Harriet
Jean Moulin University – France
Salut everyone, I’m Harriet! I am in my third and (hopefully) final year of a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in French and FTVMS, and am heading off to spend my last semester at Jean Moulin University in Lyon, France. I have always been passionate about (read: obsessed with) French culture and language, so finally having the chance to live there is an absolute dream come true for me. Lyon, from what I can tell from my avid google searches, is a stunning city on the banks of two rivers, and is often labelled the capital of gastronomy, so I can tell I’m in for a treat! I can’t wait to share my experience in Lyon and adventures elsewhere with all of you!
Rena

Shirley
McGill University – Canada
Hey everyone! My name is Shirley and I am so incredibly excited to share my exchange and travel memories with you to hopefully inspire those who want an experience like this. As a third year BE Honours student doing Civil and Environmental Engineering, writing and photography is completely different to my academic skills but has always given me the motivation to capture any amazing moment which comes by. It gives me a creative outlet to share those stories not just with others, but for me to later look back and reminisce to. If you’re interested in more, take a look on my personal blog (http://pageparisienne.blogspot.co.nz/) and keep checking back here for more updates on my adventures at McGill University in Montreal, Canada for Fall 2017.

Tim
University College Dublin – Ireland
Hi, I’m Tim! Hailing from the mighty south in Dunedin I moved to Wellington for high school and then the University of Auckland to study a conjoint BA/BE in Civil Engineering and French. Being half way through my 5 year degree I thought there was no better time to run away to University College Dublin for the second half of 2017! My interests include playing in a Pipe Band, participating in Model United Nations, and getting lost off the beaten track. I hope to share with you some of my adventures across Ireland and Europe, and we might just find a pot of gold along the way!
John
Nanyang Technological University – Singapore
John is living the life of an exchange student in Singapore at Nanyang Technological University. John decided to go on an exchange because he strives to go on new adventures and face exciting challenges. That is also one of the reasons why he chose Singapore. It’s a fast-moving, multi-cultural and exciting island located at the warm equator. Usually, you will find him exploring new subjects, music, towns or mountains either by himself or with his friends. Knowing John, he likes to be in control of his finances. That is why he is studying Commerce, majoring in Accounting, Commercial Law and Taxation. If John could only have one tool for the rest of his life, it would be his camera. The camera is an extension of his eyes, enabling him to show others the exciting and wonderful moments that otherwise will be gone forever.

Looking forward to travelling with you (in a cyber way?)
