Is even more snow possible?? Yes, in Canada!!!



Having had the chance to experience a lot of snow in Detroit, and even more up north in Indian River, it was now time to check out the amount of snow even further north in another country-  Canada!!!

Our destination was the township of Muskoka Lakes in the Canadian province of Ontario where we wanted to meet up with some friends. One of our friends has a cottage up there right next to Lake Muskoka in the city of Port Carling. Muskoka Township with over 1,600 lakes is known for being a popular tourist destination with lots of cottages. A lot of people love to come here in the summer time as well as in  in the winter, just as we did.

Without traffic and snow it usually takes about 6 hours to get there from Royal Oak, but since it was really snowy we didn’t arrive in Port Carling before midnight, having left at 4:00 pm. After we arrived, a late night dinner in front of the fire in the very pretty and warm cottage was a nice ending to the day.

Saturday, after a wonderful breakfast or maybe it’s better to say brunch, we enjoyed a long day outside in the wonderful nature of Ontario. We tried cross country skiing and enjoyed the vast diversity of nature around the cabin and lake. We also found skiing on snow covered roads was as much fun as skiing in the woods and across the lake.

After coming back from a long day outside, it was time to prepare our dinner and use the chance to get a little bit warmer inside the cabin. After having warmed up we went outside again and started shoveling a fire pit in the middle of the snow, where after finishing we sat and drank hot beverages at night. It was a nice opportunity to bring to an end what turned out to be an amazing day.
  



After waking up on Sunday, even before having breakfast, we put the snowshoes on and started a little hike through the woods. Seeing the untouched snow everywhere and making the first footprints in it was more than wonderful.  Coming back to the cottage after, it was time to have lunch and enjoy the last opportunity to sit together before it was time to head back to the USA.

Looking back, this weekend past by really quickly, but it was an awesome time with a lot of unforgettable experiences and of course soooooooo much snow.

About Cologne, Cars and Trees… - Update from the other Side of the Lake

 Hi or as we would say in Franconia "Servus", a couple of months have passed since I started my internship at AutoCom and even though I cannot share something about the amazing sites within and around Detroit, I can still give you an update on what is happening.  Philipp has joined us two months ago and we two are currently working on the Social Media Appearance of AutoCom. Even as "digital nomads" we encounter challenges and still have a lot to learn. However, it is great just to create new things from scratch or nearly immediately see a result when sharing a story or creating a post.  But enough of work… About Cologne Larry and the others offered me to go to Cologne to attend a meeting with a client and I - of course - couldn't resist and decided to stay even a bit longer. It was a nice trip with splendid late summer weather and I was able to take a lot of images - at least until my battery died.  About cars Since some of my initial projects were crushed by th...

A New Year, a New Intern

Hi everybody, My name is Véronique and I am happy to say that I will be one of the new interns at AutoCom beginning on March 19. I am a 21 year old student from Germany. The internship is part of my International Business & Management degree that I am working on at the Hanze University in Groningen, Netherlands. I am currently in my third year at Hanze University and the previous semester I studied abroad at a partner university in Macau, China, where I took courses related to my marketing major. I am very excited to start my second stay abroad in a few weeks and I hope that I will gain a lot of professional experience and get to know the area of public relations while working at AutoCom. I also love traveling, so I hope I will be able to see as much of the U.S. as possible, especially since it is my first stay there. It has always been a dream of mine to visit the U.S. and now being able to learn the entire culture and industry by actually living there is a huge bonus. Right now I...

It feels good to be home!

After completing my third year at Northern Michigan University in the Upper Peninsula, it feels good to be back home and in the office again. Larry was very gracious in allowing me to come back to AutoCom. For those of you that do not know me, my name is Tedi Falvo. Last summer I did an internship with AutoCom, and learned a lot about public relations outside of the classroom. Books can only teach you so much- the real learning comes when you go out on your own and put everything you have learned to the test. Last summer was a great experience, and I was thankful to work with such a great staff that was willing to help me succeed. While I was in Marquette, Mich. continuing my studies in public relations, and sociology, I remained in contact with AutoCom. When I had a question regarding an aspect of my studies, I always knew where to turn! It is nice to have wonderful people surrounding and filling you with all of their knowledge. That is one aspect I love about working here-everyone wo...
