On the home stretch in Sweden with less than a week left! I’m sad to go, but It will absolutely be nice to head home. This past week I got to go to the Vasa museum, where the previously sunken ship the Vasa is kept. The ship was restored in the 1920’s after sinking in…

This week was the long-await Helsinki trip! After a (long) boat ride, we got to spend a day wandering around Helsinki and seeing the sights!

Working in PR in Sweden has both many similarities and differences to the US. The typical competencies in writing, communication, and working with others are just as important. Since Sweden…
