Blog posts from an IBS Digital Ambassador experiencing Munich, Innsbruck, Padova, Venice, Verona, Geneva, Paris, Reims & London on Summer Europe!
Austrian Adrenaline One part of this trip I really enjoyed was the mix of free days and busy days. One of the most memorable free days I had was the early morning paragliding flight in Austria. It all started with my paragliding instructor Mr. Mike. He made sure to get Read More
My Summer Abroad in Europe I chose to attend the Summer Europe trip with International Business Seminars because I was searching for a program that was not too long, would lead me to multiple European countries, and help me with my future career. IBS stood out to me because it Read More
Best Places to Eat While in London Something I am very passionate about is food. During my time abroad with International Business Seminars, I documented my every bite and lived the “phone eats first” motto to the fullest. First, we visited London. The food in London was not anything special Read More
Visiting the BMW Assembly Plant After our first two days on the Summer Europe Seminar, I was excited to hear that we were going to visit the BMW assembly factory very soon. This day was an early start and drive to the assembly plant located in Regensburg, Germany. We arrived Read More
