This project as been a journey; an experience that I will never forget not only because of the my growth as a business student but because of the connections I formed with my team, CEOLI and Bolivia itself. As I mentioned in my previous blog, I take the stance of not having any expectations; I…

When I Was In Bolivia…
It has been a few days since I got back from the service-learning trip to Bolivia, and the memories I made still linger on my mind. The beautiful weather, the fresh air, the delicious food, the tremendously hospitable people and most importantly the friends I was with made this trip one that I will look…
Preparing for Cochabamba
Global Service Learning in Bolivia As the departure date for our international trip approaches and as I pack my bags, I find myself reflecting on the journey of this course so far.

Seoul – Week 6
This week has been great, I explored Seoul more and went to Lotte World. Although to be completely honest Lotte World was pretty boring – the rides were not that exciting (except for a few) and seemed more oriented towards children. Regardless, it was still a wonderful week of exploring, eating and taking great pictures….
Seoul – Week 5
My fifth week in Seoul has been amazing and full of new experiences. This week, I had the opportunity to travel to Gyeongju—a beautiful historical city located in the southern region of South Korea that’s often referred to as “the museum without walls.” Known for its rich cultural heritage and ancient sites, Gyeongju offered a…
