    April 28, 2025 /

    By Andrew Mortimer, University of Toronto Mississauga, Canada In order to make the most of being on the other side of the world, and with the enthusiastic recommendation of my housemate from Calgary, I decided to go even further from home by flying out to Western Canada. I decided to go on the 8th of May, a week after my final exams had finished, so that I had great weather and minimal fellow tourists.

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.
