Intern Abroad HQ

I had a very positive experience with Intern Abroad HQ. From the beginning, the team was responsive and helpful, guiding me through the application process step by step. They made everything clear and easy to understand, especially when it came to preparing for the internship abroad. During my placement, in Bali I felt supported and well-informed. The local team and coordinators were approachable and available whenever I had questions or needed assistance. The experience itself was meaningful and helped me grow both personally and professionally. Not to forget the internship was very helpful, full of joy, and inspiring people, that I learned so much from. I’m very grateful and happy that I was part of this amazing program, would definitely recommend it to every student that wants to get out of their comfort zone but somehow scared, you won’t be feeling scared because the team will take really good care of you throughout your whole time during your internship!! Sending you love ❤️❤️

I truly wish I had spent the full 12 weeks in Ireland rather than only four. However, within that short time, I tried to fully immerse myself into the experience as much as possible. One of the things I appreciated most was that my internship was genuinely hands-on rather than simply shadowing someone the entire time. I was trusted with real responsibilities, projects, and problem-solving opportunities that allowed me to grow professionally and personally in ways I honestly did not expect. Before arriving, I had fears and uncertainties about whether I would be capable enough, experienced enough, or even if my age would affect how I fit into the program. Those fears quickly faded once I became immersed in the experience itself. This internship challenged me to adapt to unfamiliar environments, problem-solve independently, communicate within a new culture, and gain confidence in my own abilities. I was able to work on projects involving social media, marketing strategy, Google Ads troubleshooting, tourism promotion, and organizational systems while also learning more about Irish culture, history, and daily life. Personally, the experience had an even greater impact on me than I expected. Living abroad helped me become more independent, adaptable, confident, and willing to step outside of my comfort zone. It also deeply inspired me creatively as a writer and future author by exposing me to new places, stories, perspectives, and experiences. I am incredibly grateful that I took the leap and participated in the program despite my initial fears and uncertainties. It became one of the most impactful experiences of my life so far. If I were to offer one area of constructive feedback, it would be encouraging more visible student testimonials, experiences, and promotional content surrounding the program itself. Before applying, it was sometimes difficult to find detailed firsthand experiences or examples from previous participants, which initially made the program feel harder to fully research and trust from the outside looking in. Because of that, I think encouraging more students to share their internship experiences publicly through testimonials, videos, social media content, or alumni stories could greatly help future participants feel more confident and reassured during the decision-making process. Now having completed the program myself, I absolutely would recommend it to others and plan to share my own experience as well. I am genuinely grateful that I took the leap despite my initial hesitation, because it became one of the most impactful and transformative experiences of my life so far.

The GIS & Reserve Management internship at the Gondwana Game Reserve was great! I saw everything I wanted to see and learned a lot about QGIS. Learning all of the plants was unexpectedly my favorite part. It was an amazing way to experience the unique mix of flora and fauna in one of the most diverse and rare ecosystems in the world.
