Help me fulfil my dreams by getting the opportunity to study in Sydney

A short summary of your project

I am raising money to help support and fund my year studying in Sydney, Australia from June 2025 in Marine Biology as well as extra units in Event and Festival Management. 

Who are you?

I am currently on my second year of a Marine Biology degree and about to start my third year which is studying abroad, I have been given the amazing opportunity to study in Sydney, Australia which has always been a dream of mine and im looking for any support to make it possible!

Your story

Moving to Australia has been an aspiration of mine for as long as I can remember and the year studying abroad is the best opportunity possible for me. With this year abroad not only will I get to live on the opposite side of the world, i'll also be able to expand my knowledge on Marine biology a subject I am so passionate about as well as exploring festival and event management which is another key interest of mine. 

Whilst in Australia I want to make to most of this opportunity and finish my scuba diving qualification to allow me to work on research and volunteering projects across the world in the future, once qualified I can get the experience of diving on coral reef systems which aren't accessible local to me by traveling through Australia and seeing its beauty
