Have you ever traveled somewhere and instantly fell in love with the culture, individuals, and environment? It almost felt as if that is where you belonged?

I had never felt this before until I studied abroad in Australia in the Spring of 2017. I fell in love with everything Australia had to offer; from the beautiful landscapes to laid back lifestyle and pure genuine individuals.

Everyone deserves to travel to Australia to take in the natural beauty of this country. There is no other place like it and there are so many other places you can travel to from Australia such as New Zealand, Fiji, Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

Every time I mention traveling to Australia to someone they reply with how expensive it is. In my opinion, the US is just as expensive if not more expensive than Australia, especially because the US dollar is strong there. In terms of flights, stay tuned for my future blog post on how to find cheap flights around the world.

As Chris Hemsworth said, “Australia is not just a place you see but it is a place that you feel.”
