Colorful Michigan…

Hi everyoneJ
It is almost November - it is getting colder and colder in Michigan, there is already frost during the night and my internship is already halfway done. I cannot believe that the time has passed so fast.
During the last weekends Nicole and I were traveling to Canada and up-North, where we were able to enjoy the colorful trees and the changing vegetation.

At Nicoles’ first weekend we travelled to Toronto with her new car, which did a great job driving through seasons’ first snow storm. Unfortunately, we arrived quite late and were only able to see this great city by night. We did the sky walk, enjoyed the lighting and walked through the streets looking at the impressive architecture. We finished our day with a dinner in a sweet traditional pub, watching hockey match. On Sunday we planned to visit the Niagara Falls on the Canadian site. Thank you Jack for your great advise!  As it was freezing cold, we soon decided, to do the walk on the river front and to discover the sweet town instead of taking the expensive boat ride. Luckily, even though it was quite cold the sun was shining and the sky was blue. So we were able to enjoy a great outlook and were able to take some nice pictures. After we had driven back and had nervously passed the border, we had dinner in a typical American Diner.

On the last weekend we did a great trip up-north with Sarah and her colleagues.  We were a great group and so we had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we didn’t have luck with the weather this time and it was raining all Saturday long. But we did not mind and kept on visiting the cute Mackinac City and the amazing Tahquamenon Falls. After a typical American Sunday brunch in Saint Ignace we took the ferry to Mackinac Island. This beautiful little island is my favorite place in the U.S. so far. The traditional architecture of the buildings is amazing. Moreover, it is perfect for a relaxing weekend trip, because unlike to the American way of life there are no cars on the island. So you can just enjoy a walk, do a bicycle tour around the island or do horseback riding. As Sarah and I love animals and miss our pets so much, we decided to do an hour of horseback riding. Since Nicole and I don’t have a lot of experience with horses, we were quite afraid. But after a few minutes we learned to trust Buck, Beauty and Angi and enjoyed every minute of the ride. After heating up with hot cider we drove back to Royal Oak.



 This weekend is Halloween and we are so excited to dress up, do trick and treating and to go to a creepy party. Nicole will talk about our scary adventure in her next blog-post.

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...
