The Routine That Got Me to Budapest

After the week of orientation and having a set plan from an external source fade away, suddenly everything got more real. The train system wasn’t confusing, I started using Google Maps less to get to and from my apartment, and the city just started to make sense. A similar thing can be said for my…

Finding My Rhythm

One of the biggest lessons I have learned during my internship so far is the importance of managing my time effectively. Moving to Prague and starting an internship at the same time has been an exciting experience, but it has also required me to be intentional about how I structure my days. Between my responsibilities…

A Productive Week to an Impulsive Weekend

Wow, week two was absolutely amazing. The beginning of the week threw me in at the deep end in the best possible way — not with time management, but rather survival mode. Lucent Renewables operates in a world I had essentially zero background in before walking through the door on Monday. Renewable energy sounds straightforward…

Moving In 2x Speed

After one week into the program I can honestly say it has been a great experience so far. This week of work flew by and felt like a fever dream. The team at Peakforce has been extremely welcoming and friendly, which made settling into the role a lot easier than expected. That being said, it…

Life Between Trams and Deadlines

My second week here in Prague was a packed one. I started my internship at EARCH.cz, an online architecture magazine based in the city. I spent my weekdays getting adjusted to my new commute, office, coworkers, and workload. I was definitely nervous my first couple of days, but now I feel I’ve settled in. While…

A Day in the Office!

Time management has come fairly naturally to me at my internship, and I think a big part of that is that my days have a clear structure from the moment they begin. I’m at the office at 8:55 AM, and from there I’m working with my team for pretty much the entire day. Having that…

Discovering Prague

My first week in Prague has been an exciting and memorable experience so far. Moving to a new country comes with its challenges, but I have really enjoyed settling into the city and becoming more comfortable with my new surroundings each day. One of my favorite parts of the experience has been simply exploring Prague…

Settling into Prague

My first week in Prague has passed in a blur of trams, translation apps, and trying to look like I know where I am going. The city has already begun reshaping how I think about work, communication, and the small habits I never questioned at home. My first impression was how quiet everything is. Coming…

Fresh Shoes, Old Streets, New Friends

In this first week abroad, I have experienced more than I could have anticipated. Prague has been nothing short of an incredible experience. The city manages to feel ancient lined with old churches and cobblestone streets, yet alive with intriguing restaurants, shops, and residents at every corner. Between exploring the winding streets of Old Town,…
