A Life Changing Experience - Interning Abroad

Travellers Worldwide did an excellent job of helping me to decide which country would be best to work in, of setting me up with a suitable company, and of ensuring that I settled comfortably in to a new country. Upon arriving in New Zealand, Travellers Worldwide arranged for me to be picked up at the airport and guided to an orientation session where I received all the pertinent information about my surroundings and was given a sim card for my cell phone. My accommodation was based in an apartment located directly in the city center - a highly convenient location to bus stops and within close proximity to my work placement. This apartment provided me with all the necessities, including my own bedroom and bathroom with a shared kitchen and dining area.
Beginning my internship was a breeze as I was given a ride to work by a Travellers Worldwide associate on my first day and I was given a semi-formal introduction to my employers.
Working with my interior design internship company was an amazing and fun learning experience. My role in the company gave me the privilege to work with designer products and to shadow highly experienced interior designers. Projects were constantly ongoing and I feel that I had a truly enriching experience through stepping in to many different architectural styles of homes and working with a wide range of spaces. My experience working there has inspired me to pursue a design job relating to the field of residential design.
I would definitely recommend this internship program to anyone. Travellers Worldwide fully prepared me with all the information I needed to go on my first independent travelling abroad experience. It was through their thorough support that I had a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience.
New Zealand is an incredibly beautiful and overall lovely country and I am so happy that I chose to do my internship there. I received a warm welcoming from all of the locals I met and developed many strong friendships that I will forever value. New Zealand is also an exceptionally beautiful destination to experience nature and engage in adventurous outdoor activities (i.e. hiking, skydiving, and sailing). For all the moments that I was not working, I was able to engage in New Zealand's nature and culture through participating in various tours.
Overall, with the help of Travellers Worldwide, my experience abroad was a life-changing experience - allowing me to gain useful professional skills, a greater sense of independence, and many wonderful friendships. Now, I cannot wait to go back!

About Travellers Worldwide

Travellers Worldwide has over 16 years of experience in the international volunteer and work market. Travellers Worldwide was established in 1994 by Phil and Jennifer Perkes to enable people from all over the world to be able to experience the joys of living and working in foreign countries. Having travelled extensively and been lucky enough to work in various countries, they believed that everyone should have the opportunity to meet and live with different races and ethnic groups, and to gain experiences and memories which, like their own, would stay with them for the rest of their lives. By setting up Travellers, they have done that.

Travellers is a founder member of the Year Out Group, and is widely recognized as a leader in providing worthwhile voluntary placements overseas. We send volunteers FROM all over the world, TO all over the world! We work with over 300 projects around the world, working in predominantly developing countries. We provide projects with volunteers, funding and assistance, supporting the project in fulfilling both its short-term needs (such as the day-to-day running), right through to helping the project to achieve its wider goals over the long-term.

Travellers volunteers fulfil a wide variety of roles, including that of teacher, coach, carer, nurse, researcher, builder and conservationist, and so on. Volunteers are given round the clock support, guidance, and instruction, enabling them to achieve their goals and to experience, with confidence, what it means to make a valued and lasting contribution to the projects and communities in which they work.

Internships abroad with Travellers gives students the opportunity to work gain professional experience overseas while also taking part in meaningful volunteer projects. Travellers also partners with universities overseas to provide the best possible internship experience abroad. Visit the Travellers website for more information!
