Time to Reflect!

As I pack and prepare to leave Berlin, I am beginning to reflect on my time in the city and at Læmon.  Overall, this has been a great experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.  As I said in my last blog, Berlin probably isn’t the city for me, but that does not…

Preparing for Checkout

As I begin my last week here in Berlin, I am beginning to reflect on my time here. I have had a great time in Berlin, but as I look back I have decided that it is certainly not a city I would choose to live in. Sometimes the fit just isn’t right! I have…

2 Weeks to Go!

As my time here is coming to an end, I am bummed to say that I am burnt out.  Berlin is a great city, and my job has been great, but working a 9-5 desk job is exhausting and I have started to want to just lay around during my free time.  I am working on getting…

Persistance is Key

Another week down! Back for another week of blogs! Sadly I have to do this blog only two days after my most recent blog as I have a trip this weekend from Friday morning to Monday evening, so I do not have many life updates. All I really have to tell is that I am…

Keeping Busy

Beating Adversity in the Workplace

Another Week Finished! As I wrap up my third week here, and my second week working at Læmon, I have truly gotten into a rhythm here in Berlin. I have found go-to food and social spots, I have gotten a decent grasp of public transportation, I have come to terms with the ridiculous price of…

All Settled, Time to Work!

Hello all! As I wrap up my first week here in Berlin, I have settled into a routine and somewhat adjusted to the culture of this city and this country.  I have learned a lot in my first two weeks, some good things and some bad.  I have gotten a good laugh out of the stereotypes that…

Settling Into Berlin

Hello all! As I wrap up my first week here in Berlin, I already have a great amount to reflect on. Right from my arrival in Berlin life became very busy with orientation events. I had a very stressful flight to Berlin with lots of delays and a very late arrival, but I was able…
