Exchange students are particularly lucky at Tec De Monterrey as every 5 weeks we have a ‘semana tec’. Semana tec (tec week in english) is similar to a mid semester break where no assignments are due. As Tec De Monterrey has 18 weeks in their semester, we get 3 weeks in total of semana tec….Continue Reading Adventures Across the Agricultural Land
Hey guys! I am halfway through my semester and wanted to touch on my accommodation, classes and how exchange has been so far. My accommodation is East Newington Place and it was been great. I share a flat with 3 other students (a mix of exchange and first-year students). The location is great as it’s…Continue Reading Checking in from Edinburgh!
One of my favorite parts of exchange is being able to explore a new country with people from across the globe. The energy of exchange students is irreplaceable.

Last Saturday I…Continue Reading Two Sides of a Coin: The Bright and the Dark
I ran into this perfume a couple of days before in Seoul and I definitely loved it (it’s from Le Labo). A unique take on the “icon of citruses,” the lemon, Citron 28 reflects Seoul, “a city rooted in tradition and history, yet at the forefront of all that is modern and forward-thinking.” where it…Continue Reading Citron 28 – Seoul City Exclusive
23/02/2023 – 29/02/2023 Leon is famous for leather goods and footwear. We visited a giant multinational leather company – Cuadra, and its leather goods production. Each pair of shoes was well crafted by multiple workers under an assembly line. I was fascinated by the dazzling and fast pace production process. Cuadra was definitely my favourite…Continue Reading Week 3 – Leon
KU’s main building in September vs December Here we are, my final blog post. Hard to believe it’s already been four months since I came to Korea. My semester is officially done 😭 Deciding to come on exchange has been one of the best decisions I think I have made so far. The experience really is…Continue Reading Evelyn: 얘들아~~ 고생 많이 했다!
Throughout my exchange in Denmark, I have had the privilege of visiting many other places in Europe and within Denmark as well. It has been incredibly easy to travel to another country and flights can be relatively cheap if booked in advance (about the cost of an expensive Uber on a night out in Auckland),…Continue Reading Oscar: Travelling in Europe
