Love From Dublin

In my second week at my internship, I feel much more settled and comfortable with the work I am taking on. I had more of a variety in tasks this week. I started off the week doing the same as the week before- searching for stakeholder organization in the current research project.  Once I was…

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…

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…

¡Semana 2!

My days here in Madrid have been filled with lots of exploring. As I become accustomed to the later schedule here in Spain, I have been taking every opportunity to walk from place to place in order to reenergize myself as well as get to know Madrid better. I have discovered so many interesting local…

My Time at PSA BDP and in Prague

Dobry Den and welcome! Overall, the University of Pittsburgh’s International Internship Program experience has been wonderful with a mixture of real-world logistics work experience and the immersion into the Czech and Central European culture. My role as a Logistic Service Coordinator at PSA BDP, an international and sustainable third-party logistics company, taught me a lot…

Final Week in Prague, off to Paris!

Ahoj! I hope that everyone is doing well. This week was my final week of my internship and of the IIP: Prague program. It is incredible how fast this experience has flown by and how much I have learned and grown in such a short period of time. My main priorities this past week were…

Reflecting on My Summer in Dublin

Because my internship in Dublin just finished last week, I find myself reflecting on an incredible journey of personal, academic, and professional growth. This experience, made possible by the generosity of my scholarship donors, has been nothing short of transformative. As I prepare to enter my senior year at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in…

Adios Madrid

The past 8 weeks in Madrid have been an incredible experience and one I am super thankful for. Coming here was both an exciting and nervous time, but I can positively say that this experience has been wonderful and one of a kind. Over these past eight weeks I think I have seen and experienced…

Family in Praha!

Ahoj everyone! This past week was kind of my last full week at work as my supervisor, Dominika, is going on vacation in Greece (super casually and cool) for the next two weeks. It also felt like my last week because EUSA (the Prague internship placement team) hosted a farewell boat cruise and dinner on…
