While I have been here coming up on four months, I am about half way through my semester here at University of Calgary, which began at the end of August. The weather for the most part has been amazing, other than a couple of weeks of rain.

It’s something we really don’t get in NZ so truly made living in Calgary a totally unique experience for me. Continue reading UCalgary Recap

UCalgary is in a unique spot compared to New Zealand, due to the large amount of snow they get, especially in their Winter term (ie. January-April). This year the snow is only just melting away now in the beginning of April, and comparatively, they have not had that much snow this year (it has been a warm winter). It can get down to about -30 degrees Celsius! Continue reading Life at University of Calgary
