It’s been nearly two weeks since my GBI Sydney Sports Business Program ended, so I’ve had time to share my stories and pictures with friends and family, as well as reflect on the experience as a whole. The length of the program was perfect for me, being that I wanted a meaningful internship this summer,…

A Trip of a Lifetime
Overall, I have loved my time abroad in Sydney, Australia. I enjoyed exploring the many attractions, restaurants, and beaches in Sydney. I’m so sad to be leaving the place that I have gotten to love in such a short period of time. I have met many new friends and learned a lot in my six…
Growth While Abroad
Before I started my program, I was expecting the whole experience to go by smoothly, but the second I stepped on my flight from Los Angeles to Sydney, I was filled with anxiety. I was not worried about enjoying my program and growing as a person, but I was scared that I was not going…
My 6 Weeks Down Under
My international experience was one of the best times of my life. The six weeks flew by, but I tried to make the most of it, even if that meant little sleep at times. My time abroad mostly consisted of interning, class, and traveling on the weekends. My internship consisted of 20 hours a week…

Expectations of Sydney
Although Sydney is across the world from the states, the transition to the culture was quicker than I expected it would be. The easiest part of the transition is that everyone speaks English so communication isn’t a huge factor. Some words might have some different meanings, but that’s as complicated as it gets. As the…
