When in Spain, we cook paella
By Kate Rau
Meaghan Kincaid is studying Business Economics at SUNY at Oneonta. This summer she spent eight weeks in Spain, completing a marketing internship at a leading co-working company in Barcelona.
“Our marketing department truly was a cohesive team that conquered the day in and day out changes of the community we strived to keep informed and the company we represented,” she writes on her blog, My Travels Abroad.
Below is an extract of a recent blog post, where Meaghan recounts an evening spent cooking paella with Connectors and friends in Barcelona.
Paella is one of Spain’s most famous dishes and who would I be if I didn’t sign up for a paella cooking class? Let me just say, making this delicious dish from scratch made all the difference. The tedious cooking process brought out flavors of garlic, saffron, and many, many more.

Kate is no stranger to international internships and studying abroad. After submitting her Honours thesis in French socio-linguistics and literature in 2003, she completed a program abroad in Reunion, where she learnt a lot about litchis, island-style living and French. She returned home with two degrees – one in journalism and one in French – and decided on a career in media. Fast-forward some 15 years later and Kate has enjoyed a few career highlights: She’s edited a number of consumer and trade magazine titles, she’s worked with some of the most influential international brands looking to save the planet, and she’s managed a full-house digital marketing agency in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Today Kate works as Marketing Manager for Connect-123 in Cape Town, which means she gets to share great stories about the excellent work we do every day.
