Last Week in Dublin

This week I am going to continue my discussion on Meetingsbooker.com, and further analyze the components that keep the company moving forward. First off, Meetingsbooker’s organization culture is extremely relaxed.  There are no cubicles or desks- rather just a few large tables with people stationed around them.  This office layout allows for easy communication and…

Last Weekend

I got the opportunity to experience another European city this weekend when I traveled to Paris. It was an incredible experience and although it is an expensive city, it was well worth the money. We stayed in an airbnb, meaning we got to experience living in an actual apartment in Paris, as opposed to staying…

All Good Things Must End

As my time here in Dublin is winding down, I wanted to take a step back and think about everything I’ve accomplished. I got to visit amazing sights such as the Giant’s Causeway and Guinness Lake, I got to see a stage production being developed from start to finish, and I got to meet some…

Cheers Ireland, Slán Dublin!

It is incredible how fast time has passed by, this program is almost over. I cannot believe it has been already three months since I arrived here in Dublin and still, I keep falling in love with this gorgeous country and its culture every day. I feel I had an amazing opportunity to be part…

Reflecting on Dublin

Last Thursday during my weekly meeting with my supervisor Eilish, we were discussing the other intern’s last day, and she mentioned that I felt like part of the team much more than an intern. The other intern was only there for 5 weeks and only worked 4 days a week, versus my 10 week, 5…

I have explored the bone church of Kutna Hora, climbed to the top of towers, swam through caves in the Adriatic Sea, hiked through Plitvice Lake National Park, mastered the…

Nashledanou

“Nashledanou”, you’re probably pronouncing it wrong; “sh” sounds like “sk” in Czech. It means, goodbye, see you later, or so long and I think it is a great word for how I am feeling about leaving Prague today. As work came to an end this week, I thought about my time here in Prague and the…

How it Feels to be Home

After my 14 hour flight behind a crying baby, I was SO relieved to finally come home. I absolutely loved my time abroad but towards the end, I surprised myself by actually wanting to be in Beaver County, PA. I got exactly what I asked for; to be surrounded by a whole new culture. But…

End of a Journey

As I enter into my last week at my internship and the study abroad experience, I reflect on all the things that I have learned and the experiences I have grown from in this great opportunity I was given. I have learned a great deal from my internship about what it is like to work in…
