My internship at Peakforce and time in Prague ended a few days ago. To end my time in Europe strong, my mom and I took a short trip to Budapest as a way to close out the summer. The last week at work was mostly putting final touches on finished projects. I completed my final…

Looking Done vs. Being Done
My time in Prague and at Peakforce is almost over yet it feels like I just got settled in. Just two months ago when I arrived I was assembling a standing fan from Slovak instructions, struggling to figure out what public transportation could bring me to my office, and not being able to get home…
When in Doubt, Translate It Out
This past weekend I traveled through Italy with two friends. We hit Rome, Florence, and Bologna, and packed in as much as we could in our short three day trip. In Rome we saw the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. Florence gave us the Galleria, where I stood in front of work by…
Every Tour Guide Was Once A Tourist
My dad visited Prague this week, and I got to play tour guide for someone who had never seen the city.

Prague Doesn’t Wait
Vienna was not on my radar when I booked my flight to Prague, but that’s the best part about being in Central Europe. You’re only a few hours from places you’ve only seen in books or online. I took the train over the weekend with some peers and spent two days walking through the city….
Moving In 2x Speed
After one week into the program I can honestly say it has been a great experience so far. This week of work flew by and felt like a fever dream. The team at Peakforce has been extremely welcoming and friendly, which made settling into the role a lot easier than expected. That being said, it…
Fresh Shoes, Old Streets, New Friends
In this first week abroad, I have experienced more than I could have anticipated. Prague has been nothing short of an incredible experience. The city manages to feel ancient lined with old churches and cobblestone streets, yet alive with intriguing restaurants, shops, and residents at every corner. Between exploring the winding streets of Old Town,…
