We've collected these coins from both games to discover new Aussie things.

Wild Kangaroos! Hiking in Ngunnawal Country.

For a formal orentation to Fulbright, we travelled to Canberra for a few days, Australia's capital city and the seat of its federal government. We went for an hours-long hike to try to find kangaroos and were so excited to see a couple in the distance on our soggy hike. Then, upon boarding our train back to Sydney that day, we saw several kangaroos much closer than on the hike, including a baby, and two big ones that started duking it out!

    Sharing my sabbatical adventure in Australia with my partner and our two young boys. We are staying in Sydney for 4 months on a Fulbright Scholar Award.

    I'm writing this blog to (1) demystify the nature of a sabbatical (I didn't really know what they were either until I started one), and (2) serve my aim as cultural ambassador between the U.S. and Australia in the spirit of Fulbright.
