A Memorable stay at an Alpaca Farm

March 20, 2026by: Isabel Tikka - Sweden

Program: Farmstay New Zealand

5

My time abroad was truly a fantastic experience that I will always remember. I had the opportunity to stay and work at an alpaca farm, which was something completely new and exciting for me. During my stay, I learned a lot about this unique animal species—their behavior, how they are cared for, and their importance to the farm. One of the most special parts of my experience was living with a host family who were incredibly welcoming and kind. They made me feel at home from the very beginning, and I am very grateful for their warmth and hospitality. Through this experience, I also gained a deeper understanding of the local culture, which made my time abroad even more meaningful. It was not only about the work, but also about connecting with people and learning new perspectives. Overall, it was an unforgettable journey, and I can definitely imagine going back again in the future. If you have the chance, I really recommend to work abroad on a farm!

Working in a tropical paradise

Program: Australia Hotel & Tourism Jobs

I spent a total of 5 months in Australia and did an internship in an Australian hostel for about 3 months. I arrived in Australia at the end of November and started working on one of the Great Barrier Reef islands a few days later. I was an intern supporting the reception team and worked 2 days a week. My main tasks included checking guests in and out, sorting car and snorkel hires and answering calls and emails as well as helping out on the bar whenever needed. I’ve never worked a reception job before but everyone was super friendly and helped me whenever I had any questions. As I was living on site, I also quickly made friends among the other staff and spent most of my free time with them. After a few weeks I decided to pick up some paid shifts in housekeeping mostly to keep myself busy but also to get a little extra money for my travels after my internship. At the very beginning of my time in Australia, I was really overwhelmed by basically everything - it was too hot, too many people and everything seemed so exhausting. However I am really glad that regardless of how I felt, I still made an effort to go out with my roommates, I still made sure to spend lots of time with all the other staff and now, a few months later, they are like my family far from home and I couldn’t be happier to have met them. Apart from the social aspect, living and working on a tropical island feels unreal as well - waking up with a beach right in front of my room or spending my days off doing hikes where I see koalas is something I could’ve never imagined back home. I would definitely recommend doing an internship like that or working abroad for some time, because it not only teaches you what having a job in a different country is like, it also is a one in a lifetime experience of meeting people from all around the world, all in the same situation as oneself.

I had a very fun time.

My journey through the Rocky Mountains has been absolutely unforgettable. Being surrounded by towering peaks, endless forests, and fresh mountain air every single day feels unreal. The landscapes are breathtaking and constantly remind me how powerful and beautiful nature can be. Working at a ski resort makes the experience even better. I spend my days in the mountains, meet people from all over the world, and enjoy a job that never feels boring. The mix of outdoor work, great teamwork, and unforgettable ski days has made this adventure one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life.

Amazing time in New Zealand!

I used Internex in 2024 as I wanted to live abroad while also gaining practical work experience. Internex provided the perfect opportunity to move to New Zealand while undertaking an internship. From my first meetings with Chris, he was extremely helpful and made the daunting decision to move abroad feel much easier and manageable. I started my internship in August 2024 with a social work organisation working with women and children. I felt fully supported by the team and began shadowing their work right away. After a couple of months, I was very excited to be given the opportunity of a job with the organisation. This meant extending my time in New Zealand, which I was very grateful for. My job involved conducting home visits with families across Auckland who needed emotional and practical support. I felt privileged to be working alongside great social workers, and I gained experience from observing their practice. This experience I was able to gain, helped me find employment in the area I was interested in when I came home in May 2025. I was also assigned a wonderful homestay by Internex. My homestay made me feel so welcome and contributed to making my time in New Zealand so great. I am grateful to Internex for providing this homestay as having a safe place to stay was very important to me. Overall, I had an amazing time living and working in New Zealand and I am so thankful for the team at Internex for making it possible! I would recommend using their services to find interesting internships that can lead to exciting opportunities, all while feeling fully supported to experience the wonderful country of New Zealand.

My time here in Canada is wonderful, I got interviewed by Internex Pacific to work in Hospitality at a Ski Resort, so I always meet new people. As a Restaurantspecialist with experience on a cruiseship, I already saw much of the world, but I can for sure say Canada is one of my favourite places also because of the people living here. Living here in Invermere at a Lakehouse is awesome, because the owner are really friendly and we have much space around the house.

