    Johor Bahru – Singaporeans’ Favourite Getaway

    October 16, 2024 /

    By Thatthep Sae-Lim. Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Back in early September, I got the chance to be back in Singapore again. The main reason for my visit was to attend a concert with my friends. However, this blog will not be about the concert or Singapore itself, but about my first time to Johor Bahru.

    Japan…. once again!

    September 26, 2024 /

    By Thatthep Sae-Lim. Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Every time I go to Japan, I always find myself thinking of going back again. I’ve never acted on this impulsivity of just booking another Japan trip right after one another, but I did it this time around. To me, Japan is a country I can visit a million times and still never get bored of. Unlike my previous Japan trip, it was late spring and not winter. So, the weather was just nice to walk around.

    Favourite places in Singapore

    September 19, 2024 /

    By Thatthep Sae-Lim. Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Being back in Singapore again for this exchange year brought back so many memories of when I lived there throughout secondary school. I was able to go to many of my favourite places with my best friends again during my exchange and I will be sharing them in this blog. As someone who had lived accumulatively six years in Singapore, I found myself visiting Marina Bay and Sentosa a lot. If you ever googled where to go in Singapore, these two places are definitely on the list.

    NTU exchange – 10 months recap

    September 9, 2024 /

    By Thatthep Sae-Lim. Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. I’ve been trying to find the best way to reflect and recap my experiences doing an exchange at NTU for the longest time and I think theres no better way to put a closure to my exchange by looking back at the most interesting or memorable things that happened month by month.

    Koh Samui – My most favourite place on earth

    September 5, 2024 /

    By Thatthep Sae-Lim. Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. As a Thai person, who has been living most of my life abroad, I didn’t really have many opportunities to travel around Thailand. Back when covid was still a thing, I was stuck in Thailand for 3 years and it has given me the chance to explore this beautiful country. I first visited Koh Samui in December 2020 and have always wanted to go back ever since. Thanks to this study abroad year for bringing me closer to home and allowing me to visit Koh Samui again, in December last year. Based on my experiences being in Koh Samui twice, I can truly…

    What to expect – NTU exchange

    September 3, 2024 /

    By Thatthep Sae-Lim. Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Now that my exchange had ended for a few months, I finally have the time to sit and reflect on my experiences at NTU. Although this was not my first time living in Singapore, I have definitely learnt a lot from this experience, simply because of the significant differences of how things are at NTU compared to UOM.

    Winter in Japan

    August 25, 2024 /

    By Thatthep Sae-Lim, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Since I was doing my exchange in Singapore, it’s given me the opportunity to frequently travel with my mom, who live in Thailand. Since I’ve always been obsessed with Japan and I was really longing to spend some times in a cold climate after living in Singapore for awhile, we decided to go to Japan for two weeks in January.

Here are photos from my end of year trip from Yosemite, Zion and Joshua Tree National Parks from our Global Ambassador Lucy 🧡 #uomgoabroad #globalambassador Some pics from our summer school students who are currently my in Bordeaux, France (yes, the summer school has its very own dog) ☀🇫🇷🥐 #uomgoabroad These are from my journey on the California Zephyr Amtrak train, from Chicago to San Francisco. The journey was 56 hours but the views of the Rockies and Sierra Nevada were incredible! It is a great trip to do to see more of the USA and also be more sustainable as your carbon emissions are much lower travelling by train compared to flying. - GA Lucy 🚉 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador The last year of my life without a doubt has been the most incredible. I met wonderful people, tasted things I couldn't have imagined and saw the most beautiful sights. Not only did I get to learn a language, but I got to learn about our amazing world and more importantly, Mexico. In my last few weeks, I had the privilege of continuing my travels within Mexico and getting to see how my friends from UDLAP grew up and the culture that raised them. With so many colours even in the streets, its no surprise my friends are so joyful. México, te extraño mucho <3 🇲🇽🧡 Sunny afternoon in Amsterdam - GA Lily ☀️🇳🇱 Go Abroad is hiring! 📣 Photos from our GA Kara's semester in New Zealand - featuring the Routeburn track! 🇳🇿 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador My friends and future Manchester housemates came to visit me from London. I showed them around New York City! Despite it being chilly we had a lot of fun!! GA Hannah 🗽 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador Pics from our GA Hannah - "I got to visit Chicago as a stop before heading back to London. I now know why they call it the windy city - even in May!" 🇺🇸 #uom_goabroad #globalambassador
