  • The Big Apple

    One of the main highlights from the time I have spent in American has to be the short weekend trip to New York City. We travelled to New York two weekends ago and it was fully packed with activities and sightseeing. This included a trip to the Museum...

  • Better later than never

    Hi everyone Those who know me may have been wondering why I was not writing my blog over last few weeks. The reason was simple- just before I got to Germany on the scheduled date some complications occurred according to my work permit (I’m from...

  • Fantasy Business Football

  • Start of Ramadan

  • Responsibility, What’s Your Policy?

    My time at Liberty Mutual is coming to the end, as sad as it sounds I am very grateful I have been able to work for such an inspirational company for the past 5 weeks. Liberty Mutual’s creed was created almost 100 years ago and the picture it paints...

  • I'll be Carrie, you can be Samantha.

    This past week has been nothing short of hectic, with work being thrown in my direction from all angles of the office. To make matters worse every deadline seemed to fall on the same day. Although it's fair to say I wasn't the happiest camper...

  • Going nuts (on brand)

    If you are sitting in your office reading this then probably scattered around you (or neatly arranged for the more organised) are some pens, perhaps a block of notepaper or even a mug with a logo on it. Probably it is the logo of the company you work...

  • Paparazzi

    One thing that sets LA apart from Scotland is the weather….waking up each day to the sun in the sky and no clouds just is not something that happens much at home, its such a great way to start the day!! Being in the Hills at MediaXchange means...

  • Week 5....4...5?

    So time continues to go by so fast and I can't believe week 5 is coming to an end already (apologies for the unimaginative blog titles... I'm not much of a creative person!). The past couple of weeks in work have really stepped up as our department...
