fully loaded days of research in Reykjavik, Iceland, and the surrounding area. We stayed at a house outside of town, and our research directors laid out different options every day, from museums to hikes, and we could choose what would best benefit our personal topic. They wanted us to gain a lot of information by immersing ourselves in the culture and meeting with locals.

I did an internship with a microfinance organization and did research about a small town in Oaxaca.