Best decision

November 27, 2025by: Nuria Frei - Switzerland

Program: Australia Hotel & Tourism Jobs

Taking part in this program was honestly one of the best decisions I made for my gap year. The team helped place me in a casual Guest Service/Reception role at a hostel in Byron Bay, and the whole process was smooth and supportive from start to finish. When I first arrived, I worked casual hours on the front desk—checking guests in, answering questions, helping with bookings, and making sure everyone felt welcome. It was a great way to ease into the job, settle into the area, and get comfortable with the hostel environment. After a some time, I was offered full-time hours, which meant more responsibility and more chances to really get involved in the day-to-day running of the hostel. I handled everything from guest check-ins and maintaining common areas and general customer service. It was busy, fun, and no two days were the same. One of the best parts was getting to live on-site with the other staff. It created an instant community—everyone was friendly, supportive, and always up for a surf, a sunset walk, or a spontaneous night out. Living where you work made life so easy, and it really felt like a little family away from home. And Byron Bay… what a place to spend a gap year. On my days off, I’d go to the beach, hike up to the lighthouse, try new cafés, explore the markets, or go for a surf. The town has such a relaxed, positive energy, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with the lifestyle. If you’re thinking about doing a working holiday in Australia, I can’t recommend this program enough. Having help with the placement, the support network, and the chance to step straight into a job and community made the whole experience stress-free and incredibly rewarding. It’s the perfect way to meet new people, gain work experience, and enjoy everything Australia has to offer. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

When I arrived in New Zealand in September, I was welcomed incredibly warmly. The accommodation in Auckland was great, and there were many people who were about to start the same adventure, which made it very easy to make connections quickly. I also received a lot of help when buying my car, which I really appreciated. About a week and a half after arriving, I drove to my job with my car. I was welcomed just as warmly at the golf club. everyone showed me around, explained how everything works, and introduced me to the place where I would be living. Two days later, I had a wonderful first induction day, and ever since, everyone has been extremely kind and supportive. On my days off, I also had plenty of time to explore the surroundings and do a few activities.

Professional Internship Experience

Through this program I was able to gain valuable professional experience in working within the non-profit sector. Internex was able to pair me with an internship experience that was truly worthwhile and fulfilling. They also provided excellent support in navigating New Zealand and especially Auckland, where my internship was placed. Throughout the experience Internex was super supportive and available for any questions or concerns that may arise during that time and even before I arrived to make sure that the transition would be successful. Because of their support I was able to experience and explore the amazing country of New Zealand while also creating professional growth.

Professional Internship Abroad

Living in New Zealand has been a deeply rewarding experience; one that offered not just professional development, but a true sense of connection. Internex placed me at a government-affiliated training institution where I contributed to projects in digital learning and assessment design. Outside of work, I chose a homestay with a kind and welcoming couple who made me feel like part of the family. Their generosity and warmth created a home away from home and gave me a deeper appreciation for Kiwi hospitality. Renting a car made weekend adventures easy, and the balance between professional engagement and personal exploration was just right. This experience reminded me how energising it is to live in a new environment, and how much growth comes from feeling both challenged and cared for.

WIL - Best choice for students from abroad

August 06, 2025by: Alexander Hunger - Germany

The Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) has been one of the most valuable components of my academic journey to date, primarily due to the university’s intensive support and structured guidance throughout the placement process. This framework not only enabled me to establish meaningful connections with members of the New Zealand workforce and to experience a welcoming and supportive workplace culture, but it also consistently provided important stimuli for self-reflection. As a result, I have gained not only professional and intercultural competencies, but also valuable insights into my academic and career aspirations. These include a growing interest in undertaking further placements as well as the decision to pursue specific courses within my degree programme.

I started into my farmstay with no expectations really and I found everything I was ever hoping to find. Many people wish they knew they where in 'their good old days' when they happened and not afterwards and I can say, I knew while I was living them. The past 9 months in New Zealand were the best time I ever had in my life. And without Internex they wouldn't have happend. So thank you to the team of Internex. You did such an amazing job with everything.

My Unforgettable experience in the Canadian Mountains

During my gap year, I had the incredible opportunity to work abroad in the Canadian mountains. Surrounded by amazing landscapes I gained hands-on experience in a dynamic environment. Whether assisting guests at a ski resort or living in the mountains, I developed valuable skills in teamwork, adaptability, and communication. The process for applying for an internship was made really easy as I was offered all the help I needed. This experience helped me grow personally but also professionally and I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about doing an internship abroad.

