Drowned Under: a Tipsy Tale of One American's Experiences Abroad in Australia Derek Popp

Ever wonder what is would be like to leave your old boring, world behind and spend six months traveling the exotic landscape of Australia? Imagine getting off a plane and not knowing a soul, no one knows your background or even your name. You can stop imagining and join me on my six-month adventure down under. Descending down majestic cliffs and great waterfalls of the outback; explore the sensational underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef; captain a sailboat through the crystal waters of the Northern Territory; meet the bizarre wildlife of Australia including koalas, kangaroos, and wombats; spend weekends camping in national parks; participate in local sports such as footy, surfing, white-water rafting; Partying with locals; falling in and out of love; and even try to fit in some class time. This book will take you through all of my adventures in the six months I spent studying abroad at the University of Melbourne. You'll be riding shotgun with me throughout the whole process as I give you an inside look at all the emotions and thoughts that were running through my mind. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did living it.
