This past week was week seven of eight in my study abroad experience. I cannot believe I only have one more week in this beautiful and amazing country. I really feel that I have become one with the culture here in Ireland. Aside from going to work this week, my family arrived on Thursday. I…

Second to Last Week in Berlin
Reflecting on my experience this summer, I would say that German culture defines success in a relatively similar manner to the culture in the United States. Success is seen as getting things done and accomplishing your tasks efficiently and properly. Many people work extremely hard during their work day, but still make time for vacations…
Second to last week.
We are now at the second to last week of the IIP Berlin Program, and I must say, it will be very sad to have to leave this place so soon. I have made some friends, seen lots of new places, and grown professionally. Some highlight from this week are the Neues museum, where I…
Achieving Success in Berlin

Over the past several weeks, I have been conducting a comparative analysis of the policies surrounding the criminalization of sex buyers within countries that utilize the Equality Model. This experience has given me the opportunity…

Leadership as an Action, Not a Title
Hola todos! This past weekend I had an incredible experience that I’ll never forget. My friends and I went to Morocco! We went on a guided tour with CityLife Madrid, a company that visited our group during EUSA’s orientation. We were led by the enigmatic Adam, whose boundless energy made the trip even more magical….
Leadership and London
During the work week I spent much more time venturing out into the city, finding third spaces I could work from. This was much nicer than sitting at home all day, especially when I did not have as many meetings I had to call into. I found a couple cute coffee shops. They helped me…
Week 4 – Observing and Adapting
This week was a great time to feel more like a tourist and explore parts of Stockholm I have yet to visit. My parents came to visit from Tuesday, June 30th – Tuesday, July 7th. They stayed around the city center, not too far from T-Centralen. Walking around with them gave me the chance to…
