Finally back in the United States after a great summer full of working, traveling, and experiencing so many new things. My internship had many challenges, perhaps the most challenging part being dealing with the fast paced work and many different tasks I had to juggle at once. Working at a startup is a lot of fun and a lot of work, you constantly have to keep up with the work being thrown at you and making sure that work gets done right. Another big challenge for me was adjusting to Latin American business culture. There were so many different aspects of communication that were considered polite or the right way in the United States, whereas in Latin America they could be taken as rude. Luckily my boss was from NYC, so she totally understood the difference and helped me learn how to adjust.
Overall it was a great summer. I realized that I am a really lousy blogger, so I apologize for that. If you want to hear more about my 3 week trip around Peru and Bolivia, feel free to shoot me an email.