In October 2023 I did an internship in New Zealand to improve my English skills and to get to know a new company in a different industry. Therefore, this program helped me to find the best company. I'm glad I traveled with Internex. The program saved me from having to find a hostel and an internship on my own. I also met a lot of other people who also traveled with Internex, so I was able to make new friends.. This programm also organized some common events to talk together and to get to know each other better. Overall, it has been a great experience working with Internex!

Being the first time I’d gone overseas on my own I was nervous and not sure where to start. I had multiple communications with Internex via online calls and emails, in which they provided all information I needed and reassured me on the uncertainties I had. As someone who loves the outdoors, Internex found the perfect job for me as a lifeguard at a beautiful location in the South Island of New Zealand. I’ve made great friends since being here and been able to do loads of travelling around the South Island. Even since arriving they have assisted me with bank accounts etc and I cannot fault the communication one bit. I would not hesitate to recommend Internex to friends and family as well as anyone looking to spend time abroad. With work and accommodation sorted and help with visas, bank accounts, insurance etc. it really has been a completely stress free, exciting experience.

Even before graduating High-School in the summer of 2022 I knew I wanted to spend the Winter working in Canada. I thoroughly searched the internet and came across a german organisation that is partnering with Internex Pacific. I started planning with Internex and before I knew, I was deep inside the Rocky Mountains serving people drinks and Food while always being able to watch people Ski and also beig able to Ski whenever I am available. The communication with Internex was really easy and always helpful whenever I had questions. Internex hepled me to get settled with a job and accomodation. Through this accomodation and because we were able to contact people who chose Internex as well I was able to find a girl who was going to the same resort and who was catching the same flights as me. Having Roommates also helped getting in touch with people, so I am really greatful I got set up with accomodation as well. Working in such a beautiful place was a blessing and I am thankful for the easy communication Internex offered. I would choose to travel with Internex again!

Back in 2022, I was about to be done with Uni and wanted to find an internship oversees to gain first work experiences and travel while working. I found a German organization who transferred me to Internex. I had a first skype interview to get to know the organization and see about my options in my working field. I studied life science technologies and wanted to work in a cosmetics/detergent/cleaning company to work in the lab. Chris (Director of Internex) was super great and told me about all my possibilities and where I could stay. I felt really good about choosing Internex after. Then he found a fitting company for me and organized a skype meeting to see if we were a great fit. Which we were indeed. After I signed my internship contract Chris found me a fitting home stay. I chose a home stay because I wanted to see the Kiwi culture and get to know some people. There was also the option to stay in a single room at a hostel in the central. My home stay was a perfect match and I had a really lovely time staying at their house. They even took me on little trips along the area. The organization offered me help sending me insurance websites and booked a transfer to my home stay. They also help ypu open a NZ bank account, but I did not need that. Once I got to New Zealand, we also had a welcome seminar to learn about the culture, how to find our ways here and get to know different people. Before getting to NZ I was really scared to not find any friends, but due to the welcome seminar I found lots of new contacts. I went on several trips with them which was really nice! The company I did my internship at was a perfect match. All of the staff were super friendly, and I'll definitely miss working there. I worked in the lab on new formulations, formulation changes and everything regarding the research and development. It was definitely exactly what I hoped my internship to be! Overall, I had an amazing experience here and I am happy that I chose Internex as organization to come over here! I would definitely recommend them to other people wanting to do an internship.

My time here in Canada started in mid-October 2022 :) But I was glad that I already knew at that point that I was going to Banff and that I could work at Sunshine Village in the rentals. So I was able to take care of where my year abroad was going from home, which made everything much easier I love skiing and at that point I really wanted to improve my English skills, so what could be better than a stay abroad in the Rockies, where I have skiing as a hobby and can still work in rentals at the same time. ? In addition, the nature here in Banff is incredibly beautiful and definitely recommended. In my free time I love of course skiing, ice skating in lake Louise or just walking in the beautiful nature. Banff also offers many wonderful restaurants and pubs where you can meet up with friends in the evening. I'm glad I chose internex and can have such a great time in Banff as a result.

