After my first few days here in Honolulu I was disappointed, the city is full of tourists and like other big cities. Not really the peaceful natural place I excepted. Today I went with EF Honolulu, my school, to the north shore. I was impressed by the beauty of the nature there and for the first time happy about my change! We visited several beaches and view points, just amazing! Here some impressions of todays trip... h Unfortunately I can't rent a car here on Hawaii because of the age limit...

There are four big, famous shopping malls close to the campus. There you can shop clothes till your credit card is dead! Have fun! :D LAS AMERICAS Biggest outlet in the area, located directly at the mexican border. So if you go by car don't miss the last exit, otherwise you drive directly into Tijuana, Mexico. In Las Americas you find all kinds of clothing brands but not all sell their products to real outlet prices. Anyway a must go if you love shopping. By car around half an hour from campus....

Here my opinion what to take with for a stay at EF San Diego. I put my thoughts in a list of 12 things together which are in my mind the most important. - clothing: Pack your clothes wisely, depending on your budget and the duration of your stay. Don't bring too much stuff, our luggage weight for the flight is really limited and you can buy a lot of nice clothes here in the US. Remember, most of your favorite brands are american and compared to most other countries cheaper here. For example, I...

10 tips for a successful road trip (as an EF student) 1. plan the route We did our trip without any specific route. That is on one side good because you can discover beautiful places you didn't now and stay some time or maybe one night there. On the other side was it bad when the day was coming to an end and we didn't know where we want to stay. Especially on the highway nr. 1 can it get difficult to find a place to stay if the next village or city is 50 miles away. So you don't have to plan...

A lot of people who come here doesn't calculate enough money for the transportation here. The guys in the EF office in Switzerland, and in other countries too I heard, told me that everything in San Diego is really close and the public transportation works well compared to other US-cities. That might be true but as a student in EF is this just the half of the truth. The campus is not in downtown but in a neighborhood called Scripps Ranch which is away from downtown and the beaches. There is a...

Last weekend some friends an me finally went to mexico for the first time. At the border San Diego/Tijuana The easiest way to go anywhere around Tijuana is to take a taxi. Directly after the border is a kind of taxi station where u can get taxis to all the destinations in this area. Our group of five people got a taxi to our hotel in Rosarito (maybe 40 minutes from Tijuana) for $50. The cabs here are relatively cheap and bring you almost everywhere. If you're looking for a shop, restaurant or...
