We all know it, moving is stressful. If you’ve been doing a lot of it, it’s probably downright dreadful by now. So when you add on foreign languages, strange customs and limiting weight restrictions, it’s no wonder that things can turn into a bit of a nightmare. Since I’ve done an international “pack your bags…

My First Week at one of the Best Business Schools in the World
While I was already at one of the best business schools in Europe studying my Master of Finance, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to study abroad one last time in my educational career. Many students at Frankfurt School choose to study abroad their last semester and since I am trying to make the most of…
What it’s Like to Visit Home after Nearly 2 Years of Travel
Every break, every holiday, it seems like every week, someone would assume, “but you’re going back home right?” I never really knew how to answer their questions because I myself didn’t know the answer. While it might not have been the best response, my standard reply was always that plane tickets cost a lot of…
Saying Goodbye to Frankfurt School; my Working Video Portfolio
After having already worked a fourth of my life, it has been so refreshing to finally be doing something I actually enjoy. Ever since I moved out at the age of 18, I have been working shitty retail jobs to get by. While I really value those experiences for what they taught me and for…
I’m Moving to Italy!
I’ve been hinting at this huge news for the last couple weeks and if you follow me on any of my social media you probably already know this, but I’m moving to Italy in February! Why you might ask? Just like my previous hop across the world, the answer is education. I have secured a position…
Small-Town USA to City Life in Germany; How it Happened
I’ve gotten a lot of questions like, “why Germany?” or “how’d you get here?” during my time studying in Frankfurt. It’s a pretty straightforward story that, on the surface, perhaps lacks some magical feeling of destiny or magic but I think that once people get to know me and where I’m from, they start to…
Daily Vlog! A Lazy Day for a Master of Finance Student
Hello everyone! Life has been giving me hell as of late. A few weeks back I had final exams which were very taxing and then they threw us right back into classes a few days later for the new quarter. I haven’t quite been able to get back into the swing of things but I…
A Taste of the Real World; Hell Week at Frankfurt School
Boy oh boy does this semester just keep getting better and better. If you saw my last post then you’ll know that last week I was a busy bee working on my uni’s advisory project. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then read on. Last Monday the entire Financial Advisory concentration of the…
A Good Ol’ Fashioned Weekly Update; Projects Galore as we end the Semester
It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and actually talked about what’s been going on in my Master of Finance program. I gave a brief overview in my A Life in the Day post which featured my “Follow me Around” vlog but didn’t really go in depth about my classes and projects, etc so, in case you…
The First time I ever left the United States; A Summer Studying Abroad in Germany
At the end of May, 2015 (after my junior year of college) I boarded a plane for the first time ever with a nonstop, 11 hour flight from Seattle to Frankfurt. I touched down in Germany and was picked up by my friend, Katharina. She had studied abroad in my little hometown in Washington state…
