Program: Frontline Medical Volunteering | Emergency & Trauma
From my very first interaction with Medi Trip and speaking with Pearl about what I wanted to gain out of my trip, until my very last day in Tanzania, I felt fully supported, completely safe, and genuinely cared for. It is clear that everyone involved in Medi Trip truly wants to change the world. Day by day, they create experiences that shift your perspective on life, teach you how different people see the world, and help you learn how to be a better person in the process. Not a day goes by now where I don’t mention my trip to Arusha and the time I spent with exceptional humans who all shared the exact same goal of making a positive change. During my 3-week nursing internship, I learned multiple lifelong skills that have fundamentally shaped my practice. Immersed in a resource-limited environment, I vastly improved my clinical adaptability, cross-cultural communication, and rapid triage assessment skills, while learning to navigate complex pathologies less common back home. The staff at the hospital were extremely friendly and wanted to learn as much from us as we did from them. Every single member of staff I came across was incredibly grateful for our presence, eager to learn about our culture, and fascinated by how the healthcare world differed across borders. A definitive highlight of my trip happened on a day when I was asked to support the junior doctors with learning catheter insertion, as I was already qualified to do this back home. In return—through what I believe was full trust built by constantly asking the doctors questions and showing genuine dedication—the doctors got to know me and wanted to say thank you. They asked if I wanted to stay in on an emergency C-section. That day, I got to experience the birth of a healthy little boy. I supported the mother, handed medical equipment to the lead doctor, and took part in a clinical milestone I will absolutely never forget. Coming back from the hospital each day was pure comfort. The accommodation felt so homely, the food was absolutely tasty every single day, and the welcome home each afternoon was incredibly warm and loving. From the moment I got home, all I wanted to do was return. I am still utterly grateful for the lessons I learned. I came home a better clinician and a better person, and for that, I will be forever grateful to Medi Trip.
My Erasmus+ traineeship in Japan was an experience that changed the way I see both my professional and personal development. During my time at Peace Works, I had the opportunity to work in an international environment, take part in creative projects, and observe how communication and collaboration works. One of the most meaningful aspects of the traineeship was the opportunity to work on photography and social media content. I could use my background in photography while also learning more about content creation, visual communication, and working with a team. Every project gave me the chance to try something new and become more confident in sharing my ideas. Living in Tokyo was an important part of the experience as well. Being surrounded by a completely different culture encouraged me to become more independent and adaptable. I met people from many different backgrounds and learned to communicate with people whose experiences and perspectives were different from my own. I am grateful for the people I met, the opportunities I was given, and the challenges I faced along the way. This traineeship not only gave me professional experience, but also helped me understand myself better and become more confident about the direction I want to take in the future.



Program: Guided Internships in Bali with Placement, Housing & Support
I did a 5 month marketing internship in Bali through Island Internship and it was the best decision of my bachelors. I had previously done an internship in my home country and hands down I prefer the internship abroad. They hand-matched me to a company that fit my goals, sorted my housing and airport pickup, and checked in throughout. Having placement and accommodation handled meant I could focus on the work and actually enjoy Bali. The community events made it easy to meet other interns. Would recommend to any student wanting a internship abroad without the stress of arranging it alone.

I was really nervous about how my first week was gonna turn out, but it's been really fun - I gained a lot of experience and knowledge. Really grateful I got to meet everyone; everyone is super friendly and I love the work environment too.

Program: Frontline Medical Volunteering | Emergency & Trauma
I have been with meditrip to Tanzania now twice and both of the times have been amazing! I had a good time talking to Pearl for the preparations and expectations. Pearl also was a great help with discussing a topic I could use to write my thesis. When I arrived the second time it really felt like coming home. I love the home feeling in the hostel. I also met the most amazing people in the hostel who are now some of my closes friends. In the hospital I had great guidance in Kaloleni Hospital. Overall I had the most amazing experience and I can't wait to go back!!
Program: Hospitality & Business Internship
The Organization helped me alot, I apreciate the step by step guidance, patience and dedication of the team, Their ability to coordinate to ensure seamless efficiency from start to finish is truly impressive. I apreciate all the help and support I got throughout before, during and even atfer the internship. Thank you.
I undertook an Internship here, with this Company in 2024 for 2 Months! This Internship was great for my personal growth and career growth. There are the sub points : 1. Location : Its Location in Minato City, near Shibuya, ensured that I experienced the traditional Japanese Work Life Structure, and surrounded myself with other Hard working Japanese and Foreign People. 2. The Supervisor : The Supervisor was super Patient, very friendly, and very willing to support me by explaining new concepts and style of working. I definitely learnt a lot! The supervisor, Thom, genuinely aims to help the students and people who work with and under him, by offering IMMENSE Network Opprunities and he allows and encourages you to work on different projects and play to your strengths. 3. The Support that they provided in terms of Living, Visa, and Daily/ Emergency Support, was very helpful. Since, they have some experience working with students and foreigners , they are very comfortable with the problems the foreigners may have! I definitely recommend, this Internship Experience, here. Definitely worth the time and cost!
I had a great experience during my internship. Everyone was very welcoming and supportive. I learned a lot through my time here and really appreciated the opportunity to gain a valuable experience in a completely new country.
This was an amazing time. I met the best people from all around the world. I made friendships that will last a lifetime and people I can visit in every country. The traveling I did around Japan was priceless.
This was a great experience. I met a lot of people and professionally developed myself. Being in a foreign country has enlightened me new perspectives. I am really disappointed to leave. I could not have asked for a better way for this to work.
I had such an amazing experience in Tokyo! I recommend it to everyone because you get to meet so many amazing people while learning skills you can later apply in the real world. This experience has expanded my global perspective and allowed me to work along individuals from different backgrounds.
I came over here not knowing what to expect but ended up having a great time working with a diverse group of people from all over the world! The Japanese program Director is wonderful, patient, and entertaining! We had the opportunity to go to different parts of Japan as well and we also worked with a variety of different types of clients, both run by Japanese business people and by foreign business people, a great experience for anyone who would like to learn more about working abroad in their intern programs