When I graduated college in Belgium in June 2022 I knew that I wanted to go out and explore more. Since I had done my internship in Vancouver from February - June 2022 (also with Internex) I already had had a small taste of the Canadian life and I really enjoyed it. That's why I decided to come back on a working holiday visa, but I had no clue where I wanted to work. The only thing that I knew for sure was that I wanted to live close to Vancouver to keep in touch with my old friends. After reconnecting with Internex, they suggested me I could do a job in a ski-resort. I had zero experience in skiing or boarding so I was a bit sceptical at first, but I decided to just go for it. There were multiple resorts I could choose, but there was one resort in particular that immediately caught my attention. It was a smaller resort, close to Vancouver and it has been one of the best decisions I ever made in my life! I worked as a lift operator and had the chance to work with amazing people in an amazing environment and I could ski multiple days a week. I am really glad I made this decision and would recommend everyone to do the same!

Me and my girlfriend wanted to work and travel after graduating highschool and decided to contact InternX for some advice. At first we wanted to work in New Zealand, but because we do not have a drivings license our coordinator adviced us with a wide amount of options. Out of those alternatives we chose an island near The Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia. We came all the way from Spain and Sweden and thanks to the organisation everything went very well and smooth. As soon as we arrived we quickly felt included in the big island family! We have now been working on a resort here for nearly four months and we are so greatful for all the experiences and the people we met. We have been able to explore the island on 4WD and camp with new friends from all over the world. We are very thankfull for this life experiendce and all the help from our coordinator (very good communication throughout the process and very understanding). We would recommend this 110%!

Hi, I finished school in the summer and didn't want to rush into University. I wanted to live my life first and wanted to experience another country and its culture, so I decided to do a gap year. Work and travel seemed to be a good fit. After research, I decided to not plan this on my own, because there was a lot to consider, so I went with Internex Pacific. They help me a lot with the application for my visa, and helped me to find a job and an apartment. As I have qualified myself for a job and accommodation with roommates, my journey started. I was looking forward to begin a new chapter of my life and settled in quickly. Through Internex, I found a job in a ski resort in BC. I couldn´t imagine a better job for the season, especially because I can basically ski whenever i want to. After my first day of work, I´ve met a lot of lovely people, who have the same mindset to just have a good time here. My roommates who are also Germans helped me settle in, as our daily life reminds me of home. Peeks of doing Work and travel with Internex is, that you always have a person to contact, if u are not feeling well or if there are any problems. I would choose to travel with Internex again.

I’m from Germany and I stayed in Auckland for three months for an internship. I was hoping to get some work experience and get an insight into marketing. I really enjoyed working in my internship company! The people of my company where super nice and welcoming and immediately made me feel like a part of the team. The work environment and atmosphere was great and the whole team was fun to work with and I just had a really good time with them in general. Regarding my actual work in the company I feel like I did a little bit of everything.I worked on super interesting projects and helped out with a lot of different stuff that came up. Of course there was also some stuff that was not as interesting and just needed to be done but they always tried to make it as interesting as possible. I think I learned a lot during the time and got great insights into different aspects of the company. My internship was also located pretty close to my homestay! My homestay was amazing as well. My host was super nice and I had the best time staying with her. She really made me feel at home and helped with a lot of stuff that came up. It was a super fun time and I’m super thankful to her. I could always talk to her and she was really caring. The house was really nice and I was super happy with my room and the food was amazing! Overall it was a great experience and I had the best time. Internex welcomed me in Auckland with a welcome event which included a lot of helpful information and tips as well as a barbecue later. Through this event I met lots of people which was great to make some friends. I had the best time in Auckland and I’m really thankful for the amazing organization by Internex !

After graduating then working & living in London for 3 years, I knew that I needed to take a break and do something completely new. After exploring my options, I found that getting a visa for Canada would be the best idea, however, I had no idea where to start! So I started to look for help and came across Internex via GoAbroad. Chris was extremely helpful and guided us through the process, helping myself & my boyfriend secure a job together at a ski resort in the Rocky Mountains within weeks - we we're even able to secure staff accommodation, which has been great, and enabled us to make new friends instantly. The transition and journey from the UK to Canada was easier than I had expected, and I can attribute that to the help of Chris from Internex. After being here for nearly 2 months, I feel completely at home! Canada and the resort is more beautiful than I could imagine, and being able to learn to ski on my days off is definitely a new experience. I would recommend this to everyone.

