Ezer, University of Toronto, Canada Exactly two weeks into my adventure, it’s safe to say Toronto was nothing like I expected it to be… (in a good way don’t worry).
