Program: Global Internships in Spain
I am so grateful to have gone to Spain with Isla last summer. Malaga is a beautiful and fun city where I made many international friends and got to experience the amazing Spanish culture. My internship wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, but Isla worked with me to set up new opportunities to ensure I was getting a lot out of my experience. I met so many wonderful people on my trip and had so much fun.

I enjoyed working in collaboration with ISLA this past summer and my subsequent internship with PROAMB in Malaga. The ISLA staff is very supportive and attentive to your needs, and Malaga is a vibrant young city with lots to offer! PROAMB was a small sustainability consultancy, whose campaugn this summer requirede the work of myself and a team to travel to towns all over the province of Malaga and work with local communities (stakeholders, businesses, local governements, etc.) to improve their circular economies. The team was truly accommodating, and my housing was in the university neighborhood filled with bars and restaurants. Overall, a very positive experience.

Working with AIP was a great experience! AIP helped me locate an internship in Tainan, Taiwan. On the weekdays I received hands-on experience with my company, and on the weekends I adventured. My accommodations were right in the heart of the city, which made sampling Tainan’s cafe and food scene very convenient! I also had the opportunity to partake in mid-autumn festival. Enjoying mooncakes and pomelos under a bright night sky was unforgettable memory. I made so many meaningful experiences and connections from this trip, and I really appreciate AIP’s dedicated team for helping me along the way.
I had a great experience with the program. From the beginning, they were always attentive and available whenever I had any questions or problems. My advisor, Nisha, was especially helpful and always made sure I had the information and support I needed throughout the process. Overall, the program was well organized and I felt supported throughout my experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an internship abroad.

Program: Au Pair - Demi Pair in Seoul, Korea
My experience with Korea GapYear was truly amazing. Honestly, if it wasn’t for my school schedule, I would have loved to stay much longer in Korea. I have always dreamed of building a family in the future, and I have always loved spending time with children. I also had a strong desire to live abroad and experience life in a different country, so this was something very special for me. From the beginning, Korea GapYear helped me so much and match me with a host family that was a perfect for me. I was really lucky to meet such a wonderful family. They cared about me, supported me, and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. My parents were initially worried about me traveling alone to another country, but after seeing how happy and safe I was with my host family, they felt much more relieved. I truly found another family far away from home. Living in Seoul was such a fun and unforgettable experience. I enjoyed exploring the city, experiencing Korean culture, and studying Korean in my free time. I loved having a balance between time with my host family and children, learning about daily life in Korea, and having time to enjoy the city at my own pace. This experience gave me so many beautiful memories and helped me grow as a person. I never felt alone because i had my family and Korea GapYear supporting throughout the process and helped me feel safe in a completely new environment. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who loves children, wants to experience living abroad, and hopes to explore a new country in a safe and meaningful way. Korea GapYear made my first experience in Korea comfortable, exciting, and unforgettable. This was my family, and I already know that I will definitely come back to Korea again someday. Thank you Korea GapYear for giving me such a wonderful chapter of my life! Read More What was your funniest moment? The most unfamiliar Korean food I tried was probably Dak-ball 닭발 (chicken feet)! 😄 I know the name “chicken feet” might not sound very appealing, but it is honestly SO delicious! I highly recommend trying it, especially the boneless type. There are also different versions like rosé ! Another interesting thing is that are known to be rich in collagen, so many people say they are good for your skin. Maybe this is one of the hidden beauty secrets of Koreans? 😉


Program: Au Pair - Demi Pair in Seoul, Korea
I joined Korea gap year to spend six months in Korea as an au pair. I chose to spend my time in korea because I always loved children and was very curious about Korea and life in Seoul. Since I tend to worry a lot and was still quite young, I didn’t feel comfortable living alone in expensive housing in Seoul, so this program felt like a good and safe choice for me. I had the daytime free just for myself after i sent the kids to school. At first, going out every day didn’t feel easy, but I started Korean classes that were also recommended by Korea gap yeear. I also set a small goal to visit a new cafe. Korea has so many beautiful and unique cafes and I feel like I explored almost every neighborhood in Seoul. Compared to my home country, drinks are so cheap and the quality is amazing! Going to Korea was one of the best decisions I made. I didn’t expect learning a new language to be this enjoyable and it reminded me how meaningful it is to keep learning and experiencing new things. I would definitely recommend this experience to others. On top of everything, I met my very own Korean “family” that I will never forget!!
Program: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
I chose to do an internship in Korea, because I wanted to learn more about the working lifestyle and the culture here, since I feel like in the terms of world ranking, I would say it is very much developing and growing as a business center. I was having my internship for 3 months at a non profit organization. The people that worked at my internship were very sympathetic and welcoming. I went through the Korea GapYear program and they helped me find one, it was a real smooth sailing:) I would definitely recommend KGY!!! to anyone who wants to visit Korea or work in a Korean environment. It also helped to meet new people and discover new cultures. They were always communicating very very rapidly and are very attentive to the needs and expectations of those applied to their programs:)



