As our time in Donegal continues, I have started paying closer attention not only to the places we visit but also to the people experiencing them alongside us. Throughout the week, we have seen tourism take many different forms, from the lively atmosphere of the Downings Festival to the scenic pull of the Wild Atlantic…
Ahoj, Praha
This is my final post from the program, and I want to begin it by thanking the donor whose scholarship made this summer possible. Spending a summer working in Prague was not something I could have done on my own, and I hope this post gives you an honest picture of what that support turned…
Time Flies: Work-Life Balance
Somehow there are only four days left in Haller, and I couldn’t be any more surprised. I know I’ve said this before, but it’s almost as if it was just yesterday that we landed in Belfast and met up with Conor. Yet, it couldn’t be more true. We’ve done many things over the last two…

Now, I can confidently say that this experience has helped me grow in more ways than I expected. I am incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to spend my summer…
A Sweet Goodbye
My last week in Dublin went by much faster than I expected. After spending the summer getting used to a new city, meeting new people, working at my internship, and traveling around Ireland, it felt strange knowing that I only had a few days left. I wanted to make the most of my time, so…
The Korean Workplace Through My Eyes
It’s hard to believe I’m writing this from home because it feels like just yesterday I was walking through the streets of Seoul. My last week in Korea was filled with so many moments that perfectly wrapped up my experience. One of my favorite memories was getting a facial during my lunch break with my…
Peace Out Korea!
During my eight weeks in South Korea, I was able to immerse myself in a culture that was both fascinating and challenging, while also gaining invaluable professional and personal experiences. This journey was not just about completing an internship; it was about embracing opportunities, pushing myself beyond my comfort zone, and ensuring that I left…
