'about me'

Welcome to my blog, my name is Andrew Mitchell I am a Deakin University student from Melbourne, Australia and for the next eight weeks I am travelling around the United States of America.

The first part of my trip will consist of a study tour, which I will undertake with 19 fellow students and two awesome lectures of Deakin University. The study tour will take place in two iconic locations of America and two media and film capitals of the world, these being Los Angeles and New York City. Following the study tour I am by myself in New York City till Christmas then travel the east coast ranging from Philadelphia, Washington D.C, Boston and Pittsburgh.

I am 23 years old currently studying in my last year of my Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Journalism and Media & Communication. It’s a little weird how much I love the area I study and those who know me, know I am very much a media nerd. My goal once I graduate next year is to go on and do my masters with my first priority being The New School in NYC.

I am very easy going and like to live life to the full with no regrets, I take every moment as they come and make the most out of every opportunity. I love skiing, fitness, surfing, skateboarding, fashion, ice hockey, journalism, media, music and travel. My part time job is a little different to most university students as I do fly in fly out work in the mining industry in Western Australia. I read a variety of books and magazines and try to take in as much journalism and media as possible.

This blog will essentially be my travel diary and be presented as a travel guide to you. It will consist of university course work and the experiences I encounter on my travels around the United States of America.


So welcome aboard to another aussie abroad making his way around the United States of America.
