Who's writing today?

Hello there,

it's not raining! Great day for to go kayaking or rollerblading, shame that I'm at work.

I think it's finally time to introduce myself.

I am Riverlife's Finnish intern, Fanny. I have been working here almost 3 months now and still have couple of months to go. My first plan was to stay here 3 months. But what happened then.. I love to be here and I got an opportunity to do my second internship here at Riverlife as well so I changed my flights and got agreements from school and now I'm staying. Couldn't be happier :)

"You are from Finland, how did you decide to come to Australia and Riverlife?"

Well, it's winter in Finland. -25C. It's summer in Australia. +25C. Which one would you choose?
What about Riverlife then? I'm pretty good friend with one thing called Google. I told him that I want to go to Australia, Queensland, Brisbane and do my internship; activities, adventure, experience, event. He showed me couple of examples where to ask and I did. Now I'm working at Adventure Centre Riverlife.


Me after belaying private rock climbing last week :)

First internship finished and second started. First one was customer service and the second one contains more management stuff. Looking forward to see what's happening on next 2 months!

Here's couple of pictures from the last weekend. I'll tell you more later. Enjoy the sunny days!

New interns and Mirrabooka



Our dear sun is back again! At least partly...

We got our new interns here today and started to train them. Yayy! I'm so excited.

Fun things going on today. Mirrabooka guys came here to do their performance and we had school group watching it. Here's couple of pictures from the performance:

Look at that cute little guy performing today!

I saw my first Mirrabooka performance last week and it was exciting to hear more about aboriginal culture. You should come and see it too! More info here.




I spent my day with our new intern-babies from India, Holland and China. We were training how to set up cafe and Centre, practicing kayak briefings.. Basically training everything. The day was success and we are going to have three more awesome customer servers! Welcome Shekhar, Erin and Hannes :)


Training :)

I just started second part of my internship and I am keen to get started. So interesting things coming up :)

Maybe it would be time to introduce myself too... But just to keep your interest up, I'm not going to do that today. Next time ;)
