Graney- Week 5 in New Zealand

I cannot believe that this is the final week of required blogs for this amazing semester abroad. As I have done after returning home from Dublin last summer, I am certain that I will be revisiting these blogs occasionally to reminisce on all of the memories that I made over these four months. My fifth week in Auckland was somewhat underwhelming by the standards of every other week I have spent abroad, but I feel that this is a major testament to how well I optimized my free weekends during this semester. The workweek was relatively normal as I continued […]

Graney- Week 4 in New Zealand

I cannot believe that I am at the halfway point of my time in New Zealand already. In the past 4 weeks I feel as though I have done so much yet I still have many of my most anticipated things still yet to come. This week added to my surprise of how time has been passing here as it feels as though I just sat down to write my last blog. The week itself was pretty similar to what I have become used to, though I was very productive and covered a large array of responsibilities. These ranged from […]

Graney- Week 3 in New Zealand

My third week in New Zealand was probably the calmest so far, but still brought me a lot of adventure! During the first few days of the week, I finished my first project in my internship and began to pivot to learning how to copyright blogs with search engine optimized content to increase the amount of people visiting the client’s website. I was introduced to a software platform that helped me understand the terms that Google looks for and feel as though I have a much stronger understanding of digital marketing as a result. Outside of work, I got back […]

Graney- Week 2 in New Zealand

Already, I feel as though I am fully in the swing of being an honorary kiwi. Most of my time was predictably used up by my internship, but I made a great amount of progress on my project. I have now converted and optimized all of the blog posts for Tomahawk’s client and will be doing some final revisions on them before they are fully complete. I’m unsure of what my next project will be but based on the clients that they are working with, I am very excited to find out! This week I also said bye to Dana. […]

Graney- Week 10 in Australia and Week 1 in New Zealand

Okay, now I can safely say goodbye to Sydney. After the longest and most stressful weekend of my life, I am now in the ground in Auckland, enjoying exploring the city and eating at a wide range of restaurants. On Tuesday, I took my final trips on Sydney’s public transportation and arrived at the airport with a few hours to spare. During my time, I grabbed dinner and did some souvenir shopping for a few gifts that I couldn’t find to that point. I then boarded and had a very great flight to Auckland. This flight mirrored my last flight […]