My name is Gracyn, and I interned at a technology company in Auckland, New Zealand during Spring 2022. I am originally from the United States, and I am a fourth year computer science major. The program I went on is through The Education Abroad Program (TEAN), and I did my internship for credit as well as take a couple more university courses at AUT. Before arriving in New Zealand, I had talked with Chris from INTERNeX over the phone to discuss what I was looking for in an internship abroad. Then once I arrived, he provided me the opportunity to meet with a potential employer for an interview. Since I had to take public transport from Auckland CBD, Chris was helpful in giving me advice for how I should get there, as I was still new to the area. He even went and picked me up from the train station to drive the rest of the way to the company for my interview, which was great to help understand how to get there for the first time and not accidentally get lost. It turned out that I really loved the company, and after receiving a job offer from them, I accepted. I did not need to meet any other companies, which was good as I wanted to start as soon as possible given that I only had a few months in New Zealand. My time at my internship was fun and I got to learn a new programming language as well as meet some incredible people. I would recommend INTERNeX to anyone considering interning abroad, as they take the time to understand what you want out of the experience and support you throughout the interview process.

My internship experience did not go the way I had envisaged it to be …. And it couldn't have turned out any better! Unfortunately, the Pandemic had began right before my travel to New Zealand. I decided to risk it and go anyway. It was madatory at the time to go into quarantine for two weeks after my arrial in NZ. Because my original host family did not want the risk of catching the virus and me staying with them, Internex had to find me a new family. They were under big time pressure as I was due to arrive the next day. I wasn't sure what was going to happen as I had no idea where I was goind to stay. But they managed to find me a wonderful host family and I had the best time with them for the whole of my stay. After quarantining for two weeks the next challenge came along. I wasn’t able to start my internship, as by that time the virus had spread and we all had to go into a seven week lockdown. After that I was finally able to visit the school in person, where I did the internship. I absolutely loved it. Due to Internex I never once felt uncomfortable or scared that I wasn’t able to travel or get to experience my gap year/internship in a normal way. Looking back at my time during the internship, I have to say it was one of the most exciting and also scary things I have done. All of the ups and downs of not knowing when the Lockdown was going to end and where I would be, was so worth it. Even though it was not always certain what the next thing was going to be, I had the best time and would do it all over again. My gap year was so far the most exciting thing I have done. I would DEFINITELY recommend this internship to other people who want to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

It was a delight to be able to work with such hospitable people and to find friends for life. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone willing to experience something new and challenging in life. This experience has broadened my horizons.

Even work itself was awesome, great environment and I had the best coworkers. At the moment I am still travelling Canada and the States with my new friends I met in lake Louise. I regret nothing, it was definitely the best decision to take a gap year and go to Canada

A great gap year!!

My Name is Simon Florack. I’m 20 years old from Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, Germany. Last Summer (NZ Winter) I graduated from High School and thought about doing a gap year before studying at university to brush up my English, to meet new people and to immerse into a different culture. I wanted to see something new exciting of this world. While doing my research about possible destinations I stumbled over a German agency, which convinced me to go to NZ and put me in touch with INTERNeX World. After having a professional satisfying interview with Chris, in which we spoke about necessary documents to get to NZ, about possible internships as well as the living situation, I felt a certain confirmation to reside in NZ and was determined to go there. When I arrived in NZ, it was INTERNEX World, which suggested a short visit at a non-native English school to get faster into the language. It turned out to be absolutely the right decision, because short after NZ went into a total Lockdown due to COVID-19, I could at least still be in touch with people in online classes and therefore never felt lonely. In September I started my Chemical Engineering / Science internship in Auckland. Thankfully this company was an essential business making me an essential worker and therefore eligible to work during Lockdown. It was a family-owned business, which gave me a very warm welcome and, in the end, encouraged me to study Chemistry. The positive experience of my first internship led to the consideration of another internship organised by INTERNeX World. I enquired Chris to place me somewhere in another business, which differs from Chemistry to get a broader view of work and life in NZ. We had several conversations about possible alternatives. However, Chris mentioned that during the summer, business run low on tasks and hence there was no need for volunteers. So, we came up with the idea to spend my summer with children in a youth education summer holiday camp in Auckland starting in January. Together with the camp we went on exciting trips throughout Auckland and did a lot of activities. It was definitely the right internship at this point, because not only I had a lot of fun with the children, but also the staff members were native NZ at the same age as mine. So, I easily and effortlessly made new friends and we are still in touch. In February I had the desire to go on trip through the stunning beautiful landscape of NZ (North and South Island). I asked Chris to help me finding a suitable car for my journey and he managed to negotiate a reasonable priced car for me from a local company. While I was on my way through the countryside of NZ, Chris eagerly worked on an additional superb internship for me. Again, I requested something different from the first and second internship, this time located on the South Island. He offered me an internship in a regional football association in Christchurch working in the social media marketing department. It suits me very well because I’m really into football. The colleagues and the work were great and I had a fantastic time in Christchurch. All in all, I made superb and delightful experiences with INTERNeX World. They managed to place me into three different internships, and I don’t regret any of them. I felt genuinely well treated on a professional basis. They are reliable, have an open ear for any demands, are supportive and strive to find the perfect internship for you. Because of the exceptional experiences I had in this country so far, I can highly recommend INTERNeX World to anyone, who pursuits to work in NZ. It was a pleasure to work with Chris and the team behind him and I’m glad to have chosen a cooperation with them. In the meantime, I have successfully enrolled at the university of canterbury and will study Chemistry within a few months in NZ.

