New York City

G'day Mates! After spending a weekend in Boston, I headed to New York City do see what it had is store for me. Since I was young I was always fascinated about New York City because of all the films and television shows produced. I was determined to see what all the buzz was about to see if big dreams do come true. Of course since I like big cities I instantly knew NYC would be a unique city to visit. I recommend New York City for people who love the busy and crowded areas filled with thousands of people walking everywhere. If you are looking for history then NYC is the place to visit! NYC is also a city for people who love to eat! Besides the history and food, NYC has a lot of shops and sightseeing to choose from. To stay in shape I mainly walked around the city to embrace the Big Apple, and see things that cannot be seen from any public transportation. Here below are my top ten places to see or do in NYC. 1. Try the street vendor food 2. The Late Show with David Letterman 3. Madison Square Garden 4. Times Square 5. Radio City 6. Brooklyn Bridge 7. Central Park 8. Statue of Liberty 9. World Trade Center Memorial 10. Empire State Building Of course there are a lot more things to list, but this gives you a sample of the city. Just remember to bring a good pair of walking shoes, and have fun. Like always at any time there is an opportunity to travel or try something new do it. This will help you to find yourself and meet people around the world to learn different cuisines and cultures. Only you have the power to see the World, until next time book some trips and enjoy college. Cheers, Lee IV

Boston Ahoy

G'day Mates! As I stated in my previous blog I was going to write about my experience and share some useful tips about the Historical city of Boston. Heading out east I took my first train route to Boston. It takes longer to get to Boston on the train than an airplane, but it gives you the ability to see the back roads of America. After a twenty-two hour train ride from Chicago I arrived in Boston. I didn't know what to except, but I was excited to see some friends of whom I have not seen since four years ago when we went to Australia. I must say it was a great reunion, and having friends in different places saves on hotel stays, and getting an inside look of where to go. I would recommend visiting Boston if you like a young crowd, historical sites and seeing many attractions. Boston has a lot to offer based on location, schools and actually not as busy area compared to other big cities. I wouldn't want to spoil all the fun, but if you do plan on visiting Boston here are my top ten places to visit/things to do: 1. The Freedom Trail 2. Quincy Market 3. The Oyster House 4. Try a Boston Crème Pie 5. Fenway Park 6. USS Constitution Museum 7. JFK Museum 8. Boston Brewery Tours 9. Ride the {T} known as the Rail system 10. Visit the beautiful parks around the city If you have any questions please leave a comment, and I will share more! My next trip is heading off to New York City as known as the Big Apple! Cheers, Lee IV

College travels

G'day mates! As I finish my last semester at Moraine Park, I want to share a tip with you. When you’re in college you should take the opportunity to study aboard or travel as much as you can. Seeing the world when you are young and have fewer responsibilities can lead to great experiences. I’ve spoken to people who are older than me about traveling and they tell me that if they could do it over, they would choose to travel more. In my next couple of blogs, I am going to share with you my experience as I travel to Boston, New York City and New Jersey. So stay tuned! It’s going to be a fun voyage ahead! Cheers, Lee IV

Student Ambassador Update

My term as student ambassador has been a lot of fun. I have participated in many events inside and outside of school. This program has taught me how to be flexible, responsible and to set the bar high for the next student ambassador. With the connections I made with people in the community has lead me to my current project. I am the coordinator to relay information from the culinary club to Julie owner of Gallery & Frame Shop who runs the Art Walk Tour the Town in Fond du Lac. Her mission is to promote the arts, fine dining and entertainment in historic downtown Fond du Lac. My job has been getting the culinary club to sell fresh loaves of bread on the event night, which will help raise money for our fundraisers. I realize how fun it is to work with people personally and seeing an event expands into other opportunities. The date for the next Tour the Town event will be held on Friday, April 19th from 5-8 p.m. For additional information you can check out the website at http://www.tourthetownfdl.com/ If you have any questions please leave a comment!

March Madness

As February comes to an end, my favorite month March is here. March is my favorite month because there are a lot of fun events ahead. To name a few there is spring break, March Madness for College basketball, St. Patty’s Day, and of course my birthday. During the month of March I will be traveling to Boston, New York and New Jersey for a mini Australia reunion with friends I met four years ago. During this time I will have the opportunity to see the Big Apple and check out the East coast cuisines. Since I never have been out east before, this trip will enable me to see opportunities outside of the Midwest area. I will make sure I’ll share a lot of photos and tips for future references. Until then enjoy March and wear some green colors to share the love! Cheers, Lee IV
