Sydney is a bit like New York City on a Working Holiday Visa in Australia: there's always a new restaurant to discover, an exhibition not to be missed, a trend to try, a neighborhood to stroll through… But that's not all! The city is home to the second largest port in the world, which generates numerous activities, attracts a lot of people, and, of course, creates many job opportunities. While Sydney is synonymous with opportunity and dynamism, it also boasts tranquil spots where nature reigns supreme. With its 75 different bays and beaches, the capital of New South Wales is also brimming with breathtaking scenery. So, are you tempted by life in Sydney?
The classes are going really well, with a suitable, gradual pace. There's no French spoken at school or where I'm staying, so that's great! So far, I love Manly Vale; it's a very pleasant town for going out and getting away from the big city center of Sydney.
I have a kind host family who takes the time to chat every day—it's fantastic.
I'm progressing slowly but surely, even though I have doubts some days and feel frustrated that I can't express myself as much as I'd like. Nothing unusual, it's all part of learning...
