Well, it’s been a while, but my last blog post has arrived. I will be leaving Germany on Saturday morning, and that will be it! I enjoyed my last couple of weeks in Berlin, but the city was also swamped in a heat wave of proportions that Europe isn’t necessarily meant to accommodate. A single…

Potato Pancake Paradise
After spending over a month only in Germany, I decided it was time to venture out once again. Last weekend I travelled to Krakow, Poland—a country I never thought I’d visit before this trip. I can honestly say I’m so happy I did! I’ve never thought much about it nor do I have any ancestry…
Vive la Berlin
As my time on this program gets closer to finishing, I find myself with a new motivation to explore as much as I can of what Berlin has to offer. This past weekend was my last full one in Berlin, as I will spend my remaining ones during the program travelling. It’s crazy how close…
Appropriate Culturalization
As my time in Berlin continues, I have been able to observe many of the political and cultural realities of Germany of which I was not previously aware. For instance, I didn’t even realize Bavaria was a thing (turns out it’s the name given to the entire southern region of the country). Don’t ask me…
Castles and Middle Ear Trauma: Just Another Week Abroad
Hello again! It’s already July now, whaaaattt? Time has been flying ever since, but I probably won’t be any time soon. Why’s that? Well, remember my trip to Austria a couple weeks back?

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and The Goodie Bag Redemption
Well, I can honestly say last week was the most *eventful* I’ve had in Europe so far. Let’s Recap. Thursday (June 14th)- Mean Streets of Berlin So, this night was a ton of fun because my friend and I (who was visiting after studying abroad on Pitt’s Florence engineering program, if you remember) went to…
Reflections
This week’s blog post is going to be short, sweet, and a bit early. This weekend my friend and I are taking a four-day trip to Salzburg, and I couldn’t be more excited! Get ready for some GORGEOUS pictures in next week’s post. The only trouble is that I don’t know what my WiFi situation…
Gettin’ In the Swing of Things…
Last week was my second week of work, and I felt much more confident in just about everything I did. It was nice to be given more tasks than before, and I felt much more useful to the office. Monday was interesting because I got lunch with an Irish co-worker and we ended up discussing…
