My AUSome Trip

My AUSome Adventure! Macaulay Global Experience 9/2012 on Prezi Today I presented this pre”z”entation at the Macaulay Global Experience Conference all about how I planned and executed my study abroad to Melbourne Australia. Lilach 4

It’s great to have visitors on my home “turf.” Thanks for coming! Smiles, Lilach 6

…of glory. Just kidding. Actually, I’m back in Brooklyn and back to college. My semester starts on Friday and I have a full line up of really interesting classes: An audiology class, a class about speech disorders, 3-D design, and a really exciting course about New Orleans before, during and after 2005’s Hurricane Katrina. Since […]

I’m already starting to miss this beautiful, inviting, creative, happy, relaxed city. I thought I’d be calling Melbourne home for just a few months, but I didn’t know I’ve created a permanent tether to this place. Melbourne may be really far away, but it will always be close to my heart. Presenting a preemptively nostalgic […]

After living and studying in Melbourne for four months, I’ve grown to love the city just as much as a “real” Melbourneian. All you need to do is scroll through my old posts or watch any of my videos and you’ll see just how inviting and rich Melbourne is: Socially, culturally and aesthetically. Now throw […]

Hey! My family is the best. They went to a Kangaroo Park in Israel and sent me the video! I think they’ve seen more kangaroos than I have. Hope you enjoy, Lilach 12

The study abroad site Go study in Australia! are running a video contest for north American students studying in Australia. The theme is “Future Unlimited: How might studying in Australia will benefit your future. This is the video I’ve been working on for so long and I really hope to win! (first prize is a […]

Amy is the coolest Australian I know. She took me on a short trip to the Dandenong Range surrounding the city to feed some Rosella parrots and get a great skyline view of Melbourne. It was great to make friends with AUSome Austrlians and fun to sit under the expansive sky. Ten episodes in and […]

Hey Everyone! You must know by know that I love art, and therefore museums. With all due respect to classics, I must say that Modern Art grabs your attention and imagination in an underhanded way. You try to get inside the artist’s head and understand why they would do such a thing. Of course, there’s […]

Wow! Yay! I got my first HD today! You could see my jumping for joy and grinning from ear to ear. Now, you’re asking yourself, “What is an HD, and why are you making a fool of yourself with that happy dance in the hallway?” Unlike the “high definition” standard in photography, HD stands for […]

“I love this city!” “How cool is this city!” “This is an amazing city!” “Did I mention I LOVE Melbourne!!!” ==== Today, I went out for coffee with my friend-a very Melbournian thing to do-and as we were walking around, I didn’t stop pointing out how smart Melbourne is. I know that might sound like […]

Does it happen to you too? Leave a comment! Lilach 11

“Now don’t you go calling this Australian Rules Football, American tourist, it’s footy and it’s serious business!” Best game I’ve ever been to- (also, only game I’ve ever been to:) But I feel converted. Go BLUES!   Doesn’t get more Aussie than Footy at the MCG! Enjoy, Lilach     9

Pinch, Punch, First of the month! Except you have to add “no returns” or else you’re getting it right back! This is the game I painfully found out about on the first of July when I got here and painfully reminded of again on the first of August. But this time I remembered!…Only I didn’t […]

Hey Everyone! One of the things that’s immediately striking about living in Melbourne is how health/environment conscious people seem to be. My host family is really good at this and I’m learning so much by living here. First of all, we never use plastic plates or cups in the house- what a waste! and we […]

I love your comments! L 9
