As we approached our very last week in Ireland, I made sure to prioritize my internship work while also spending as much time as possible with the friends I had made while abroad. It was weird knowing that after spending almost two months in the same routine, everything was about to come to an end….

Ode to Patrick and the Park
Somehow my time in Dublin is coming to an end. As I was taking the bus back from my last day at work, I stared out the window and thought about how I would never be doing this again. To have not just visit, but work and live in Ireland for two whole months has…
Week 7: wrapping up and winding down
This week, it really hit that my time in Ireland is rapidly nearing its end. I will never have this experience again. I can come back to Ireland, of course — I could even apply to another internship here; but it won’t be the same. The alchemy of my current experience cannot be replicated. Over…
Communication!
Working in Ireland has given me perspective on how work cultures differ between countries.

Last Stop: Edinburgh
I genuinely cannot believe that this is the end of my trip here. I have had so many fun experiences and this really opened my eyes to the possibility of traveling and seeing the world. The part of the world that I am familiar with is so tiny in comparison to everything and offers no…
Week 5: Growing Confidence and Competence
As I have adjusted to life in Stockholm, I can feel my comfort with traveling, navigating thecity, and being in uncomfortable situations growing and taking hold in my brain. It is nice to see how I walk around the city like it is Pittsburgh or Philadelphia now, just as easy and normal. Obviously, there is…
One Last Week in Berlin
Hello everyone! I can’t believe this is my last week in Berlin. Time has flown by so quickly—it feels like just yesterday I was packing my bags and getting ready for this adventure. I wanted to make the most of my final weekend here, and it was everything I could have hoped for. We spent…
