One thing I personally look forward to is simply the opportunity to work both in my actual field of study, and abroad, potentially two new and undoubtedly fantastic experiences.

I’m doing my placement year in Sydney with Intern Options. The thing I like most is the people I work with are really cool. And down the road is a park where I can go sit in the sun for my lunch break.

I actually can’t wait to set a foot in Australia and actually be there to know that this all isn’t a dream! I’m really looking forward to meeting lots and lots of new people, discovering new cultures, seeing the sights, doing completely new things and of course learning useful skills while working! The sunshine is always a plus as well, compared to constant drizzle at home!

I am most looking forward to finding out about the Australian way of life; the culture and general atmosphere. I have heard so many amazing things about Australia from friends and family, so going there myself will hopefully prove to be a new and exciting experience where I can meet people from different backgrounds and learn about Australian culture. I aim to work all over the world in the future, so starting in Australia seems to present itself as a perfect start!
