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.

Solo Travels & Skills
This weekend I took a solo trip down to Busan and explored the city on my own. Unfortunately I got food poisoning on the first night from a food cart, which was a very rough start. Before the food poisoning effects hit, I was able to get a good amount of exploring in. On Saturday…
It’s Giving Very Much Employee
Week 4!! South Korea has been relaxing and strangely familiar, and to think I have basically been here for a month already is a little wild to think about.

Hola todos! Five weeks into this internship, and I have officially hit the point where I stopped counting the days and started actually noticing how much I have changed since I got here. This week’s prompt asks me to reflect on the skills I am building, both the soft kind and the hard kind, and…
Soon Saying Goodbye to Sydney
At the start of this experience I decided three goals, these were to have a wider understanding of how business may operate different in different countries and how working for these businesses may differ, gain a better understanding of the challenges of traveling solo and how to overcome some of them so I may be…
