The Inside Word 2018
First week in Hong Kong!
So, its 2:00pm right now and I’m sitting in my room with a bowl of half-finished oatmeal by my side listening to the typhoon rage outside my window. Not exactly the picture of exchange I had in mind. It’s been about a week into my time in Hong Kong, I thought I’d...
Looking ahead: Internships and finishing up
Now the title is a little misleading, for I am not in my final year of study. I am currently in my third year of University – with only a semester worth of full time study left before I decide whether I want to pursue some postgraduate qualifications or enter that...
Taking some time for yourself: My Sem one getaway
Ever since I moved to Auckland I have grown in my independence, not just from a coming of age perspective of having to do most things 'for myself', more so, doing things 'by my myself'. I am a lover of food and coffee so I began exploring what it was like to go to...
Things to do in between classes🎉
One thing that i didn't realise was going to be such a big deal this year was what to do between classes. For me this is less of a big deal because I live on campus, so if I have a huge break between classes I will just go back to the dorms. However if the break is...
Queen Lili’uokalani Race – Hawaii
Finally the whirlwind trip of Kailua-Kona is coming to an end for the Seabass, the team is leaving for Oahu with more memories, souvenirs, and maybe a touch of sunburn to help remind us of this incredible experience that we’ve had the pleasure of being a part of....
Aloha
Kia orana and I guess we can say now, ALOHA! I, Jordan, have been given the gracious task of giving you all a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of our travels to Hawaii, as well as a little recap on our first race at the Queen Liliuokalani Outrigger Canoe Race event....
My expectations for 360 Abroad Exchange
Hello Hello! As mentioned in my mini vlog series about 360 Exchange, I’m heading off to The University of Hong Kong for exchange in Semester Two! I currently have around 2 weeks left (at the time of writing 🤪) in New Zealand, which means I’ve been stuck at home,...
First v Second
Looking back on first year, only positives come to my mind. Whether I have blocked out the bad memories of the stress of trying to get into law, late night assignments or homesickness or the fun of living within a few metres of all my friends...
Farewell Event
Our team was given a send-off and blessing by friends, family, university staff and coaches on Thursday night. This event was a fantastic way to celebrate the hard work of the team and to acknowledge the people who have helped us along the way. Seeing our team...
5 top tips: How to study for a hard exam/test
Last Friday I had my first law test for the semester and it was hell on earth. Okay that may be a little dramatic but still, it was 30% of my final grade (although the course does have plussage*) and I was determined to do well. We still haven't got the grades back...
reasons why YOU need to come to open day
As an anxious student in my final year with a few options for the upcoming year, I found looking at images of facilities and brief description on course outlines not so convincing for my decision making. That's when open days come in handy. Personally, I was...
Tama Tu, Tama Ora; Team Fitness and Culture
We are less than 2 weeks out from the competition in Hawaii, and our team are preparing well. We managed to string together two 10km water trainings last Thursday, which was a bonus as the unpredictable weather has made it difficult for us to get out on the water....
Homeless in the most expensive city in the world
Helloooo! Welcome to the last installment of my 'intro to exchange' videos (click here for the previous one), this one has a small bit of ranting in it (as at the time of filming the I was probably still going through the stages of grief 😂). As mentioned in the...

Leaving on a jetplane
**Hums leaving on a jetplane (slightly out of tune)** Hey guys, exciting news! I'm going to be heading to The University of Hong Kong for a semester exchange! Slightly misleading title though as I will be leaving on a normal plane and not a jet plane, but hey,...
