I have developed a love for Wales. In fact, one of my friends has labelled me as an “honourary welshman”. The country is beautiful and there is so much to do. I’ve managed to travel to the north and some of the coastlines in the west. I’m looking forward to seeing some more beaches and scenic parts of Wales this summer. Cardiff is also a great city, it’s large enough to have all the main shops you would expect but also small enough to have community.

[My best experience so far at USW] has been a combination of the staff, students and Wales itself. The staff is welcoming and approachable and truly wants to see you succeed. The student body is made up of amazing individuals from all over the world, each with their own experiences they’re willing to share. Wales is a beautiful place drenched in history and provides a wonderful backdrop to stimulate inspiration.
