One month left in Ireland and one week left with my fellow interns at my firm. Last week I learned so much about the 12 interns that work at Flynn O’Driscoll with me, and I realized that I only have one more week working alongside them. Next week there will be a whole new cycle…

Python, Perks, and a Perfumed Post Office
Time has been weird in Sweden. Of course, I knew that coming in- 18 hours of daylight and mandatory blackout curtains were one of the few things I really knew about Stockholm. Yet, I am somehow still trying to get a grip on my time here. The first day was long- way too long for…
Pizza, Python, and Public Viewings
After this week, you could technically call me a football fan. Just kidding! I am definitely not the target audience for the world cup, but I can appreciate the love and passion that Germany has for the sport. Throughout Berlin, there are public viewings all over the city, and despite the fact that the game…
How to: British Queue
Hi again! I just finished up my first month in London, so I thought it would be worth it to highlight the deep culture within this city. Ever since the first day I landed at London Heathrow Airport, I experienced my first culture shock. I was aware that the cars drive on the left side…
Making the Best of 18 Hours of Daylight
I am currently two weeks into my internship, and in my third week here in Stockholm. I knew prior to arriving here that there would be many hours of daylight in the summer due to how far north Sweden is on the globe. So far, it hasn’t caused too many issues for me, but it…
Less Guessing
After a wild first couple of weeks, this one in Prague was a much needed break. No travel, last-minute trips, or sleep-deprived days walking through a European city. Rather a steady rhythm of waking up, going to the office, and acting like a regular person that lives here. A quiet, but still productive week was…
Navigating Uncertainty
So far, I have really enjoyed my internship experience. It has given me the opportunity to apply what I have learned in the classroom to a professional environment, develop new skills, and gain a better understanding of how organizations operate. However, like any new experience, there have been both positive moments and challenges. One of…
“Bonjour, hi! Anglais, français? English, french?”
Working at my museum has made me feel somewhat like a Canadian, as establishments in the French Canadian region always greet visitors with “bonjour, hi!” in order to cater to both French and English speakers. As our museum tends to have more English-speaker tourists as visitors (excluding school field trips), I too have learned to…
Ocean Man, the Crust of a Tan Man Imbibed by the Sand
The parts of Australia that I identify the most with culture wise are waking up early, almost everyone here starts their day rather early and unlike in the US I have been enjoying that aspect. I find that in Sydney specifically the culture is very mixed, where I work and where my classes are at…
