The worldwide Augustana College experience
These past couple weeks have been a blur! This past weekend we went to Cairns, and it was a very interesting and fun experience! My main goal this whole trip has been to see the Great Barrier Reef. I finally got to see it and it was very surreal! My plan at first was take [...]

I was looking forward to this weekend after yet another work week at my internship. This weekend was basically a free one, so that meant that I was able to go to some beaches and just sit there. Actually, some people lay down. I am one of those guys that would love to play in [...]

G’day! This past weekend was one of the busier ones, although at first I did not feel like it would be. Ever since I knew I was coming to Sydney, I wanted to see a performance at the Sydney Opear House. On Friday, that happened. Eleven of us made a night of classy dining, nice [...]

G’day! I can tell I’ve been here for a month because I’m actually starting to use their lingo! The longer I’m here the more and more in love with Australia I’m falling. We got a chance to see how the Aussie’s celebrate a national holiday on Australia Day. It fell on a Tuesday this year [...]

G’day from Sydney, I found some time to update. A few friends and I recently went to the Sydney Aquarium and the Sydney Wildlife World since one of us works for OceanWorld Manly … and had us as guests to explore some of the other places the same company owns. It was good to see [...]
