Czech Republic

1. Pilsen: factory of the most famous Czech beer Pilsner
2. Cesky Krumlov: Small city in South Bohemia considered as UNESCO World Heritage site.
3. Karlovy Vary: Small spa town situated in western Bohemia. It is historically famous for its hot springs. It is the most visited spa town in Czech Republic.
4. Karlstejn Castle: Gothic Castle built by Charles IV. It is 30 min away from Prague.

One of the main reasons that made me choose Prague was its perfect location. Czech Republic is located in Central Europe and it has borders with Germany, Poland, Slovakia and Austria. I can even say that Prague can be considered as "the heart of Europe". It is really easy to travel anywhere else from Czech Republic. Another reason for choosing Czech Republic was that everything is really cheap! I could get a really good meal for less that $5. (Hint: Beer anywhere in Prague is $1)

My name is Shari Maxwell and I started the Online Executive MBA program in February of 2013.  At the time, I was living in Hagerstown, MD, working as a Production Manager for Rust-Oleum.  My background is in chemical engineering and I have 18 years of experience in manufacturing as a process engineer, process improvement leader, and several management positions.  I recently moved to Baltimore after taking an Operations Manager position with WR Grace.  The EMBA courses helped prepare me for my new role and have been using what I've learned since day one.
