As I sit in the airport on Saturday morning, preparing to fly home, I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that I’m leaving the city I’ve been calling home for the past two months. If I’m being honest, these two months have been a whirlwind, flying by far more quickly than I expected. I’ve…

This week has been a week of expanding my taste palate. Before coming to Berlin, I always believed that most of the restaurants would just serve German food. I had also read that Döner Kebab was a popular meal all across Germany. I knew that Berlin was an incredibly multicultural city, but no one told…

This week has flown by. Every person I’ve talked to has told me how study abroad goes by really fast and to cherish the time in your host country, and they are totally right. I cannot believe that it is already week 7 and that I only have two more weeks in Berlin. I will…

This was the first full week where I worked for the NGO Tip:Tap. I must say that before this, I had never really worked in an office job before. The jobs which I had previously held were either remote or I was working in the customer service sector as a cashier or sales associate. Regardless…

This past week in Berlin has honestly been incredible. I have been on my feet non stop, exploring so much of the city and seeing what Berlin has to offer. Today i had the pleasure on starting one of my part time internships at an organization called Tip:Tap. At first i was very nervous because…
