I have never really been one to enjoy teaching younger kids. I have found that I connect more with older students and am better able to relay content in a way that relates to them. However, I was pleasantly surprised walking into Troqueer Primary School for the first time. The students at this primary school…

Before departing for the beautiful country of Scotland, I was slightly anxious about traveling abroad. Prior to this trip I had only been out of the country once and it was not nearly as far away from home as Scotland is. I was very anxious about visiting a country that I had never been to…

We had the opportunity to learn about Tourism and Cultural Heritage management with Dr. Indounas. This lecture was personally my favorite from the whole course because it was very question and answer heavy which helped me learn more. First we started off with the basics, what is management?

We visited the University of Economics where we heard from several professors. One specifically that stood out to me was the lecture we heard about Nudges. This was taught by Niki Stiriou, the Executive Search and Design Consultant at ReBorn. She had an interesting lecture and talked to us about the use of Nudges in…
