After magically shoving all of my souvenirs into my suitcase that was overweight to begin with, I was off to the Munich airport. The security’s level of urgency was one I have never witnessed before. A very memorable experience. As our flight was taking off I felt very sad to leave my little Germany life…

For our free day, the whole group decided to make a trip to Salzburg, Austria. I was very happy we all decided to go as a group and really take in our last day as one. The train ride was very cool to experience as a big group.  Eric and I decided to spend the…

Today we took a trip to Regensburg. I spent the morning shopping and exploring the town. My favorite spot we stopped at was a record store. I bought a few gifts for loved ones that I thought they would enjoy.  The Walhalla was an amazing sight to see. Its interior was beautiful as well and…

Today I woke up bright and early to go on a run as an attempt to get nerves out before my presentation. After we all had breakfast we headed over to campus. I admired the German students ability to present so fluidly on top of English being their second language. They hold a level of…

Today we got to tour the Audi museum and the factory as well. This was by far my favorite factory tour and your guide. The groups we walked in were smaller than what we were used to so far which made it more engaging and personal. Seeing the actual production line of cars being made…

Although concentration camps and WWII as a whole is a very somber and heavy topic, I was really looking forward to today’s tour at Dachau. Our tour guide was amazing at not only providing information about the history of the camp but also at walking me through the emotional side of things. The experience as…

Today was another day full of excitement in Germany and one I was particularly excited about going to Munich. The city was jam packed with pedestrians much more than we have seen yet in Germany. It was a very fast moving city with a lot going on. Our tour was very insightful on the history…

Today was a very relaxing and bonding experience for my classmates and me as we strolled around Landsberg. We did some shopping and sightseeing as to what the town has to offer.

Today was beautifully scenic and very soul filling for me. We got on the bus and headed to Neuschwanstein. The route was very scenic and I had an amazing time viewing all of the properties leading up to our destination. The town was very lovely and we stopped in a few shops and bought souvenirs…

Today we made a trip to Hoerbiger for a company visit. We stopped at two different sites to get the full experience of the ins and outs of Hoerbiger’s operations. They showed us not only the factory side of the company but also the office and the employees’ day to day life which was very…

Today we visited two companies – Grob and Forvia! We started off bright and early leaving the hotel at 8AM off to visit Grob.  The inside of Grob’s building was beautiful and very futuristic. They treated us with coffee and pretzels which we all enjoyed while we listened to the first presentation. Grob is my…
