G’day! My name is Jennifer and I’m currently spending a semester abroad in the beautiful Sydney, Australia. Through this blog I would like to reflect on and share my experiences of Australian sport and culture. In a country that is known to have very fit and active people, I must say that there are plenty of opportunities to observe and participate in Australian sports and experience the culture surrounding them.
I am originally from New Jersey and attend school at Penn State University, where I will graduate next year. Growing up, I participated in a few sports, including softball and basketball, but my favorite sport to play is tennis. I also am an avid sports fan and love to watch baseball and professional and college football. My university is a Division 1 school and our sports teams are huge! Attending games with crazy Penn State fans has been a huge bonus to my college experience.
Other than sports, my favorite activities include cooking and hiking. I also love to just hang out with friends and travel. Even though I’ve already been in Australia for about a month, I’m still very excited to keep adventuring out and explore my surroundings, as well as travel all around Australia. I am hoping to make the most of my time here and taking classes such as Australian Sports and Cultures will hopefully help me achieve that. I can’t wait to learn and soak up all that I can through this course.
