My last week in Berlin has been so bittersweet. While there are a few things back home that I miss, I am dreading leaving Berlin. This city has been such a great home this summer and I surely will miss all it has to offer. As I wrapped up my last full weekend, I visited…

With only two weeks left, my weekend plans got derailed. I wanted to go to visit Potsdam but unfortunately, I got a crippling headache and spent Friday and Saturday laying in bed. Thankfully, on Sunday my head was feeling a bit better so I was able to get out and go to Mauerpark for some…

Szia! In this last week, I spent time in Budapest, Hungary. We each were allotted two vacation days for working full time in the month of June and some of us chose to use those days for a long weekend in Budapest. The two things that I most wanted to do were visit the thermal…

Hallo wieder! This week has been quite exciting. Last Thursday, I attended a networking event hosted by the ambassador of Botswana. It was a really lovely evening where I got to speak with former Pitt students of both the College of Business Administration and Katz School of Business as well as some Pitt staff and…

I went to the laundromat and had a laugh because I didn’t know what the symbols on the machine were so I had…

Fröhlichen Donnerstag! My first week of work is almost at an end! The time has flown by so far. At my internship, I have met the partners of the office as well as many of the other employees. On my first day I got set up with my own computer and keys and was tasked…

Guten Tag! (at least it’s early afternoon for me in Berlin) Being in Berlin for five days now feels unreal. I have had such an amazing time. After nearly missing my connection flight (and my luggage actually missing it), I finally received my suitcase three full days after I landed. This first week during orientation,…
