First Go,


I’m setting up this page to record some of my adventures to those back home. It may also be of interest to those looking forward to spending a year abroad or, more generally, those interested in travel. 

As a Canadian University Student I will be taking part in a bilateral exchange between Queen’s University & Uppsala University. I will be spending one semester (August to January) in Sweden. During this time I will be taking a full course load through Uppsala U.  

I am working towards a B.A in Political Studies with a Minor in Global Development.  I have already enrolled in the following courses (taught in English) to take while on exchange:
  • Swedish Politics
  • Gender and Politics
  • Comparative Welfare States
  • Development and Armed Conflict
In addition to these, Uppsala University offers a free Basic Swedish course. At this point, I hope to take advantage of that opportunity. 

I leave Canada August 19th.
