This last week in Prague was truly bittersweet. On a personal note, the farewells were amazing with all of the people I had met here, and it was a great time spending the last few nights here and reminiscing on some of the things we will miss, going to our favorite restaurants, and obviously visiting…

When in Rome…
This week put my whole experience abroad into perspective. I decided to book one last trip to Italy with a couple of friends from my dorm as some people were finishing up their internships this past week. My coworkers gave me the go-ahead to take off on Friday so I would have an extra day…
Comfortability and New Environments
This week in Prague felt like I was back at home. Although over 4,000 miles away from my actual home in Pittsburgh, the consecutive weekends travelling and then getting right back to work in Prague was a little bit much the past few weeks. Spending my whole week in Prague was a much-needed breather. I…
July 4th in Split!
This week was a dream come true. July 6th is a national holiday, and so myself and a large group of friends booked a trip to Split, which was easily one of the top places I wanted to see while abroad. I got to leave work mid-day Friday and catch my flight at 4:50 and eventually…
Finding a Footing
Week four took me out of Prague entirely — to Wrocław and Zakopane, Poland. The first half of the week was a work trip to another office, a few days learning a new piece of software my supervisor has wanted me to get comfortable with before the next phase of the project I’m working on….

After a wild first couple of weeks, this one in Prague was a much needed break. No travel, last-minute trips, or sleep-deprived days walking through a European city. Rather a steady rhythm of waking up, going to the office, and acting like a regular person that lives here. A quiet, but still productive week was…
A Productive Week to an Impulsive Weekend
Wow, week two was absolutely amazing. The beginning of the week threw me in at the deep end in the best possible way — not with time management, but rather survival mode. Lucent Renewables operates in a world I had essentially zero background in before walking through the door on Monday. Renewable energy sounds straightforward…
Charles This, Charles That
It is wild to think that a week here in Prague has already gone by, as it has easily been one of the most eventful weeks of my life. From starting the week with an Old Town walking tour, to ending the week with a gloomy, but gorgeous trip to Kutná Hora, it has been…
Pittsburgh do Praha!
Hello everybody! My name is Will Speers, and I just finished up my second year at the University of Pittsburgh. I am now well under the anticipated 24 hour countdown for leaving Pittsburgh to fly into to Prague, which is surreal to be typing. A little about me outside of the boring stuff: I was…
