….It was summer time in Northern – Michigan!




… It was summer time in Northern Michigan!
Hello again!
As Niko and Merle are already gone, it is quite empty and quiet in the AutoCom office… I hope both of them had a relaxing flight and arrived safely back home. I wish Niko all the best for his future and an amazing road trip across California. Do not forget to share some pictures with us!!! Fortunately, Merle is still part of our team, and I am so happy that I can carry on and bother her with lots of questions!  

Since I spent the last two weekends relaxing in Royal Oak and visiting the great malls nearby, it was time to discover other places in the USA.  As the leaves are already changing colors, my friend Sarah and I decided to catch the last shafts of sunlight in the North of Michigan. 

After an exhausting five-hour drive, we finally arrived at our first attraction – The “Sleeping Bear Dune.”  Surprisingly instead of a hiking trail, one discovered the national park by car. We were very impressed by the overlook we had from the platforms. As we had wonderful weather, the blue sky was reflected by the clear water, and you were able to recognize the different water levels by the diverse shades of blue.
After we climbed the dunes we visited the restored village of Glen Haven. There we found a blacksmith shop, where we had the opportunity to see how iron was heated and forged into a dinner bell. After spending some time on the beach, we left heading toward Traverse
City. On the way we stopped by at a little farmer’s shop where we bought some delicious apples and sweet snacks and had a nice dinner at a lovely diner next to it.
When we arrived in Traverse City the sun was already going down. We had a walk on the beautiful harbor and through downtown.  Since it was such a wonderful( but also long) day, both of us were happy to have some rest in the hostel that  we just booked on a short-run.

After we woke up and had breakfast, we went on our way home and stopped by at a really big outlet shopping mall where, out of the blue,  spent the rest of our day and made some great deals. Exhausted but happy and with many amazing impressions, I passed the city sign of Royal Oak in the evening and could not believe that another weekend was already gone.
I will keep you posted about my next Michigan-adventures. I am also looking forward to introducing  you to a new intern soon.

The harbor is amazing! Thanks for sharing your happiness. Michigan is my favorite place. I like watching the sun rising in the morning and making it so shining and warm.

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...

I won’t be an intern anymore. :)

Hi everybody! There is news again from my life. You know, I am a person who never stops doing something. Either I travel almost every weekend (like I did in the States) or I am looking for new challenges all the time. :-) Well, my internship in Munich as a marketing consulting intern is not too bad, but I have finished University…so what I want is a real job and not an internship. (The only internship I would love to do, even after I graduated, is the one I already did with AutoCom). :) So I continued applying for jobs. I restricted the area to Bavaria for the first applications, because I love that part of Germany. I love the Bavarian dialect (it is so cute and sexy the same time). I love their “Brezn” and their white sausages. And here is the news: I will start on the 26th of November as an employee at Novartis. Novartis is a huge German pharmaceutical company. I will work there for the strategic sourcing marketing. So I will be the one choosing agencies, advertising materials and so...

Hi everyone, My name is Sarah Heuser. I’m 23 years old and from a small town near Cologne, Germany. I just finished my master’s in Journalism and Corporate Communications at the University of Applied Sciences in Wuerzburg. Even though I have a bachelor’s degree in Media and American Studies, I have never been to the US before. That’s why I really wanted to do an internship here so I could see what life and work is like. Rebecca and Julian, the other AutoCom interns, picked me up from the airport last Saturday and my new roommates and some of their friends were already waiting for me. We are all living in Royal Oak, but I’m in a different house than the other AutoCom interns. They are currently taking me to work as I am still figuring out details regarding my car. Last week, which was also my first week at work, was the 4 th of July holiday. That’s why I joined Rebecca, Julian and other interns on a trip to New York. We drove over ten hours but it was worth it: the city is impr...
