Over Easter break I travelled to Tasmania for eight days with one friend from the university and a fellow traveller from Germany. We decided to camp in order to save money and get the full natural experience, which is what Tasmania is know for. And the trip was such a success! We were able to see a large portion of the island state and were entirely independent of a strict schedule. Wildlife sightings were the highlights of our trip—we saw a wombat, a spotted quoll, and too many wallabies and birds to possibly count. Further, we got to experience the joys of self-guided travel, made possible by the small size of Tasmania and its abundant resources for tourists.

Her academic interests stretch across the social sciences, from history to geography to criminology, and, of course, to politics. Originally from Eugene, Oregon, Bailey is an devoted ultimate frisbee player and can't wait for Australian Rules Ultimate. When she's not on the field or nerding out about population growth in various countries, you can find her singing along to the best of the '60s and '70s and/or working to capture life, place, and person on camera. She is ready and eager to dive into life at a big university in a big city, all in the wonder Down Under.</span></p>
