Leaving the Artic Tundra (aka Minnesota) for the South Pacific


G'day! My name is Danny Klotz, I am a 21 year old American student studying at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. I grew up and went to high school in Elk River, Minnesota, a NW suburb of Minneapolis. I am writing this blog to document my travels as I will be embarking on a 5 month tour of Australia where I will be studying abroad at the University of Newcastle, roughly 167 km (just over 100 miles) north of Sydney.

I will be flying out of Minneapolis International Airport on Thursday the 4th of February, laying over in Los Angeles, CA for 4-5 hours (hopefully just enough time to grab burgers and fries at In-N-Out), and then resuming my flight to the South Pacific, where I will be landing on the islands of Fiji two days later on February 6th 2010. I will be spending three days sightseeing on Fiji before I push on to Sydney on February 9th. From there, I will be touring Sydney for 0ne week before I travel north to Newcastle, where I will reside for the remainder of the semester.

I look forward to keeping everyone updated on my travels down under! Cheers!
