Before this internship, I would have described my leadership style as efficient and goal-oriented. I viewed leadership as setting clear expectations and being able to maintain a strong work ethic. Most importantly, I find that it is crucial to create an environment where people feel motivated in what they do and how they contribute. I…
Starting My Adventure in Sweden
My name is Drew Morse, and I am very excited to begin my international experience in Sweden. As I prepare to leave for this program, I have been thinking about what I want to get out of it. This is a chance to challenge myself not just in the work culture, but in the Swedish…
Week 6: Leadership Lessons
As I wrap up my sixth week in Berlin, it is hard to believe how quickly this experience is flying by. This week marked a major milestone in my internship as we officially wrapped up Berlin Blockchain Festival, the biggest event of the summer for our team.

While they may not always come across as overly warm or approachable at first, they are usually willing to help when needed and are…
Life in London
Hey everyone! I cannot believe I am writing this during the last week of my program. These six weeks have gone by so quickly, and when I first arrived, I knew I would gain professional experience through my internship and learn about the history of London through my class, but I did not expect how…
Sharing Dublin with a special someone
I just had to check the calendar to make sure everyone was not lying about being halfway through this trip. I know this is what everyone does say but it really is so difficult to believe that I have been living in Dublin for more than 4 weeks!! I wish there was some way to…

I had ox sausages, German potato salad, schnitzel, freshly baked Bavarian pretzels, and some incredible ice cream from the oldest ice cream parlor in Munich. Apart from the food, I also got to explore the city…
