This past week flew by! Every day after work, I always found myself in a part of Paris that I previously didn’t know, trying out some new restaurant or just walking down the tiny Parisian streets and spending a lot more time window shopping than I should. Last Friday, I was able to go to…

Conclusion
In conclusion, this was a beautiful experience that was filled with incredible sadness. I recommend everyone to go abroad if they have the ability and the means to or to visit Argentina someday in their lifetime. My second recommendation is to go with a strong support group back at home in case anything goes wrong….
For Charles Fuller Ross
My always told us before ski trip: “prepare for the worst, expect the best”. It was her way of reminding us that conditions can get pretty bad and equipment breaks, but if you’re prepared, it’ll all work out. With her mantra echoing in my head, I went to Argentina with a prepared mindset. I expected…

I am on the data and research team: so my job is to sort through articles and deal sheets concerning renewable energy projects. A difficulty I have faced is…
London Intern
While abroad I hope to get closer to deciding what it is exactly I want to do when I graduate – there are many routes to take in finance! Being that London is the second biggest financial hub in the world – behind New York – I think it should be a good place to…
Living in London
I live at the flats on Goldhawk Road in Shepard’s Bush. I have three roommates who are all from Pitt, but none of us have met before. I took an uber from the airport here which was not cheap but understandably priced. The only problem with the flat is that there is no air conditioning…
