Since returning home from Dublin, the biggest emotion I’ve felt is gratitude. As I was at the airport with my friend Shwetha, I noticed that she wasn’t upset, but was rather hopeful and in awe of the experience we had. As she repeatedly said, “Oh, look at the places we’ve been”, I felt myself inching…

How Lucky Are We?!?!
It’s our final week in Dublin and the thought of leaving feels very bittersweet. I’m ready to leave and return to normalcy (I need to sleep), but I’ll also miss my friends and the new freedoms I had abroad that I didn’t have in the States. Dublin has turned into a second home for me,…
Smiling (and Squinting) Through it All!
This week started off slow (yet again) because I got super sick right after the Amsterdam trip. To no surprise, getting 4 or less hours of sleep, barely drinking water and eating, and traveling internationally is hard on the body. I’m having such a transformative experience on this program and I want to say yes…
Getting Lost (and Finding Our Way Back) In Amsterdam!
This week started off slow as I was quite sick after my Belfast trip from last weekend. I took it easy and rested for most of this week to make sure I was recovered before going to Amsterdam. On Friday night, my friends and I flew to Amsterdam! Once we landed, we were met with…
Having a Blast in Belfast
This week at AllGo, we launched our Green month campaign for July. A major cultural difference I have noticed is a prominence in green behaviour, as opposed to green washing. The U.S heavily uses air conditioning, has incredibly car-centric infrastructure, and widely uses single use plastic. In Dublin, I have never used a plastic bag…
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…
Whimsical Weekend in Scotland!
My third week in Dublin was busy, but fun! I started my new placement at AllGo and so, far it’s going well! I like the laid back and welcoming environment of the office. I have one American co-worker Jonathan who is from Ohio State and also living on the UCD campus! Now, I feel less…
A New Beginning!
My second week in Dublin flew by even quicker than my first week! I started working at Moop as a strategic communications intern! Though I was not at all interested in communications/marketing as a finance major, I tried to remain grateful and open-minded for this opportunity. To no surprise, I did not enjoy the work…
Reconnecting with Nature…and McDonald’s!
My first week in Dublin was filled with lots of laughter, food, and rain! I was warned about the cold and rainy weather, but I still proceeded to pack mostly tank tops and shorts. After a few days, the rain began to grow on me and brought me back to Pittsburgh, which often has similar…
