Overall, I would say I had a great time, largely because I met some incredible people and Cape Town is truly a beautiful place to be. That said, the internship itself was not without it's challenges often involving feelings of uncertainty. Still, colleagues and team were friendly, and I can confidently say I’ve taken away many valuable personal lessons from the experience.
