"Invaluable Experience! Morocco Internship"
Intern Abroad HQ made the application process very easy for my internship in Morocco, they provided immensely useful information such as the "Guide to Morocco" booklet. Regular emails were sent so we stayed updated on what was happening and we were more than prepared for our internship! Pick-up from the airport went smoothly. Our co-ordinator got us orientated on our first week there so we had a good idea of places to go. The other interns and I had to plan our excursions, which we did so weekly. Overall, an amazing opportunity if you would like to get some work experience and explore Morocco! During the 4-weeks, I was able to visit 4 other cities. A good balance of work and exploration.
My living arrangements were in a Riad, with around 12 people at some point. I also shared a room with 3 other people. The Riad was a lovely place to stay, showcasing traditional culture that made us feel truly Moroccan. Breakfast and dinner were provided daily, featuring traditional Moroccan dishes such as Tajine - very delicious! Finding lunch was also not an issue.
Overall, a great experience! Dallas Boyd from Intern Abroad HQ has been more than helpful and there was a great support system if we needed anything, before, during and after the internship.

"My experience with the internship was valuable"
My experience with the internship was completely remote. However, I still felt that I gained valuable experience and relevant skills in my career.

"For 4 weeks"
For 4 weeks, I worked as an English teaching assistant in a police-run after school club named 'Proyecto Colibri.' This was based in Cusco in Peru, which is a truly magical place... especially in the month of June as there were celebratory parades in the street everyday! During my internship with Intern Abroad HQ and Proyecto Peru, I had the perfect balance of work and play. For the first 2 weeks, I spent each morning in Spanish lessons that were of great value as the teacher was a native speaker, and the classes were 3 hours long, with a focus on conversation. The internship itself pushed me out of my comfort zone, as I was teaching English for the first time and had to exclusively speak Spanish to the staff. However, it was also great fun and it gave me room to be creative. For instance, I was allowed to implement new ideas in order to improve the structure of the after school club. My Spanish improved rapidly because of the full cultural immersion, and I saw many beautiful sites on the weekends, including; Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and Lake Titicaca. Each week, the staff at Intern Abroad HQ would check in with my progress, moreover, the leaders at Proyecto Peru helped me to organise my trips, as well as ensuring my comfort in the host accommodation, and even organised social events to help me meet other students/volunteers. Overall, I had the experience of a lifetime, and I was in great hands with the company; Intern Abroad HQ. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an adventure or a way to enrich their academic pursuits. It is not easy... but nothing worth doing ever is!

""Learning through experience has been…"
"Learning through experience has been one of the best things I've come away with from my internship. I have learnt a lot about how law works in the European Union, my role opening doors for me to come to Europe and work in the field of law. I was involved in a series of different tasks related to trademarks, patents, designs, registrations and intellectual property infringement. I was responsible for drafting applications submitted on behalf of my company's brands, responding to oppositions received from other brands, filing complaints for intellectual property rights violations, conducting brand and design comparisons, researching current legislation on patents and trademarks, and interacting with trademark registration offices in the European Union. Legal multiculturalism has been one of the most enriching experiences I have acquired."

"Amazing Support!"
I am currently interning at an accounting firm in New York. So far the experience has been amazing. My in-country support (Marc) has been a huge help in finding me my internship, as well as accommodation and is always one call away if I need help. InternHQ have made me feel so comfortable and have allowed me to settle into American life hassle-free. Thank you!!!!

"My experience abroad"
"This internship has solidified my plan to work in the field of psychology. It felt really empowering being able to apply my knowledge from college into real time psychological practices. During my internship I worked with children of all ages. I was there to try and keep the children entertained and happy, engaging them in discussions, board games and good behaviour. My role really benefited the organization by allowing members of staff additional support in managing their workload and not spreading themselves too thin. On a broad scale being able to speak Spanish is going to be a massive help in my future career. More importantly, learning how to work with children and young teens is incredibly beneficial. My favorite memory from the program was the first time I saw the kids I would be working with actually start to understand and listen to what I was saying while working together. When they started to listen and pay attention, it felt like I had really achieved something"

"Ireland internship"
This program was amazing. They helped me every step of the way. They would send out reminders when things were due and they gave me a lot of information about Ireland before I left.

"Intern Abroad HQ review!!!"
Becoming an intern abroad entails acquiring practical, hands-on experience at a foreign business or organization while participating in all the thrilling adventures. Thanks to Intern Abroad HQ, my experience in Cape Town, South Africa, has been immersed in the local culture filled with adventures from delicious wine tasting in Cape Town's finest vineyards, catching the sunset on a catamaran as well as going on vigorous walks alongside the coast and seeing penguins. Further, I have been immersed in the local culture by visiting local markets and tasting Cape Town's most exotic food, such as Ostrich!
In this work-hard, play-hard culture, I interned at a human rights NGO names Africa Unite whose goal is to build communities that are conflict free, enhance social cohesion and promote social and economic development. During this internship, I have been allowed to touch on all of these disciplines drafting government letters, public speaking, organizing events for 50+ people, and openly speaking about change regarding human rights, women's rights and children's. Further, I have learnt how to carefully analyze a societal problem and find the most sustainable solutions that help every community member. I have always been keen on making a change for the better, and thanks to Intern Abroad, it has been the perfect channel to do so outside of my studies!

"Literally Amazing Here"
It's literally so cool here, I love how walk/bus-able everything is, the food is amazing, the other interns here are so cool, and the location in general is just so gorgeous, I love it here! The only reason it's not a 5 is I got stuck with some kind of sucky roommates, but all of the other housemate are amazing and I love them so much !
