As I set out on this adventurous journey of the unknown and excitement of studying abroad in Sydney, Australia at Macquarie University I wanted to capture and journal about all my experiences. Along the way, not only do I hope to make many life long friendships, but I also can't wait to meet the handful of family I still have over here in Australia.

Number 7 for World's Most Expensive City (May 31)
If you look up world's most expensive cities to live in, Sydney is listed as number 7. As a study abroad college student it is quite hard to live here just because everything is so expensive but it is all worth it. When I first came over here the US dollar was weak, so I lost quite a bit when I came over. Recently it has switched, now the US dollar is strong again. I got very unlucky with the timing of how weak or strong the dollar is, but oh well. I am just so grateful I was able to make enough money before I came so I had a decent amount to live off of and I am also very happy that I was able to work a bit while I was here to help me out with some extra expenses I was not expecting. Overall, even though this is one of the most expensive cities to live in, it was all worth it. I would not have changed anything. It has been a life changing and amazing experience.
