An insightful experience

First, I would like to start with verifying that Adelante is a legit agency, and I will do so because I was worried at the beginning that these opportunities were a fraud. But they weren't!! I'll leave this info just in case anyone else has the same doubts that I had. I took an internship on social work in Chile, and it turned out to be one magical experience after the other. I travelled to San Pedro de Atacama, Santiago, La Serena, huilo huilo, and Puerto Varas, and I can tell you that all of them are so beautiful that they must be on everyone's bucket list. My work environment was awesome, and my coworkers made feel welcomed all the time. Just watch out the chilenismos because some are very difficult to understand. Jokes aside, I am very glad I had the chance to take this opportunity because it was amazing and insightful. My internship allowed me to refine my social skills, but most importantly, I also learned a lot of things about myself. Things that I thought I was not going to be able to do, I did them anyway. I travelled around Chile almost very weekend as I mentioned, and for me, that had a huge impact because it was the first time I had to plan all the trip, search for hotels, and make the reservations by my own. Those experiences may seem trivial, but you will later see that you can apply every little thing you learn even in your work environment, as it happened to me. If you are planning to take an internship abroad, take it. You can only gain and learn more about the history of a country, its culture, and its people.
