Hey, hi, hello,

Welcome to my blog! My name is Carson and I am an exchange student from the US. Iowa to be exact, the land of corn.My home uni is the University of Kansas (Rock Chalk!) where I am a third year in Applied Behavioral Science (Early Autism Intervention) and pre-Occupational Therapy. When I am not at school I work full time at Camp Courageous, a year round camp for children and adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. It’s basically the most fun job you could ever have. Who doesn’t want summer camp all year long? My hobbies include hiking, camping, canoeing, playing games, and just exploring. I recently spent a month and a half traveling in Europe, so of course I have to bring it up in any situation I possibly can. (Did you really travel if you don’t remind people of it every 5 minutes? Asking for a friend.)

Now, the big question: why did I choose to come to Australia?

One reason: Oprah.

Now you may be asking, why Oprah? Well, when I was a child my mom would watch Oprahs show every day when I got home from school. In 2011, she brought a group of her biggest fans to Sydney and 12 year old Carson was very disgruntled that I was not invited on this trip. What a rip off.

If you made it this far, thanks for hanging in there pal.

Til next time,

Carson.
