Hello all! I’m writing this as it is my first day back in Korea after a weekend trip solo traveling to China. I visited the coastal city of Qingdao, which is known for its beaches and seafood. I had an absolutely wonderful time and can’t wait to visit China again after my internship concludes. It’s…

Kerry Calling
Dublin Diaries | Week 6 Kerry Visit Week six has been another great one, and while life in Dublin continues to feel more and more like home with each passing week, this weekend we took a short trip down to Killarney in County Kerry for a change of scenery and it was well worth it….
July 4th in Split!
This week was a dream come true. July 6th is a national holiday, and so myself and a large group of friends booked a trip to Split, which was easily one of the top places I wanted to see while abroad. I got to leave work mid-day Friday and catch my flight at 4:50 and eventually…
Getting the Message Across
During my time in Germany, I have noticed several differences in communication compared to what I am used to in the United States. One concept that stood out to me is the idea of low-context versus high-context communication. Based on my experiences, I would describe Germany as having a fairly low-context communication style.

I never really had to think about what leadership meant beyond that. I just did it the way I always had. This…
Week 7: Spy Museum, Samurai Museum, and Prague Trip
This week has been full of adventures. After getting over my heat exhaustion from my favorite weekend trip so far, it was time to go back to exploring Berlin. I went to the Samurai museum, which honestly was not my favorite. From the reviews I thought it was going to be more interactive than it…
I Think I Could Live in Stockholm
It is currently the beginning of my fifth week here in Stockholm, and I don’t think I could be happier. It was quite easy for me to adapt to living here, although I was a little overwhelmed when I first arrived. On the first day I arrived, I was quite overwhelmed getting myself through customs…
Adapting to a difficult culture in Sweden
Stockholm feels comfortable now. The early confusion of learning a new city — which trains to take, which exits to use, how to settle into a routine — has faded. What replaced it is something closer to belonging, and that feeling has made everything else easier. At THREAD, my work has kept me busy in…
