My first trip abroad
This is my first trip abroad. and it is for an internship on hospitality and tourism. I heard Mexico is a good place for such things and I'm right. I was assigned at the front desk of a hotel and the co-workers with me are nice and professional. I saw how they handled concerns, no matter how petty, with such grace and confidence. I aspire to be just like them.

Mexico is awesome
Mexico is awesome. I had my internship on research and development. Mr. Adams is very helpful and responsive to my needs. My mentor Ms. Mitchell is great to work with. Next time I'll do another internship but maybe in another continent, I'm eyeing on Asia.
