Great morning - and welcome back to Great Morning Abroad! This episode, I'm weighing up the pros and cons of living in a halls of residence, compared to living in an apartment, particularly when you're studying abroad in a new country. I've done both, and there are benefits to both - so hopefully this episode helps your decision! I'll also be giving a few tips along the way about how to find an apartment :)

If you're looking to do your own travel adventure, I'd HIGHLY recommend using a wise card (if you're from Australia or NZ) - super low fees to load on money, really competitive exchange rates and they're free to set up and use!

Great morning - and welcome back to Great Morning Abroad! This episode, I wanted to talk about how I deal with exhaustion while I'm travelling, and why it's so important not to forget about rest days! There's always so much to see and do in your new cities, but it's also important to remember that you'll enjoy your time far more if you take time off to recover, especially when you're on the road for a few months.

Great morning - and welcome back to Great Morning Abroad! This episode is all about how you can have a great morning (almost!) every morning while travelling on a group tour - and just solo travelling generally! It can be really tough to not feel fomo when you're sick, get lonely when you and your roomie aren't friends, and focus on all the things you didn't get to do and see, so I'm here to remind you to be grateful for what you have seen and navigate through the lows of a group tour! I'll also briefly touch on when and where the best places for group tours are :)

Great morning - and welcome back to Great Morning Abroad! This episode is all about the pros and cons of solo travelling, and why I love it so much! Solo travelling gets you out of your comfort zone, helps you make heaps of new friends, and gives you the flexibility to do things at your own pace and with your own budget. However, there's always downsides too - it can be a bit more lonely and more expensive, but I'll also talk about ways to overcome this.

Great morning - and welcome to the new series, Great Morning Abroad! Today I figured I'd go through how I got started planning my trip! For me, it all centered around Europe (so I could see a heap of new countries at once, and practice my Spanish while on exchange!) - I made a list of the places I wanted to see and found a group tour that did as many of them as possible! I'll be sharing some considerations - how long do you have, what's your budget, etc. - and showing how these can also play a role in planning a trip. Now go get out there and see the world!!
