I’d like to start this post by agreeing that I can’t believe 7 weeks passed so quickly. At the same time, getting off of the plane at Arlanda Airport seems like ages ago, and somehow my first day even longer. With one week left, I like to think that I made the best of my…

What Madrid Gave to Me
Hola todos! I have been back in the United States for almost two weeks now, and I think I finally have enough distance from the experience to sit down and write this last post without running out of words halfway through. Coming home after eight weeks abroad is a strange thing. Everything looks the same…
Home at last!
The final week of my study abroad has came and went, and what a ride it was! The last couple of days were filled with finishing touches on my work, farewells, and a couple of final excursions. Me and my roommate went to the National Museum to look at some Swedish art, and also watched…
Success in Korea
Due to the incredibly rapid expansion of the economy in the past fifty years, the job market in Korea has become incredibly competitive. There are more and more people going to college while there are limited highly specialized positions that people are going to school for. Korea is known to have one of the most…
Two Weeks in Pittsburgh Coupled with Chaos and Growth
As the Pittsburgh portion of our program starts winding down, I’ve been thinking a lot about everything that’s happened so far.

There is no easy way to summarize an experience that has given me new perspectives, meaningful connections, personal growth, and memories that will stay…
Rain or Shine
Over the past few days, we have paired our analysis of Ireland’s business culture with its natural landscapes and ecotourism industry. We have now visited many viewpoints/castles such as Giant’s Causeway, Doe Castle, and Glenveigh. Each site has brought a different experience, mainly according to the weather at the time; Ireland is often rainy and…
Finding Success in Korea
For my last week in Korea, I spent most of my free time soaking everything in. I revisited my favorite cafes and restaurants, had authentic braised chicken and Korean fried chicken one last time, and did some last minute souvenir shopping. More than anything though, I tried to slow down and appreciate the atmosphere and…
What About the Weather?
It’s now August, and it feels like the Haller Global Fellowship Program is flying by! The end of today actually marks the halfway point of the Ireland portion of the program. We’ve already been to so many significant natural landmarks in Ireland, so I wanted to reflect on how some of our explorations of Ireland’s…
