Don’t get me wrong, the food here in Spain is amazing, but as someone who drinks at least two cups of coffee a day, that’s what I’ve really been appreciating. After three months here, I think it’s fair to say Spaniards in general take their coffee seriously. You can find a busy café on every…

I will never forget traveling to London to explore the incredible city and learning about accounting processes in the United Kingdom. Having the chance to visit multiple accounting firms, including all the Big Four, in London was a remarkable experience. The chance to network and connect with new individuals during these business visits was just…
