This past weekend I got to spend my weekend in Auckland, this was the first time that I had a full weekend in the city and did not travel to another destination. With most of the country having off Good Friday and Easter Monday as well as the 25th of April off (Anzac Day) which is a celebration of the military veterans who have served in First World War. With those holidays all lining up within a 2 week period, many people have taken off this upcoming week of the 21st as the only days that most people will be […]
This past week I dug into my routine a little bit more, got more comfortable communiting around the city (without the assistance of google maps) and started to really become accustom with my path around the city. I have also developed pretty solid relationships with my coworkers and the days almost feel “regular” now. However I am always traveling around on the weekends either for travel or with my soccer team Bohemian FC. It is a great group of guys who come from all over. The club is sponsored by an Irish Pub so naturally a lot of the players […]
This past weekend I got the chance to spend a weekend with waa005. It was an incredible experience with some breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and other natural features. A short 2 hour flight from Auckland, I arrived to the town of around 52,000 residents.

Our Airbnb was a short 15 minute ride from the airport and luckily Will and I were able to find an awesome car rental curiously of YES rentals. While driving on […]
This past weekend, a group of the Auckland interns took a trip to the hot water beaches in coromandel. The beaches were about a 3 hour drive from the city and the drive itself was a sight to see. What felt like a movie driving through the night with a sea of stars above was truly breathtaking. After arriving at our airbnb which overlooked the hot water beaches we set out to look at the stars again with the waves crashing down from the beach. While there wasn’t a local large grocery store (quite common in NZ) there was a […]
On Saturday we arrived in Auckland (after a slight hiccup with the flight), upon arriving in Auckland I unpacked all of my clothing as well memories that I made in Sydney. Now it is time to make new memories and experience an entirely different country. If my experience in Auckland is anything like my experience in Sydney, I am in for some fun and an awesome time. Although it took right up until the buzzer to be matched up with an internship, I am excited to start work and be able to experience the corporate environment in Auckland. I will […]
