What I liked

Perspective offered on conflict in other countries that is not often discussed. For example I got to study the conflict in newly established South Sudan, and learn about the specific sources of conflict in the area. Using that information, I wrote an article discussing the how some of the work the GPF has done in countries in similar situations as South Sudan would be useful if implemented in the country.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been working closer to D.C. rather than being situated twenty miles outside of it.

Advice

Figure out transportation early. Particularly if you are using public transit. Learning the bus routes and schedules in the area can save you a lot of unnecessary and expensive uber fares.
