Now that my time in Prague has come to an end, it is honestly hard to put into words how grateful I am for this experience. Going into the program, I knew I would learn a lot, but I don’t think I realized just how much I would grow both personally and professionally. Living and…

Seoul My Soul! A New Perspective
Seoul was truly a crazy time. From the people I met to the places I explored and everything I learned about myself along the way, every part of the experience gave me something new to take home. Each adventure made me more excited to see another part of the world. This was my first time…
Waterbomb Festival & Final Reflections
During my last weekend in Seoul, I went to Waterbomb Festival! I have seen videos of the festival in the past, and I always thought that it would be fun to go, but I never thought that I would have the opportunity to! When I saw that it was taking place when I was still…
Trying Delicious Food in Jeonju
Our internship program took us on another weekend trip, which was Jeonju! I originally was not planning on going, but I am so glad I did. On the first full day, we got to try on hanboks, which is a type of traditional clothing. I was given a hanbok that was green and red, and…
Reflecting on Leadership

A summer in Paris that changed me forever
Two months seems like an eternity in any other case. But the two months I’ve spent in Paris are perhaps the fastest two months in my entire life. I’ve experienced and learned an enormous amount of things in a small period of time. I still remember my very first day when I landed at the…
This Feels Like (Afro)Euro Summer
This summer was quite transformative for me. I know I already expressed this sentiment before, but there is no other adjective I can think of that truly encapsulates how I feel about my time overseas. Within three months, I studied in Senegal, worked in Ireland, saw the Eiffel Tower alit, and watched shows in London’s…
Adjö Sweden
I thought this experience would be about the obvious stuff. A whole new city, language, and company I had never heard of. What I realized is that what works here in the US is different than what works in Sweden. The first thing I got wrong was that it would be hard. I figured the…
