Traveling

We did lots of traveling before the internship, during the holiday and after the internship. We travelled by campervan and a rental car. A good company to hire you’re campervan is: www.totallycampers.nl  This is a Dutch organization. We also traveled by plane, because of the big distances between places.

The cheapest supermarket is Aldi! You can also go to the Coles or Wholeworths.
