The OzTREKKER – January 2012 Edition

Have you followed through on your New Year’s resolution, but are struggling to keep it up? If you’re starting to waver and your resolution was to be more thoughtful, better organized or to transform into a social butterfly, then you’ll want to check out this month’s edition of The OzTREKKER!

Oot and Aboot in Oz. We hope you read that headline with a Canadian accent, eh? This month we profile a website that was created by a Canadian expat living in Australia. Missing all things Canuck, this expat launched a website in Australia, whereby people can order Canadian-themed paraphernalia, including Tim Hortons coffee, souvenir flip-flops and many more patriotic items.

Ready, Set, Jet to Australia! The countdown is on for many of our OzTREKK students, ready to begin their studies in late January and early February. You’ll have a number of things to accomplish when you arrive Down Under. We want to help you feel organized, so we put together a feature piece on understanding your mobile phone options in Australia.

Happy Australia Day! Australia celebrates itself on Jan. 26, and we outline what to expect on the big day if you’re currently living in Australia. Here’s a hint: beaches and fireworks should be on your agenda that day.
