I am currently sitting on my bed, 1:00 in the morning typing up this blog post because I am traveling this weekend and I want to free myself of obligations. First week of work, finished! It has definitely taken some adjusting to. But before I get into my internship, some fun things! As my job…

Mi primera semana
During my time with the Centro de Acogida a Refugiados de Vallecas (CAR), I have experienced how overwhelming the work really is. This week, I haven’t actually carried out any very essential tasks, since it is critical that all tasks be completed with accuracy. Since I have only really been in the center for a…
Adjusting to a New Schedule
As of right now, I’m finding it easy to balance my internship and everything else. I’m used to working + class + extracurriculars every day, so being here and only having to worry about working has been easier than what I’m used to. Usually, I work 8 hours Saturday or Sunday and also have…
There and Back Again: Delhi and Agra

Getting into Dublin
I landed in Dublin a few ago, but a lot has happened in this time. This is my first time in Europe, and it was a valuable and interesting experience making my way to the University College from the airport. I got to know my roommates and the other people who lived in our dorm…
Personal and Global Equality
During my travels in India, one of the most captivating cultural experiences was visiting a Sikh temple that served not only as a spiritual haven but also as a sanctuary for those in need. This remarkable place embodied the essence of Sikhism, with its stunning white buildings adorned with gold domes. However, it was the…
Trekking to Self Discovery
Trekking Lessons I didn’t really feel like I was too great at group contribution at the beginning of the trek as I was the slowest student on the team (hence my trail name, Dhili, meaning slow). I doubted my physical abilities at first and did not feel I made a big impact on the group…
