Hi, welcome to another week of Sammie in Berlin. This week has been both exciting and exhausting, which honestly feels like a pretty accurate description of living abroad. I have been trying to balance exploring a new country, working, and remembering that my body also needs rest sometimes, which is still something I am learning….

Learning and Leadership
Before this internship, I would have described my leadership style as leading by example. I have never been the type of person who feels the need to be the loudest voice in a group or take charge simply for the sake of being in charge. Instead, I have always believed that leadership comes from being…
Berlin to Munich & Back to Berlin
Last week, for the first few days – Monday through Thursday – I worked from home. Well, actually, I worked from hotel. The majority of my colleagues were at the Intersolar conference in Munich, so I kept busy with my assignments and worked remotely. This was a nice experience for me, as I was able…
“How’d You Beat the Heat?” I Went North! (Robert Irwin Featured!!!)
I’m sure this is going to sound like a broken record, but it was HOT this week/weekend in Berlin. The minute I saw triple digits on the weather app, I was stunned. I didn’t know I’d see temperatures like that in my lifetime. I found a pretty unique way to beat the heat, and I’ll…
Wait, Have You Heard About the Heat Wave?

As temperatures rose to the highest they’ve been all summer, I’ve been cooling off by staying mostly indoors and hanging out in various parks. That being said, I did get around to doing some cool things. On Wednesday, I went to the ballet…
Week 6: Leadership Development
Hello again from Berlin! It’s officially week six, and this summer overall has been moving at an incredible pace. The German Football League season is in full swing, and everyone in the organization is fully locked in, given that we just passed the mid-point of the season. This week at my internship, my time was…
Week 6: Leadership Lessons
As I wrap up my sixth week in Berlin, it is hard to believe how quickly this experience is flying by. This week marked a major milestone in my internship as we officially wrapped up Berlin Blockchain Festival, the biggest event of the summer for our team. After weeks of planning, coordinating, and preparing for…
From Munich to Meetings
Hello again, everyone! Last weekend, I was in Munich and got to try some amazing German and Bavarian delicacies. I had ox sausages, German potato salad, schnitzel, freshly baked Bavarian pretzels, and some incredible ice cream from the oldest ice cream parlor in Munich. Apart from the food, I also got to explore the city…
