2 Weeks Left
With Summer quickly coming to an end, I’m really starting to feel the reality that I will be home soon and no longer in Prague.

Job Offer!?!
Last Friday, the craziest thing happened! During my one-on-one with my boss Denisa, I was offered a job at AB-InBev in my current position or another position that I could be potentially interested in.

As a child I lived abroad for two years in Istanbul, Turkey. I think it’s because of this experience that I was so eager to study abroad and make a new country my home. The whole concept of completely changing your environment and surrounding yourself in a new culture is very appealing to me. Since…
Vsyserad and Naplavka
This week I had the amazing opportunity of exploring Prague and getting to know the city with all of my coworkers. On Monday I meet up with a group of people to watch the Czech vs. Belgium soccer game. Ironically enough, almost all the people who showed up were from Belgium and were rooting for…
