So, recently I attended my graduation ceremony along with my peers. It was a glorious rainy day in Dublin, where everything left outside more than a few seconds would get soaked! Though the weather was not giving any joy, there where plenty of smiles on … Read More
Adrian Thurnwald – “Ballooning”
We went up in a balloon in Cappadocia. It was part of the deal of enticing my friend Tisho to come – Cappadocia and a balloon ride. We saved enough couchsurfing that it wasn’t too expensive. My favourite parts were when we hit a tree, … Read More

Natalie Donaldson – “Weekend Trip To Kangaroo Island”
Since my last blog I have visited Kangaroo Island! The weekend was a fantastic, although rather tiring jam-packed two days of non-stop activities! After a gruelling 6.30am departure from Flinders on Saturday morning, 15 of us made our way, by minibus, to Cape Jervis and … Read More
Adrian Thurnwald – “Couchsurfing In Turkey”
We’ve been doing ‘couchsurfing’, where you basically stay with people for free. It’s a ‘hospitality exchange’. It works really well. You actually meet and stay with locals. Couchsurfing dominates the moods and stories of the last week. And in medieval times, pilgrims would stay for … Read More

Adrian Thurnwald – “The Battle of Dorylaeum”
I went to Eskisehir, a marvellously modern student town once called Dorylaeum, and I trekked out to the highway junction where once the Crusade was nearly destroyed during the Battle of Dorylaeum. I thought it would all be quite boring but still I walked along … Read More
Adrian Thurnwald – “Hilltop Ruins”
My friend Tisho and I start marching up a hill. We can see the remains of a fortress at the very top. It soon becomes clear the track will not take us to the ruin so we leave the path and start scrabbling up through … Read More
Roman Maximyuk – “Hope For A Good End To The Semester”
It’s almost the end of the semester here. Summer holidays are approaching, but before that we will have a tough exam time. I had enough time after my last post to do all the work for my assignments and exams, but you know how it … Read More

Andrea Zurita – “Halloween Adventures”
Did I mention already that there are tons of things to do in Chicago? Well, this year I had a very hard time deciding what to do to celebrate Halloween. So many choices! My Halloween weekend started Thursday night when I became one of the … Read More
Chad Han Yixian – “Halloween: Down Under Style!”
Halloween is one of the celebrations that I look forward to. I’m a sucker for costumes and love parties with a theme. I recall that I dressed up as Clark Kent when I attended a Halloween party back in Singapore. I had to take the … Read More
Adrian Thurnwald – “First Day In Antioch”
Hatay. Antakya. Antioch. The city where the word ‘Christian’ was invented. The city that the First Crusaders besieged for nearly a year. When they finally captured it, through betrayal, they were quickly then themselves besieged by an army which greatly outnumbered them. The citadel, five … Read More
