Back home

It’s been a little over two weeks since I left Berlin, and I still can’t believe how fast the summer went by. It feels like landing in Berlin was just a few weeks ago, and its crazy that I’m already home again. Overall, it was an amazing experience and it gave me the opportunity to…

Coming to an end

I can’t believe we only have a week left in Berlin. I’m definitely ready to be home again, but I’m getting sad that the program is ending. This week at my internship, I switched from the advisory team to the business development team because I didn’t have much to work on in advisory. It’s been…

Another week done

It’s so hard to believe that we only have two weeks left in Berlin, because it feels like we just got here. This week at my internship, I spent a lot of my time working on a project that the data automation team is working on. I find the data automation projects really interesting, so…

Traveling to Prague

This weekend, I went to Prague, which is so far my favorite city I’ve been to. Although the trip was amazing, getting there was a different story. Our train was at 7 am on Friday morning, and I was already exhausted from staying up the night before. On the Deutsche Bahn trains here, you have…

A Weekend in Munich

This week, aside from my internship, I spent more time exploring Berlin and took a trip to Munich. After work on Wednesday, a few of us went to Viktoriapark. We first went to a nearby beer garden and got bratwurst and potato salad, then went to sit in the park. This week was the Fete…

Exploring more of Germany

Another week has flown by and I can’t believe we’re already almost halfway through the program. This week, aside from my internship, I went to a lot of new places and explored more of Germany. On Tuesday, our program manager in Berlin, Britta, and the rest of the group got together at a really cool…

Getting a feel for Germany

Another week has flown by in Berlin, and I can’t believe we’ve already been here for 3 weeks. It feels like landing in Berlin and checking in to our hotel was just a few days ago. This week, we were able to explore even more of the city and we again spent a lot of…

Adjusting to the First Week of Working

This week, I started my internship at Vencon Research. I was anxious to start because I didn’t know what to expect. The commute from our hotel to the office is about 50 minutes, so I made sure to leave early enough, in case I had any issues with the buses or trains. Luckily, Jillian and…

Reflecting on Week One

Although exhausting, our first week in Berlin has been nothing short of amazing. It’s been so interesting to experience a foreign city for the first time, and I’m so glad I chose Berlin. I couldn’t be happier with the atmosphere of the city, and the location of our hotel is perfect. This past week, we…
