Tackling the Big Apple

Tackling the Big Apple As part of my scholarship, I am required to make regular social media updates and blog my experiences- to make things easier I have made this page!

On the 22nd of Feb I head off to New York City on an AUT Graduate Scholarship where I will be interning at Play Rugby USA- as a Youth Development Mentor! Like this page to stay up-to-date with my experiences working at PRUSA and with NYC youth, and my final adventure travelling around the country in mid June-July!

Nevermind the 110 degree desert heat... We had an extraordinary day exploring the Grand Canyon National Park, Hoover Dam and Route 66 πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ Our expectations were met and completely blown away by this experience!!!

Also if anyone is interested in a tour from Vegas to the Grand Canyon, highly recommend 'Sweetours' - ask from Derek from the Bronx!!!! πŸ‘ŒπŸ½πŸ‘ŒπŸ½πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

Kayaking in Jacksonville, Florida 🚣🏾 And probably one of the most terrifying times I have had in nature!

Just knowing that we were trespassing in the home of some Florida gators.... 🐊 Could not relax for one second!!! Safe to say we only lasted about an hour on the water before getting the heck out of there πŸ˜… !!

Orlando, Florida bound tomorrow morning 🚌

Day One in Atlanta, Georgia...

We aren't quite ready to head back to the city life so spent the day at Stone Mountain, watching the city skyline from a distance! 😝

The actual walk to the summit takes less than 30 mins, but is very exposed because the whole mountain is a big lump of granite. Meaning we got very very hot walking up! πŸ”₯

Alot of interesting history at Stone Mountain including the construction of a massive Confederate Memorial carving of three men on horses on the side of it (see photos). One of the men was President Jefferson Davis.

There was also alot of K*K history at Stone Mountain... But I need to find out a bit more about that side of things as it wasn't explained in detail at the museum 😳

Tomorrow we will head into Atlanta city... 😱
