Name: Avery

College: Southern Alberta Institute of Technology

Course: Journalism, Communications

Country: Canada

Heading to: Sydney, Australia

For how long: 10 weeks

Starting: June 2010

Programme: Media & PR Internships programme

I’m looking forward to the beautiful warm weather and feel of being immersed in a new culture the most! I love Canada but I can’t wait to experience living somewhere else. I’ve also have come to the realization that PR is something that is something I’d excel, enjoy doing and is relevant to my program. People have told me that Sydney is a really great place for the PR industry and I am excited to see if it’s somewhere I would like to establish a career.

I think that the PR internship will really help me establish connections with people in the industry for future career opportunities and also add another area of experience to my diverse CV.

I can’t wait to try surfing and be close to the beach. I’m originally from the west coast of BC and currently live in Alberta, needless to say ,I really miss the water!
I think completing an internship in Australia will be the perfect balance of work and life balance. Not only will I get to gain invaluable work experience and live in a different country instead of just visiting it, I will be able to travel and explore as well.
To top everything off, I can’t wait to tell everybody about my trip and post pictures of all the beautiful places I’ll see.
