Welcome to my new blog!

When I found myself in El Paso, Texas for another semester of studying abroad, I wasn’t sure whether to change the name of my other blog or start a fresh one.

There are plenty of things this semester has in common with my exchange student experience last year at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Guadalajara, Mexico. I’m away from home for four months in a different country, studying at a different university. El Paso is on the border of Texas and Mexico, so there is a large Mexican population here and strong Hispanic culture. I’ll be living with and taking classes with complete strangers, some of whom will hopefully become good friends.

I’ve decided that a new experience deserves a new blog. So welcome to An Aussie in Texas! I’m planning to post about the University of Texas El Paso (UTEP), El Paso, Texas and any other parts of the US that I visit while I am here.

Expect to see lots of photos, some videos and my thoughts on various aspects of my stay, and probably lots of other random stuff as well!

Wagon Wheels was the last item on my shopping list... SO I THOUGHT! Until I saw that Cadbury brought out lamington chocolate bars especially for me to take to Texas! (or for the Olympics, same difference) #eatdawagonwheel #anaussieclassic #anaussieintexas #vustudyabroad #utep
