As my international internship in Spain has ended I’ve had the chance to reflect on everything I’ve experienced, learned, and taken away from this incredible opportunity.

Week 8 in Madrid
This past week was my final one in Madrid. After eight weeks of living, learning, and working here, I am heading home with a lot of memories and lessons. It is strange to think how fast everything went. When I arrived, I was just trying to figure out the metro. Now I know the city…
Travel, Work & Success in Spain
I am in my final week of my internship, and am closing off my time in Spain! It is hard to believe I just spent my final weekend here, where I took a trip down south and visited the amazing cities of Malaga and Granada. Although I have had a consistent theme of my love…

Coming from the United States, where “success” in a professional sense is often tied to productivity, results, and efficiency, it’s been really interesting to see how those expectations compare to what…
MálaGranada
Hola a todos! It’s time for the penultimate blog post of my trip. I have three more days of work, two more nights sleeping at my Spain “home,” and many “lasts” for my summer that have already passed. It feels surreal and so sad that I am leaving so soon. I am also exhausted, tired…
