I’ve already managed to go on a road trip with my classmates to Cairns and Port Douglas, where I felt the real Australian life, just as I imagined it. To sum it up, I’m satisfied, I’m enjoying every moment and I’m looking forward to being here. Australia is beautiful and although Sydney is not 100% representative, so far everything meets my expectations and I’m happy here.

I really like Sydney because it’s a very beautiful city with a lot of activities to do. You can catch the train and go to the beaches, chilling on the sand, playing volley ball or do surfing. You can also see animals in zoo, in sanctuary and also in the wildlife. I enjoy going to nightclubs, bars, festivals and eating in restaurants.
