Couldn't have asked for a better summer!

I had a wonderful time all eight weeks exploring the city, gaining valuable work experience, and getting to know awesome people! We had awesome living conditions only a short walk away from work and in the center of the city. The location was lively but incredibly safe. Loved every minute of this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
