In the beginning

Welcome friends and strangers, old and new. After what seems like an eternity of preparation, I’m almost ready to leave Brisbane for New York City this coming Thursday morning. I’m flying direct to New York via Seoul, hopefully avoiding North Korea’s Taepodong missile ‘tests’. I’m doing an internship at a certain international organisation for two months, starting next week. It’s a pretty big opportunity and I’m hoping to make the most of it.

I’ll be updating this blog with various tidbits from my experiences over the next two months, and hopefully making it a small resource for other current and future interns at the United Nations. While the organisation’s internship programme has some great general information, there is a want for practical real-life experiences for those travelling from so far away to settle briefly in New York City.

Pay attention, there will be something along during the coming week. In the meantime, if you feel like procrastinating, feel free to check out my other blog : Parallel Lines on a Slow Decline.
