Last internship update from Hamburg! I just can’t believe the summer is almost over, and it’s time to go back to Philadelphia. Yesterday was the last day at work and it still doesn’t feel real. August was super short to me because it was mostly consisted of vacation days. One of the good things about the institute where I work is that it allows interns … Continue reading Wrapping up life in Hamburg
While I love sharing my experience here at the OECD, I understand that each intern who comes here experiences things a bit differently. You’ll work on different projects, with different people, and on different teams. In order to give you a more comprehensive taste of intern experience here, I collected some data (woohoo!!!). I asked a few other interns from across the OECD to weigh … Continue reading Humans of the OECD
Hallo! As promised, I wanted to provide a snapshot of the projects I’ve been working on this summer!* *Note: We are trying to spread awareness about our projects and platforms in order to engage as many people as possible. For this reason, I’m openly sharing what we’ve been up to! Other organizations may have different policies about this. Something to keep in mind if you … Continue reading Projects & Platforms & Programmes, Oh my!
Thankfully, le ville chaleur has cooled down really quickly, and the temperature was very soon reinstated. As with any other experiences, last weeks of the internship were times of pressure and rush. But in very positive manner! I felt pressured to explore the city as much as possible to make sure I’m not missing out on cool experiences that Paris can provide. And therefore, I … Continue reading Adieu Paris!
Two months down, one to go! This summer has gone by in a flash. I feel like I am just getting settled into my life and routine here and yet its already time to makes plans to come home! The OECD prefers longer stays here so my internship is just over 13 weeks. Most of the interns stay for 6 months. In talking with … Continue reading The Nitty Gritty
It’s been a month since I posted the first blog and when looking back, it seems like many things have changed even though it feels like every day is almost the same. Hamburg is always very peaceful (especially, the place I live in is very very very serene) and I am having a good time. There are a lot happening, but among all of them, … Continue reading These days in Hamburg (Subtitle: Any idea for lunch?)
Hallo Hallo Hallo! It’s time for an update! The past month was CRAZY due to multiple conferences and the launch of the Youth Employment online platform (I’ll do a separate post explaining a little bit more about each program). Things have slowed down and I’m learning that with program management, there are really intense 10-hour days for a few weeks and then really calm, deskwork … Continue reading Busy in Bonn!

I can feel the cool breeze coming through my balcony window as I write this blog post so perhaps, Paris is no longer la ville chaleur it has been for the past week. But when I look back at my time in Paris since the last blog post, all I can remember is the struggle to fight the heat that most Parisiens were not prepared … Continue reading La ville lumière devient la ville chaleur
