Wrapping Up- GSL Bolivia

It’s pretty wild that we are at the end of this project. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were preparing for our on-site visit, and it is hard to believe how fast our time together has flown by. When we began this project at the start of this semester, I could never…

I Found My Way

Coming into this experience, I knew I would learn a lot, but I did not expect how much it would actually change me. At first, everything felt unfamiliar. Even simple things like getting around, ordering food, or adjusting to a different routine took effort. Over time, those small challenges became part of my everyday life,…

Final Thoughts

My time studying abroad in Barcelona was a very impactful experience for my academic and personal development. I had to step outside of my comfort zone while living on a new continent, and I had to quickly adapt to my new environment and way of life. I have noticed that I am a more independent…

El Fin de Mi Tiempo en Barcelona

Living in Barcelona was an amazing experience that I am extremely lucky to have been able to take.

Signing Off…

This class provided me with an experience that changed my perspective on consulting. I have always been driven by projects and the ability to help systems and organizations grow. This project took that drive and added a deep level of passion. We were able to not only research and see Caras’ work but live it…

The Only Way Out is Through: Lessons from Bolivia

I can’t believe the time has come for me to write my final blog post for GSL Bolivia. These last 14 weeks have been challenging, yet extremely rewarding. This project is different than any group project I have ever been part of and a departure from my past study abroad experiences as well. Of course,…
