I’m writing this blog post about a week after I said my final goodbyes to both my colleagues and Berlin. I’ve had time to reflect on my experience and share my thoughts and feelings to my friends and family. The last week of my internship was bittersweet, as I was excited to go home because…

Last week my dad and brother came to visit me, and it was so nice to be able to show them around Berlin and also travel to a new city together. On Monday we got dinner at a popular restaurant for their unique bathrooms and good food. The bathroom stall door is a one way…
