I studied abroad in Shanghai, China and traveled to many cities around the country. Check out my pictures on Flickr for a taste of the insight I can provide: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ericaswallow/sets/72157622728040015/.

Born and raised in the United States, I can give you a really great grasp of the places you should go and the sites you should see while in America. Food, sites, and experiences – you've got it!

I traveled to Sydney for a month in 2013 and enjoyed staying in a number of spots. I stayed in Airbnb spots, on Bondi Beach, in the center of Syndney… I can tell you lots about places to go, things to try, and experiences to have!
