so hi everyone! I have just under 10 days left in this country and i can’t believe how fast the time has gone. It is crazy! I will be creating a post in a few weeks with a massive debrief about everything I have learnt this year and all the highlights but I thought for […]

I just thought I would display a little gallery here with photos from my favourite city in the world: Biel/Bienne (the town I live in here in Switzerland). All these pictures are from the past few weeks so you can really see how beautiful summer is in Switzerland!    

Hello everyone,   This is very late but here is a video with heaps of pictures and short clips from my awesome 17 day trip around europe. Enjoy!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGHqRG6AStA&feature=youtu.be   Jaimee x

Dancing on a Mountain In early June, my host dad and 3 of our family friends went on a 5 hour hike up a mountain in Switzerland. But it wasn’t just any ordinary hike. One of the friends is a student at a university in Zurich who is studying to become a dancer. She is […]

Hallo! So as you have probably read in my past posts I am on school holidays which means lots of time to explore this beautiful country. Last week I spent 2 really fun days in 2 different cities which both start with the letter L and I kept on getting mixed up. The weather is […]

Have you ever been in 3 countries at the same time? I have. A few days ago, me, Alex and Chloe went to Basel for the day. We visited a sculpture called Dreilaendereck which means three countrys something (I don’t know the last bit) and it is located right on the point where Germany, France and […]

Hoi everyone! (and just in case you think I can;t spell ‘hi’; ‘hoi’ is a swiss german greeting) So I am now on school holidays which makes me extremely happy as I am absolutely exhausted! It is also spring and I have so many places I want to visit now that the weather is warmer […]

Being an exchange student means that you start of the year having mostly just exchange friends which unfortunately are spread all across the country meaning it would take me hours to visit them. So on those couple of days during the holidays where I was a bit bored (and a little lonely) I decided to […]

2 or 3 weeks ago Ella, Nadja and I woke up super early  to go on a day trip to Chamonix in France. It took about 3 hours on the train with a lot of different transfers but after we disembarked from the final tiny train we were met with a spectacular view. Chamonix is […]

Hello everyone! So I haven’t posted in a long, long time but I am about to spam you all with post after post after post. So sit down and enjoy because you are going to be reading for awhile! A few weeks ago, one of my best friends, Chloe (who is also an exchange student […]

Hello Everyone! On Sunday I went bushwalking with Chloe and her host family which was a lot of fun. We drove through the beautiful french countryside where we saw deers in the paddocks and the snow covered mountains in the background. After a short walk on an icy path we arrived at a frozen lake […]

Hey everyone! This post is pretty late. In fact it should have come before my school post but I just ran out of time. So anyway, here it is finally; a blog post about my amazing trip to Zermatt. On the Sunday before school started Ella, Lina and I woke up at 5:00am to hop […]

Last week was my first week at my new, german speaking school. It was also one of the longest and hardest weeks of my life. School in Switzerland is so different to Australian school which made settling in a challenge but a good challenge. I thought for this post I would show you a couple  […]

Intro: Some people have been wondering why I haven’t posted in so long. Well, for the past 2 weeks I have been at a Rotary language camp for the January Swiss inbounds and there was no wifi and hardly anyone had a swiss sim yet! There were 26 of us altogether, aged from between 14 […]

I had the most awesome day today! In the morning Lina, Ella and I just hung out at home (literally we hung in the hammock!) and I had chocolate croissants and delicious bread for brekky. At 1pm everyone including my host brother, Nemo (who I hadn’t met yet) hopped on a bus and rode 20 […]

The past 2 days have been a blur. On Friday I said tearful goodbyes to my family and other exchange students before hopping on a plane along with many other exchange students. After 7 hours of Tv and bad food we arrived at Singapore airport at the equivalent of around 1am in Australian time. So […]

I bet you have no idea. I feel like I don’t even realise what I am doing in just a few hours. Would you like to know what it is?   I am boarding a flight at Sydney airport headed towards Zurich airport ! Yes, you read that correctly! Tomorrow signifies the official beginning of […]

Hi everyone! This is just a short blog post to ask for any ideas or suggestions on what pins I should use. For those of you who aren’t exchange students and have no idea what I mean by ‘pins’ I will explain! Every exchange student no matter what country receives a blazer that vary in […]

Hello everyone! Welcome to my Rotary Youth Exchange Blog. For any of you that don’t know I am leaving for a year long exchange to Switzerland in 2018. Only 49 days to go and I am so excited! So I just thought I would give a quick update on what I have been doing in […]
