Harrison Week 1 Sydney

After a long winter holiday I was excited to go to Australia where I would be taking 4 finance classes to help my major and then on to Singapore where I would be doing a 8 week internship in a industry that I wanted to be in. When I was leaving Heathrow airport I was a bit nervous to go to 2 different countries for the next two months however there was a nice group of people who were going to make the experience the best. I did not go with the main Bucknell GAV flight I flew by myself. […]

Singapore – Week 14

After a long week of working, My friends and I boarded a plane and traveled to Phuket, Thailand. The trip was amazing and was a great cultural experience! During the first day, we took ATVs into the mountains on a guided tour. The tour was about 2 hours and took us through some of the most remote places of the island. Although it took time to adjust to, the ATVs were very fun and easy to use. Also included in the tour was a quick stop at big buddha, which is a cultural icon of the island. During the visit […]

Week 6 in Singapore

This week in Singapore I had the chance to attend a Bucknell alumni networking event at the American Club. The American Club is sort of like a country club, but without a golf course. The walls were covered with pictures of US landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty or the Golden Gate Bridge, which made me a little homesick. However, it was amazing to talk to so many alumni that now live in Singapore. As someone who might be interested in working and living abroad one day, it was great to get their view on moving away from the […]

Singapore – Week 13

For this week in Singapore, I spent my days in the office and nights exploring everything Singapore has to offer. For work this week, I spent most of my time onboarding new clients onto our app. In order to add a new client, there needs to be lots of work done by me to onboard the customer. This includes adding shareholders, shares, and drafting legal documents. While this week was busy, I was still able to enjoy the nights after work. I spent a few of my nights at various hawker centers. These places are scattered throughout Singapore and have […]

Week 5 in Singapore

This week, I had the opportunity to explore the city a bit on my own. Most of my friends decided to travel to Phuket for the weekend, but I wanted to stay back to have some time to relax. Also, I was very busy with work this week so going on a trip would not have been a very good idea! The whole week I was able to help the full time Kaizenvest analyst with an investment memorandum for a possible new portfolio company. It was very interesting to see the early stages of a deal, and it was very […]

Singapore Week 6 – James Hudson

This weekend my friends and I had the luxury of going to Phuket Thailand. Thailand was one of the most incredible places I have ever been. Little Tuk Tuks (essentially small trucks that have speakers and LED lights in them) can take you anywhere. The weather was scorching hot and sunny every day we were there. We wanted to take advantage of our short time there so we planned an activity for every single day.  On day 1 we went ATVing and walked around the Big Buddha which was awesome. The ATVing was a little underwhelming as we traveled mostly […]
