Connections with the Boston Mafia

The toil of choosing the name of your first blog post can be a daunting challenge. This first week of this Saltire escapade for many has no doubt mirrored my turbulent first week here in Boston. In just under a week I’ve flown across the world, started an exciting and invigorating new job, and...

From the Sox to the Jersey Shore...

This week I have managed to live out two American dreams. Big statement I hear you say. One of them is pretty obvious, the other is purely reliant on my (some may say bad) taste in television shows. The former came in the form of a trip to Fenway Park to see the Boston Red Sox play baseball and the latter...

Get out of the freezer, it's my turn!

So its 2 weeks into my internship and myself and the rest of the guys seemed to have perfected a new talent...inhaling our food!! Seriously, what they say about portion sizes over here in America is so far from the truth...they are bigger! I’m going to have to get a little zimmer to ride about...

Cracking week 1...

If this blog goes badly I blame it on the amount of gorgeous food I’ve been heavily munching, which has made my arms get too chunky meaning I can’t type very well. I’m in Boston with 5 other interns staying in university halls about a ten minute walk from Liberty Mutual where 4 of us...

Bye Bye Boston

I've now been back in Scotland for just over two weeks and I'm missing Boston already!! My last week at Liberty was fantastic! It included me presenting my final presentation to my manager about how I think the sales staff should be distributed and seeing all of the work that I've done over...

It all feels a bit Surreal...???

Well I have been back on Scottish soil for four days and it has all felt a bit surreal. It must be the change in time zone but traveling home had a strange dreamlike quality. I seemed only to register that I was indeed home in Scotland when I saw my mum at the airport and then got back to the house to...

Leaps and Bounds

It is amazing to think that a little over eight weeks ago I was fretting about what to wear to work (as I am sure most of us; even the boys were doing,) running round the house packing my suitcase and reviewing all the documentation I needed to enter the US and then checking it all over again for good...

The start of the winding down period... Week 7.

Its crazy but I still can't believe there is only one full week of my Liberty Mutual Group Benefits internship left. It is a sad thought that I will have to leave next friday; I will greatly miss my new friends and the lively City of Boston. I have truely enjoyed my summer here, there has been so...

You can never take our freedom!

Today in Boston it almost feels as though I could be at home in Scotland with the drizzly rain and overcast clouds its just like a Scottish summer. As Boston is on the East Coast it gets a variety of weather. Since we've arrived there have been flash floods, glorious sunshine, and torrential rain...

Growing in Confidence

Well I am now officially half way through week five. Its so strange to think that 5 weeks ago i was still in Scotland and now I am in the USA having what i am sure will be one of the best experiences of my life. I can safely say now that I DO NOT WANT TO COME HOME! This week I feel like my confidence...

Living out a suitcase!

Hey everyone hope you've all had a good week! I've just had an amazing ending to my fourth week at Liberty Mutual. As mentioned in last weeks blogs myself and the other Liberty interns were attending the annual senior forum this week. So on Wednesday and Thursday night we were put up in the Radisson...
