This study abroad experience has given me much to reflect on. I have learned so much about Australian culture, both from the workplace atmosphere in my internship and through my class in learning about the history and current environment of Sydney as a global city. I have grown in ways I did not expect through…

See You Later, Sydney!
What surprised me the most about my study abroad trip was how easily I adjusted. The culture in Sydney, Australia is heavily influenced by the UK and the US. I was surrounded by a variety of resources, including my friends and CEA CAPA staff. In addition, since everything is in English, everything was very straightforward. …
A Bittersweet Goodbye to The Land Down Under
GBI: Sydney Summer 2023 coming to an end is extremely bittersweet. In the past 6 weeks, I have met more people than expected, felt every single emotion, lived through experiences I believed only happened in movies, and tried a ton of new foods. I know I have lived through some of my best days and…
Bye Bye London
As I am sitting back at home thinking about London it does not even feel real. I am so grateful for this opportunity I was given to be able to live and work in London all while being able to travel to different parts of Europe. I was able to travel to 5 other countries…
Looking back at London
In my opinion summing up my program experience would be extremely difficult. Everyday was different and taught me something new about the world around me and myself.

I learned about the other side of Florence that is not stuck in a romantic image stuck in time. The Florence that has…
Applying My Growth to My Future
My experience in Florence has helped me to gain a better understanding for other people. I have learned about different cultures and spent a lot of time with those from a very different background from my own. That will help me to work better in teams and communicate better with colleagues and clients in the…
Uncovering the Truths of Florence
My experience at CAPA has been vastly different from my experience at the University of Pittsburgh. For starters, there is no AC, so it can get very hot in the classrooms, which can be draining. However, the professors are still very engaging, and the material has been very interesting. My cross-cultural psychology class has taught…
A Farewell To London
Studying abroad this summer was by far one of my most rewarding experiences as a Pitt Business student, it was also one I did not plan on doing until very recently before committing to the program. I feel that I learned something new everyday, discovering new parts of the city and myself. First, I learned…
