After an extra week of travelling, and a hectic rush to watch my brother graduate from Pitt, I am FINALLY back home …and boy, does it feel good. (I don’t think I have ever seen my dog happier.) My time in Florence was so special and will have a lasting impact on my life. I…

Adventure Awaits
This is it. My one and only chance to do a semester abroad has finally come to an end. London has been so good to me. It threw me several curveballs, which have helped me become a stronger person. I have met so many amazing people, some at Pitt, and some in other states. London…
All Good Things Must Come to an End
It almost feels as though my time in Sydney was a dream and I am finally waking up to reality. As I waited to board my plane to leave Australia, it wasn’t until I looked back on all my pictures to realize all the things I had done. I got to get up close and…

Looking back on an entire semester in London is incredibly surreal. This opportunity provided me with invaluable experience and challenged me to look at the world through an intercultural lens. Along with learning more about marketing, I gained insight into other cultures while abroad. Through my discussions with my colleagues and my weekend travels to…
