As the end of my college career was coming to an end, I still had not fulfilled one of the goals I set for myself my freshman year, to study abroad. I researched my options the summer before my senior year, and with 3 semesters remaining; I knew it was impossible to study abroad for a semester. I came across a 3-week photography class in Australia for the month of July, and I knew immediately I found exactly what I was looking for. Not only would a photography class fulfil a requirement for my major, but also Australia has always been a country I wanted to visit. This experience would give me more than the opportunity to visit the country but rather to be emerged in the culture by living there for a short period of time, while coming away with photographs to add to my portfolio.

With less than a week remaining, I have come away with everything I wanted to gain and more. I could not ask for a better experience. This program gave me the opportunity to see parts of Australia that a tourist does not usually experience. I not only leave Australia with all the memories, but with the photos taken along the way.
