    Reflecting on my Year Abroad

    April 11, 2025 /

    By Rhiann Singh, University of Ottawa Canada As I’m writing this I’m in my last 6 weeks into my final year here at UOM. It is crazy to think how fast my year abroad in Ottawa went and I can whole heartedly say that I do not regret a single thing.

    What I Packed for Studying Abroad in Canada (And What I Wish I Hadn’t)

    April 7, 2025 /

    By Rhiann Singh, University of Ottawa, Canada Packing your whole life into a suitcase (or two in my case) is an extremely stressful thing to do. As a chronic over-packer I found this really difficult. Hopefully these tips should help you plan on what to take.

    A Solo Weekend in Montréal!

    October 8, 2023 /

    By Rhiann Singh, University of Ottawa, Canada It sounds so cliche but if someone told me 9 months ago I would be solo travelling in Canada I actually would’ve laughed in their face! At the start of the year, I really struggled with my mental health, to the point where I couldn’t even leave my uni room. It got so bad, to the point where I was considering not even doing my year abroad. So for me to be sitting here writing about this trip is such an achievement and an example to others that it will eventually get better! This trip to Montréal was definitely spontaneous! I saw that…

    New Beginnings in Ottawa!

    September 14, 2023 /

    By Rhiann Singh, University of Ottawa, Canada The week before moving to Ottawa was such a hectic, overwhelming and emotional week filled with saying goodbyes and celebrating my 21st birthday early with my family and friends. If you don’t like celebrating your birthday like me, I definitely recommend doing a fake one. It’s all the fun of a birthday but without the actual ageing! Like always, I left all my packing and shopping till the last minute – definitely don’t recommend! – but I managed to be completely done the day before I left. I was so lucky that my Dad was able to come out with me to Ottawa,…
