Hey guys, So, it’s been a while since story time with Cecilia, but in the spirit of Halloween (apologies, this was written on Halloween, but I forgot to post 😅), I’ve got a slightly squeamish, slightly scary story in store for you. It’s got a happy ending, though so...
Before starting my exchange, both UoA and HKU made a big presentation about culture shock, homesickness and adapting to the new environment. At the time I really didn’t think these things would affect me, and for the most part I guess didn’t, but it’s because I...
Theory: People are much nicer if you speak to them in their native language. I’m not sure if there’s any scientific evidence behind this, but if my experience in Hong Kong counts as an experiment, I’d vouch for it 😉. Some background: the main languages spoken in Hong...
Helloooo friends! One of the earliest posts I did this year was a ‘what’s in my bag’ video, showing you guys the junk useful things I had in my bag during my time at UoA. Coming to Hong Kong, things are really different here so I thought I do a...
Hey guys, So a few weeks ago some friends and I went to Shenzhen for a day trip as its quite close to Hong Kong (around 2 hours by MTR, costing approx 90 HKD return). I tried to do it vlog style. Lets just say I ended up with heaps of shaky and unusable footage paired...

So, its 2:00pm right now and I’m sitting in my room with a bowl of half-finished oatmeal by my side listening to the typhoon rage outside my window. Not exactly the picture of exchange I had in mind. It’s been about a week into my time in Hong Kong, I thought I’d do a...
Hello Hello! As mentioned in my mini vlog series about 360 Exchange, I’m heading off to The University of Hong Kong for exchange in Semester Two! I currently have around 2 weeks left (at the time of writing 🤪) in New Zealand, which means I’ve been stuck at home, and...
Helloooo! Welcome to the last installment of my ‘intro to exchange’ videos (click here for the previous one), this one has a small bit of ranting in it (as at the time of filming the I was probably still going through the stages of grief 😂). As mentioned...
Hello Hello! If you haven’t watched my introduction to 360 exchange video, click here. If you have, watch on! Note: At the time of filming applications for 2020 Semester 1 were still open but not too sure about now! Link to 360 Abroad Semester Exchange page...
