Hi Everyone,

My name is Yewande! I am from Queens, New York but go to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. I am studying in Australia for the next four months for a school internship program. I am excited to be in Sydney, because it reminds me of my hometown New York City. There are so many different types of people, foods, and it’s just a dynamic place. I am doing an internship here at Hostec. It is above the Wynyard train station and the office is young and funky with bright green tones and glass doors. I am a marketing intern in the office and I am enjoying learning about Australia, its educational system, and meeting new people.

I am so excited to explore this place. There are so many great beaches, restaurants, museums, and all the great things a big city should have. I will update my adventures through this blog so you can see how the day in the life of a student/intern in Sydney can be.

I must admit to you, I was scared to move to a new city at the other side of the world by myself. But I am so happy, I did because I am growing so much as a person and learning so much about what I want to do with my life. For anyone that is scared to leave their current situation and try something new, I would say to do the craziest things and experience life before it passes you by.

Until next time,

Yewande
