Mission ‘Use a required assignment as an excuse to make friends’
AuthorsIt’s easy to stick to the familiar. In my case, the American bubble.

Maeve Hurson is a 20 year-old psychology student from Galway, Ireland completing a

It was my first time traveling without my family and I soon realised that 3 weeks