Program: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
Hello! My name is Siva from Indonesia and I was an intern in Korea Gap Year for 3 months. My experience working with Korea Gap Year was fun and challenging. It was fun because all of the workers treat me like their friends and even family member and I never feel alone or left out in this Office. At the first time I came to Korea, one of the coworker really help me to settle everything from mobile phone number to looking for a house in Korea. And it was challenging because working in this office makes me learn many things from how to conduct business in Korean culture and sharpen my research skills and negotiation skills.They gave me several tasks in one time and make me learn how to multi - task It is also of course, requires me to speak Korea which is good because I could improve more my Korean Language. Last but not least, it was a worth experience to working with Korea Gap Year and love to working more with Korea Gap Year.
Program: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
Being here alone has made me truly independent, with a mindset shift towards prioritizing myself. Before, I always put others first, but living alone teaches you the importance of self-care because, without it, no one else will do it for you. This experience helped me grow, both personally and professionally, as I adapted to new challenges and learned the value of handling tasks in a professional way, which was a significant departure from my previous academic experiences. I am really grateful for the opportunity was given and would always come back to Korea.


I spent 1.5 months doing an internship at a hospital in Kathmandu. It was a truly valuable and unforgettable experience. I gained practical knowledge, met wonderful people, and had the opportunity to explore amazing places. It was much more than just an internship — it was a chance to learn, grow, experience a new culture, and step outside my comfort zone. I felt very well taken care of throughout the program, and whenever I had questions or problems, there was always someone ready to help. I highly recommend this program!

I am Amber, french student in international trade and I had a two-months internship at Korea GapYear. Thank you very much to Korea GapYear and to all the staff for allowing me to do my internship in Seoul as I really wanted to. They have been very nice and warm to me since the very first day and helped me integrate into korean life. They have been really understanding and allowed me to gain experience, knowledge and try new things during my internship. Thank you particularly to Olivia who was my tutor during this internship and who helped me not only with my work but with the preparation of my stay in Seoul and my integration into korean culture. They've been really open-minded as I came while I was fasting and that made me feel even more comfortable working with them. What was your funniest moment? Filming a video for applicants going to France (because I am myself) and having to scream to test the mic before each take.
Program: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
I had such a great time with my environmental internship in Seoul! Korea GapYear really makes sure to match up your internship with not only an internship relating to your job perspectives, but also takes into account the personality and culture of the workplace. At first I was nervous because I have heard a lot about how strict the rules are in Korean offices, but luckily my company was so open and welcoming, and not only the workers, but the CEO speak comfortably and in a friendly manner, so I was excited to show up to the office everyday. Overall, if you are looking for an internship provider, KGY does a great job at finding a fitting one for you!
Program: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
My internship experience in South Korea was really really great to the point that I was just enjoying every moment of my working hours together with my colleagues. KoreaGapYear has been really dedicated, consistent and gave their best to support me from the beginning until the end of my internship placement. Most especially Bella & Olivia nim. My experience was really memorable for me and I will really treasure everything what I’ve learned with them. I enjoyed my stay so much and with the help of KGY it is really one of the best journey of my life. If I will be given a chance to make another experience I would definitely go ask help from KGY. Pros Becoming a quick learner, maturity & independent Experiencing the things I’ve never tried Being brave and open minded Cons No cons super great experience!

Program: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
I am thankful that KGY for being so reliable and for always offering to help me. I felt very safe while talking to KGY. I am super grateful that I could rely on the help of KGY, as there wasn’t much time left until the internship started, I was excited and collected a lot new memories and experiences during my internship abroad.Thank you for accompanying me on my first day, I am really happy that i am able to have such a great start into the internship thanks to KGY. Thank you so much for finding me such a nice internship:)
Program: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
Definitely recommend this program to other people! kgy is so kind and full of commiment kgy offers like a lot of choices to choose from like for me when I applied like there was like an education teaching aspect, a business aspect, a non-profit organization aspect, so literally anyone wants to come to Korea for an internship definitely recommend to go through kgy You guys are the best! Usually in the U.S people are very independent they like to do things on their own, but here in Korea like everyone especially at work, everyone works together as a team like they're so cooperative. At my company other people help me like working as a team I really like that a lot and everyone has an equal role like knowing how to work in a team! This internship has been like a hundred percent good match for me I don't think I would have been able to find something like this without kgy’s help! Thank you


Program: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
My internship is going great! I am currently doing an IT internship in Seoul. Time does fly fast. I can’t believe my internship is already coming to an end but I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot of new things and I feel like my Korean language skills as well as my understanding of Korean culture have both significantly improved. Outside of my internship, I have really been enjoying my stay here in Korea. It has been a blast so far. Thank you so much Korea gap year for everything. I appreciate the time that I have spent in Korea.
