All of the tips and tricks on how to navigate life in NYC as an Aussie (or a Kiwi).
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our sold-out Tech Week event on Friday 5 June, at the American Australian Association. It was an inspiring morning of conversation, movement, networking and fresh ideas, bringing together leaders from across the tech ecosystem to explore women in leadership, the future of growth, and how technology can strengthen connection and community.
Australian-born entrepreneur Tania Yuki has spent the past two decades building businesses at the intersection of technology, media, and consumer insights. Ahead of AWNY Tech Week, we sat down with Tania to discuss entrepreneurship, resilience, AI, and the opportunities available to Australian women building careers in the United States.
Whether you’re watching a cult classic, a family favorite, or a blockbuster under the stars, there’s something uniquely New York about seeing a movie outdoors on a warm summer evening. Throw in a skyline view, a blanket, and some snacks, and it’s one of the best free things to do in the city during summer.
For Australian women living in New York, the trip home is never exactly short. Even on the best route, you are looking at a serious long-haul commitment – multiple time zones, dry cabin air, swollen everything, and that slightly feral feeling that comes somewhere between your second airport coffee and your third security line.
So, on my latest trip, I decided to do something different: instead of pushing straight through, I built in a two-day stopover in Seoul.
And honestly? It may be one of the smartest travel decisions I have made.
A warm spring Sunday at the end of May brought together Australian and New Zealand families for the annual AWNY Families Cricket & Picnic afternoon in Central Park. Liz Partridge, AWNY’s Families Team Co-Leader gave us a write up about this event here.