Great first time in Canada

Hi there, I have been to Panorama Mountain Resort in the beautiful British Columbia. I spent one winter season here and overall it was a good time and I made some great memories. The Location is pretty sick to spend a Winter in Canada and I bet it is the same during the summer. Thanks to the free ski pass I was able to improve my skiing skills a lot and it is just amazing to have the time and opportunity to explore the whole resort throughout the season. Internex helped me a lot to get the Job and to have a safe and organized entry into Canada, without it I would have been completely lost at the first time. So thank you for the support!

Great start to my Canadian adventure!

It was a great decision to come out to Canada and start working right away. That way, I was able to get myself situated in a new country and right away met a lot of new people. Work here is great, we were welcomed to the resort and now have found our way into the new systems. And now I just started to ski and can't wait to get out as much as possible to improve and eventually get up to Summit. That surely is the goal! Preparing for my time abroad was really good, I felt really well prepared and guided through the visa application process and getting ready to come out. I can't wait to see what else this year has in store and see what I will experience!

Chris from Internex has been able to help me and support me during the whole visa application process. I appreciate the fact that Internex allowed me to apply even if I have an Italian passport, while most of the agencies only accepted applicants from Commonwealth member countries. Moreover, Internex was a lot cheaper than the other agencies I enquired about, but I got the exact same results. Due to covid, this year the only way to get an invitation to apply for a Canadian work permit was to submit a valid offer of employment in advance to the government. Thanks to Chris I had 2 successful interviews and found the perfect job at a ski resort in Banff, where I am living now. Living and working on the top of a mountain at a ski resort is amazing, it's something I would suggest trying at least once in your life. I am literally living a dream. The visa process went smooth, and Chris was always answering my emails very quickly, addressing any concerns and doubts, and once I got to Canada I didn't have any problems. He was always present to tell me what I had to do and where I had to go to get my paperwork done. Honestly, at the beginning I wasn't sure whether to trust Internex or not, but after I received some positive feedback from people who already had an international experience through them I decided to apply, and now I am so happy about it. I would totally recommend the agency. I think I would have never made it here without them.

Staying and working here in the mountains of British Columbia, staying and staff accommodation and working 5 days a week in the General Store of the resort, which is awesome way to meet and communicate with guests and fellow staff members, on the free time in your weekend, you can go explore the area as far as you can go in the free time you got, or relax at home if you want to save some money

Such an amazing experience

I'm currently working at a resort in the Rockies and I can't rate this experience highly enough! Chris from Internex was an amazing asset in setting this all up and made the process a breeze. Even with all my questions surrounding COVID and the always-changing status that surrounded it, the team made everything run so seamlessly and it made my life so much easier. Would organise a trip with this team again in a heartbeat!

Best decision Ive done!

With the help of InterneX, I got to spend 4 amazing months working at a great skiresort in the rockies, learning to snowboard and hiking in my freetime. With covid restrictions in place and clear rules set up they made it possible to safely enjoy the season despite all the cirqumstances. I would recommend anyone in need of assistance with finding a job abroad to go through InterneX. - Jonatan
