This past weekend I traveled through Italy with two friends. We hit Rome, Florence, and Bologna, and packed in as much as we could in our short three day trip. In Rome we saw the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. Florence gave us the Galleria, where I stood in front of work by…

When in Rome…
This week put my whole experience abroad into perspective. I decided to book one last trip to Italy with a couple of friends from my dorm as some people were finishing up their internships this past week. My coworkers gave me the go-ahead to take off on Friday so I would have an extra day…
Filling in the Blanks
My host country uses a range of communication styles depending on context. For ambiguous tasks or projects, my boss tends to give a lot less context and wants me to figure it out on my own to create the best possible solution. When it comes to more specific tasks, work that is mechanical and needs…
Final Week in Prague!
As this is my last week in Prague, I have been reflecting on how much I have learned and how grateful I am for this experience.

Every Tour Guide Was Once A Tourist
My dad visited Prague this week, and I got to play tour guide for someone who had never seen the city. We did a few different types of tourist attractions together including E-bike, walking, and food tours. I had already been to similar areas and monuments earlier in the summer, yet I was still very…
Ambiguous Leadership
Before this experience, my leadership style was mainly focused around being a good example. The way I look at leadership is that to lead a group of people it’s best to lead by example, along with clear communication on how to do certain things. Whether that’s a group project, or on a team, I like…
