It is a pleasure to share my reflections of my Erasmus experience at Bonn University in Germany. I consider myself to be one of the fortunate students in the Erasmus exchange program to have studied one semester at the Department of Geography under the Erasmus program. As a matter of fact, no student in my Home university (Mzumbe University) believed that this could happen, but once we were offered the chance to apply, I was one of the many students who applied, and fortunately, I was selected. While I found it hard to believe, I always remembered my late primary school teacher's words of wisdom: “The best way to know if you are lucky is to try”.

While I arrived in Bonn smoothly thanks to the assistance of my study buddy and nicely arranged accommodation, getting a visa was a great challenge. I advise the program coordinators and students to start the visa application process as soon as they are selected for the program because it almost eclipsed my greatest study opportunity.

As a student in the Geography department, I gained a wide array of expertise and practical experience because most of the courses taught were based on reality and were applicable to real-life situations. As one of my favorite courses, the Political Ecology course taught by Professor Muller taught us how power, resources, and authority can sometimes affect the environment and welfare of society.
