Bonjour! Thank you so much for sharing this journey abroad with me. It has been so much fun to detail my experiences and look back on them with such a fond heart. Reflecting back on my first post, I created three goals for myself before I ventured on a plane to Paris. The first was…
La Culture!
Getting to experience a life abroad has been nothing short of incredible. Building lasting friendships with my study abroad cohort, trying a variety of new foods, and creating new routines have all been engraved in my mind and will last forever in my memory. My journey in Paris came to an end much quicker than…
Skills Learned Along the Way
Going into this internship I assumed the skills I would gain would be mostly technical and that I would finish with a list of tools I could use and software I understood. That did happen, but the things I’ve noticed developing most aren’t just that. The most useful ones have come from the overlap between…
Life after South Korea
My experience in South Korea has been one of the most meaningful moments that I have had in college. I am eternally grateful to my parents for supporting me when I decided to apply for this program, and for helping me when I got accepted and realized that I was going to fulfill one of…
How Korea Changed Me.
It is difficult to sum up this experience because it truly has been one of the best experiences of my life. When I first came to Korea, I knew that studying and interning abroad would push me outside of my comfort zone, but I did not realize just how much I would grow or how…

In the United States, we often think that successful employees are people who stand out, take initiative, share their ideas, and eventually move into higher positions. During my internship at a small company in Korea, I have started to realize…
A Month of Growth, Chaos, and Accidentally Learning to Blog
Delivering our final presentation in Carrigart felt like the moment everything from the past month finally came together. All the research, interviews, walking the main street, and building the bulletin board and website led up to that morning in The Carrigart Hotel’s meeting room. I was nervous, obviously, because presenting in front of actual community…
Lessons from Sweden
I’ve been in the States for about a week and a half now. It feels good to be back! Like I mentioned in my previous post, I will greatly miss Sweden (I already do) and I can’t wait to bore my friends to death with stories (yeah I studied abroad in Sweden this summer) but…
It’s Been Real Dublin
Dublin Diaries | The End An Amazing Ireland Summer And just like that, it is over. Eight weeks in Dublin felt like both the longest and shortest stretch of time I have ever experienced, and now sitting back home reflecting on everything that happened, I am still processing just how much this summer meant to…
