Our last G’day mates! (From Canada this time) Looking back on our two months in Australia, it’s hard to believe how much we experienced and learned together. When we first met, the five of us barely knew each other, two studying secondary education and three in primary. Suddenly, we were living together on the other side of the world, trying to plan trips, manage coursework, and figure out daily life in a new country. Not everything went smoothly.
