Learn a new language
We’re serious! If Harry Styles can learn Italian in isolation then you can too. Maybe French, German or Latin are more your style? There are a bunch of free apps available to help with the lingual journey.
Or if travel is on the agenda one day, why not enrol in a TESOL certificate course. TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages and means you can teach English around the world!
Carpe diem!
Explore the world’s museums and zoos
Just because some of the world’s most iconic zoos and museums have closed their doors to the public doesn’t mean enthusiasts can’t visit them online…we’re looking at you Certificate II in Animals Studies (ACM20117) students.
Melbourne Zoo now has live cameras streaming a range of their enclosures, including giraffe, lion and penguin.
The Louvre has a range of virtual tours available online for those that like art but could do without spending the money on the travel fares.
Start a new book, audiobook or podcast
Take the opportunity to read that book that’s been on the shelf for years, listen to an audiobook or get informed with a podcast series.
Maybe a cyber security story takes your fancy or a podcast on motorsports, the options are endless!
So make the most out of self-isolation and try something new, you won’t regret it!
