Namaste Everyone...$hekhar here :)

Hello Everyone

I am an intern in Riverlife and have been working here for nearly two months. I moved to Australia in November 2012 as part of my campus exchange to James Cook University from Singapore. I am orignally from India and come from the city of Bollywood - Mumbai.

Working in riverlife is always fun. I love the view of the city from my work place. It has one of the best views of Brisbane.  From Kayaking to Rockclimbing, Rollerblading to Bike riding, Amazing BBQs, Lively events and a super cool staff to work with. What more can an intern ask for?.

I love interacting with new customers who come from all over the world. At work I also get to assist in the field of Marketing and come up with innovative ideas. Having awesome collegues at work makes work more fun and something to look forward to.

Today I got to try our new Segways which are totally AWESOME. I feel like Aladdin on a magic carpet. This place is full of new surprises. Next time you are in Riverlife drop by and have a chat. See ya

Cheers

Hannes is here!

Hi there,

I am one of the three new Adventure Interns at Riverlife.

Whats working at Riverlife like?
Well my colleagues are great. There are two other interns that started at the same time as me. Shekhar, a 22 year old bloke from India and Erin, a 22 year old girl from China. We got Intern Training by Fanny, a 22 year old girl from Finland and the managers that supervise us are not much older than we are. So we are a multicultural mix of young friendly people.

The customers that come here are mostly adventurous people looking for something fun to do so helping them is everything but boring. And today we had a really odd customer. His name is Elvis and he has green belly and blue tongue. We usually treat our customers very friendly but we decided to pull Elvis' tail while he was on his way to have a look at the slushee machines. So Elvis, if you read this, please don't take it personal but you scare the **** out of people ;)



That's it for today so if you want to hear more just stop by and have a chat.

Cheers!
Hannes

Hi I'm Erin, an intern in Riverlife!

Hi everyone!

I am Erin. I have been working here as an intern for 1 month.

It's really an enjoyable time working with nice people here and I also learned a lot from you! It is an amazing company with so many interesting adventures here.



I tried the kayak in one afternoon. Riverside is very beautiful and the wind passed around me that makes my first kayaking experience so good. I want to introduce Riverlife to all my friends to go kayaking!

    have a cup of coffee with  the beautiful riverside view!



   Come to kayak :)

Busy times

Hi everyone,

no one has been writing in awhile, sorry about that! I hope your Easter was great and you ate looooot of chocolate. At least I did! ... and I still do.

We have had busy weeks here; big school groups, Easter and City Council's Gold'n program. Fun times!

Last week we had 75 person school groups kayaking, rock climbing, abseiling and stand up paddle boarding. Busy but fun week. Me by myself went kayaking with stand up paddle boarders! Hot and chill days in the water.
School groups Abseiling and Kayaking
Easter was quite busy, lot of kayakers and people having coffees on a deck. Such a nice way to spend sunny days I reckon!

Gold'n program - Grandparents and grandchildren 
Monday and Tuesday we had City Councils Gold'n program which is program for grandparents and grandchildren. This time we had kayaking, abseiling, rock climbing and stand up paddle boarding. Grandparents and -children seemed to enjoy of their time together :)

Next time some of our new interns introducing themselves again, stay tuned!
