Summer Global Internship London, England
Hometown: Long Beach, New York

Cara's Program

This summer I’m not just stepping out of my comfort zone -I’m taking a 3,500 mile hop skip and a jump away from it by crossing the Atlantic ocean and interning in London, England through the CIEE Global Internship program.

While a lot of this blog will be dedicated to the completion of my London List, I’ll also be including London survival tips, what it’s like when I walk around London in an American flag dress on 4th of July and how my internship goes. If you’re going on this journey yourself: good luck. If you’re just here to see if I survive- I’m wondering the same and welcome hearing your observations on my life. Why not.
