Week 5 Blog

G’Day! This week was very eventful as we began our new block of classes! I am taking both Organizational Behavior and Federal Income Tax which are both very interesting! I have no class on Mondays which is very nice! Apart from settling into my new classes, we went on a wine tour this weekend which was absolutely incredible! We went to Hunter Valley where we toured both Brokenwood Winery and Restaurant and Around Hermitage Winery. It was an eye opening experience to talk with the management and learn the entire wine production process. Additionally it was also super cool to […]

Week 4 Blog

G’Day! This week was not terribly eventful however I got a chance to go to the beach a few times! I have decided to dedicate this blog post to each of the main beaches I have been to these past weeks! The first is Bondi Beach, the most classic of them all! I used to grow up watching Bondi Rescue on TV so it was truly amazing to come here and see them recording new episodes. Bondi is one of Sydney’s largest beaches and is the closest ocean beach to the city center. Public transportation makes it very accessible to […]

It was a quick four weeks, however I can confidently say that I have learned a great deal from these classes and am excited to take my next two! Apart from finals week, […]

Second Week in Australia

G’Day! This is my second vlog here in the land down under and I can say it was an eventful week. Courses are going well! I gave two presentations this week in global management about a case study on Grab, and one on mergers and acquisitions. In my culture course, we have been talking more about the history of the land and the importance it has on shaping Australian culture. This last weekend, two of my friends and I traveled to the Figure Eight Pools! It was about an hour train ride south where we then had to hike for […]

First week in Australia

G’day! It has officially been one week since landing in Australia after a painfully long 21 hour flight from Newark to Sydney, but we made it! We have been keeping busy, doing lots of activates with the program such as a walking tour where we learned about the interesting history of how Sydney was shaped, and a visit to a zoo where we walked around and saw lots of animals! Additionally, my friends and I have done quite a bit of exploring on our own when we don’t have class. I have to admit that my legs are quite sore […]
