Undertaking an academic exchange program in Australia is the most amazing experience I have ever had in my life. It is a very valuable opportunity for me to study abroad and more importantly, to explore the bigger world.

This is my first time to travel somewhere else out of the Asia region. Everything in Australia is new and awesome. I spent most of my time in Brisbane and I found that the lifestyle here is very different from Hong Kong. As you may know, Hong Kong is such a busy city with a fast-paced lifestyle. People in Hong Kong do not have much time to relax and enjoy their time in the public recreation area. In contrast, people do know how to enjoy their life in Brisbane. Especially in Southbank, there is a man-made beach located in the centre of the city for people to swim, have a sunbath or go picnic. The environment there is very comfortable and relaxing. I love this place so much and I will definitely miss it after going back to Hong Kong.

Besides, I also travelled to Byron Bay, Gold Coast and Melbourne during weekend and the Easter holiday. I was impressed by the stunning natural environment and the beautiful view in those places. The beaches are gorgeous and I also got the chance to see many distinct animals in the national park. In addition, I met many people during the trips and they were all very friendly and helpful. Therefore, I truly enjoy travelling in Australia.

Last but not least, I would like to express my gratitude towards the Endeavour Australia Cheung Kong Awards Program for being supportive and providing the scholarship for me to explore this amazing country.
