My name is Alexia Fan, I’m an exchange student from Sydney Australia. This is my last year of university and I'm trying to make the most of it before starting work.

I'm going to Beijing, China for exchange, but making my way around Europe because I've always wanted to visit!

I’ve also spent some time studying at the University of Pennsylvania on exchange. Exchange was so good, I'm going again!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

During the first semester of uni, I talked to the person sitting next to me on the bus to uni, everyday. I can only count around 5 times where I didn't do this (I was cramming for exams instead)

教，学，和分享

You are an amazing human being with potential.

Your brain is a powerful tool. Be conscious of it. Ask it the right questions, and you'll receive the right answers.
