Melbourne is a wonderful city that has a delectable combination platter of culture, arts, outdoors activities, entertainment, and nightlife. I can honestly say, without an ounce of exaggeration, that spending five months in this city was the most incredible experience of my life thus far. I could attempt to explain what it was like to watch the ocean glitter as the last rays of sunlight melted behind the giant rock monoliths of Twelve Apostles beach on the Great Ocean Road, but only the friends I shared this moment with can truly appreciate its dreamlike beauty. If you asked me, I could tell you what it was like to be a member of the Melbourne University Surf Club, however the stories are simply too outrageous to put down in words. I can probably tell you a dozen stories that will awe you, amaze you, and convince you why Melbourne is the city to go, but I am simply running out of room. I leave you with this bit of truth: the places you will go, the things you will see, the people you will meet, and the adventures you will partake will undoubtedly change your life. I can’t wait to go back!
