To the mattresses and couches!

So in my final leg of exchange, I am officially homeless.

Since my internship was extended til next week, but my summer sublease ended August 13, I'm currently couch-surfing with my Austin friends. Certainly I'm very glad to have met them.

Going back to my nomadic ways has given me a lil taste of my travels over the next couple weeks. My best uni friend from Queensland, Ashlee-Maree is visiting me on Monday and then we're catching an overnight-bus to Monterrey, Mexico, on Thursday to visit our friend Chloe. It's been a while since I've travelled to a country previously untravelled, and I'm getting excited and nervous about the pending adventures!

Well this ninja is definitely, well and truly at the end of exchange. Next week will be the last two tapings of the summer for me at Austin City Limits and I don't even want to think about not showing up three days a week at the office. ACL is one of my dream jobs! One day I hope to be in a similar position, perhaps paid and who knows where in the world.

I've decided to label myself an ex-exchange student to the new batch. And I'm still hanging around because I finished my degree and I did two internships while being in Austin, both in television.

After submitting my exit-questionnaire to my home university, I only know that every exchange student after me will be even better taken care of and know more about what Austin and the University of Texas exchange experience is going to offer them. Why would you choose anywhere else?!
