Due to the very relaxed work culture here in Stockholm, and the nature of the company I am interning at, time management is very important to my success here. The majority of employees of the company that I am working for are all remote workers in other countries. Of the ten or so people that…
Poland Run: War Victim Sprint (Week 5)
I wrapped up another week at Vencon presenting my mid-point progress on my another project, a Prospective Client Scoring Model. My fellow intern and I have been pouring our energy into making this model as precise and insightful as possible, driven by the shared pressure of wanting to deliver something meaningful to the team. After…
Dublin week 4 with a London weekend
Approaching my 4th week in Dublin I am excited to keep making great memories and learning more at my internship. The past week I did a lot of office work not too much in the field but it’s nice to have that balance between the both. I have definitely felt like I am starting to…
Photosynthesizing in Barcelona!
We’re halfway done with the program and each week keeps going by faster and faster! Per usual, I had a great week in Dublin and Barcelona! At AllGo, my colleague Jonathan and I moved up to level 2 compliance checks which involve emailing clients directly to confirm any missing information. My 4 years of customer…
Adapting to the Aussies

Week 3 in Prague
Week 3 was probably my best week so far. After being sick during Week 2, it felt amazing to finally feel normal again. No stomach pain, no naps in the middle of the day, no weird crackers-for-dinner situations. I had more energy, I could eat real food, and I actually felt excited to get out…
Seoul Week 3: Autonomy, the Double-Edged Desk
Although this may seem blunt, I’ve noticed numerous instances of unclear direction and general disorganization within this internship experience. Currently, the employee assigned to lead our project has been absent since we started and is only expected to arrive next week. In the meantime, the CEO has stepped in to oversee our progress. However, given…
Paws and Reflect
When I imagined my time in Madrid, I never expected a dog café to become my go-to spot. But without realizing, the 30-minute walk from work and hour of reading has become a cherished Friday ritual. As I sat in my usual seat, I realized that this upcoming Wednesday would mark the halfway point of…
Playa, Paddleboards, and Prado
(Paella would have been a perfect addition to this alliteration, but alas) Another week, another blog! Today, I am writing to you sunburnt and exhausted after a weekend on the beach in Valencia. This was my first weekend-long trip exploring new parts of Spain, and it was filled with some rosy and some thorny moments….
