Living and working in a new country pushed me out of my comfort zone in ways I didn’t expect. I had never really had to deal with a language barrier before, and at first, it was honestly kind of scary. I was used to being able to say exactly what I meant and having people…

Post-Trip Conclusion
When I first arrived in Berlin, I expected this experience to be primarily about gaining technical skills and adding professional experience to my résumé. While I certainly accomplished those goals through my internship at w3.hub, I am leaving with something much more valuable: a new perspective on myself, my future, and what it means to…
Saunas to Strategy
This week, our program took us to Finland’s capital, making it easily one of my favorite weeks abroad. We boarded a cruise line Friday night, danced the night away, and woke up in Helsinki, Finland. I was separated from my friends for the morning. Most people had signed up to go to the saunas and…
Seeing Carrigart for the First Time
After spending the past two weeks preparing in Pittsburgh, finally stepping into Carrigart felt both familiar and completely new. Throughout the program, we have studied the town through research, maps, conversations with our client, and discussions in class. I thought I had developed a fairly clear picture of what Carrigart would be like, but walking…
Carrigart, Oh Carrigart
On Thursday, we finally arrived in Carrigart!! This town is the main focal point of our consulting project, and who will be the audience for our final presentations!! Two things I noticed immediately in Carigart was the friendliness of every person we interacted with and the breathtaking natural scenery found in Carrigart. Although it is…
History in a Day in Carrigart

It was very exciting to finally see the town we’ve been researching for so long, and it was safe to say that it was exactly how I’d envisioned it. Carrigart is a beautiful little town, and absolutely tiny by American standards. There’s only around…
Bye Bye, Berlin
Hello! This is my last blog post from the International Internship Berlin Program, and I must say it is really sad to have to leave Berlin. It is a delightful and unique city, with so much to do and see, and I can only hope to back at some point. I can easily say I…
First Impression of Carrigart
Today we finally arrived at our project destination, Carrigart. We were greeted by Brandon, the CEO of AllPeopleBeHappy, and he gave us a little tour around and showed us their park. Then we ate lunch at a local restaurant, and right after we met with the owner of the gift shop they had. She was…
Giant’s Causeway and Derry’s History
Today was one of those days where every stop felt different from the last. We started at Magheracross before going to Giant’s Causeway, and the views were incredible. Pictures don’t really capture how impressive it is in person. I thought it was interesting that the same place can be explained through science with volcanic activity…
