Final reflections – AJ Baird
I have learned a lot about the many steps of business over in Spain. I learned about e-commerce and how useful it is for small businesses to find clients.

Reflections of Differences in Business Abroad – Laurence Brooks
I have loved my time at 3 BYT and experiencing the differences in the professional world in Spain. In Spain, I have noticed that work is not the central to the lives of Spainish people, as it often is the United States. I would say that I feel like Spanish people work to live, while…

My time abroad completely changed the way I think about day-to-day life, culture, and how people interact with each other.

First Blog – Ellie Holtzman
I am currently writing inside my dorm in Barcelona, Spain. Barcelona has been quite the experience. The culture in Spain is full of youthfulness and art. The way the city operates is quite different from that of the US. They run a little bit later. For example, normal lunch time is around 2 pm, and…

Final Reflection – Berlin Internship – Sophie Edwards
In a way, no matter how much you prepare yourself for business differences in other countries, it feels silly when you experience those differences for the first time. Even though you know Germans are more direct, do you know how to respond, because it is going to happen eventually, and you might find yourself taken…

Differences in Business Culture between the United States and Dublin, Ireland – William Webber
Spending the summer working in Dublin has given me the opportunity to observe some of the subtle yet important differences between American and Irish business cultures.

Once in a Lifetime – Claire McCusker
The summer brought me the unique chance to explore Europe with my peers on a marketing program which visited eight remarkable cities which included: London, Paris, Verona, Nice, Innsbruck, Munich and Lucerne. Each stop was extraordinary and beautiful in its own way, yet the most valuable aspect emerged from my deeper comprehension of international business and cultural discovery that emerged alongside personal growth. Our program studied global marketing…

My experience interning abroad has been nothing short of unique.
