The Completion of a Goal
Two years ago at the beginning of my first co-op I made two short-term goals. The first goal was to obtain a co-op in a different area nationally and after the co-op be able to study abroad in a different country. From that day I did everything I possibly could and successfully was able to ...
Travels in Europe
While I was studying abroad in Germany I made sure to use the opportunity to travel to different countries and cities throughout Europe. Europe is a lot smaller than the United States and everything is really close to each other, so traveling to different places is actually pretty inexpensive. Coming to Europe was my first ...
World Cup and End of the Semester
Hello, this will probably be my last time checking in! It is currently day 2 of finals week and I will be catching a flight back to America in 3 days. Because this Hanyang semester ends just the week before summer term of Drexel starts, which is Monday, I won’t be able to document my ...
Souvenir Shopping in Myeongdong and Insadong
As my time in Korea is slowly coming to an end, I have begun my task to come home with a few presents for my family. The two places that I recommend going to are Insadong and Myeongdong, which seems to have almost everything you would need for souvenirs. First up, Insadong, the traditional district ...
Lotte World Tower
In a post before when I went to Namsan Tower, I mentioned that I ultimately decided to not go up the tower and was satisfied enjoying the view up from the mountain and the other activities, such as the leaving behind my mark on a lock. This time, I went with a friend to the ...
Ultra Music Festival Korea 2018
When in South Korea, besides traveling around and seeing as much history and culture as you can, I also recommend to check what events might be happening exclusively in Korea while you are there. This could possibly range from concerts, shows, musicals, pop-up cafes, and so-on. One particular event that my friends and I were ...
From Korea To Vietnam Part 2
The second day, I woke up really early to go meet my family in Vietnam for the first time. They immediately greeted me and offered us food and drinks, as making sure your guest is fed is of huge importance in culture. They also brought me to the graveyard to offer respects to the grandparents ...
From Korea to Vietnam Part 1
The coolest thing about going to an Asian country is that there are so many other countries and cultures so close-by. In comparison, America seems a little more isolated. So my friends and I wanted to take this study abroad opportunity to travel to at least one other Asian country before heading back to our ...
Changed but Still the Same
Finals are finally over and my stay in Bochum, Germany has almost concluded. On Monday, 11JUN18, I took two exams: German and Heat Transfer. We had a brief review session of German from 0830 to 0900 and my German exam lasted from 0900 to 1200. During the exam, I was confident that I understood most ...
Looking Back On It All
“It always seems impossible until it’s done” – Nelson Mandela Even after submitting all of my papers, packing my bags, being thrown a going home party, and making my way to the airport, I still can’t believe it’s all over. Three months literally flew by and I’m amazed at all that I accomplished in such ...
