Review on Tokyo 10 week program

Im only in week 3 of my 10 week program and I’ve already experienced more than I had in all of my life. So far learning the culture and being immersed in such a different environment has really opened up my views of career opportunities and traveling possibilities. Beyond has done an amazing job at solving any problems I may have and they plan a variety of fun activities so that the internship itself isn’t too overwhelming. The balance between provided activities and internship work is a nice way to feel proactive yet at the same time as if you’re on vacation. The fact that programs like this exist make starting your life a very fun and exciting way easier. If I could, I’d take more trips with Beyond.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Public transport. For never had been on a train but once before this trip, learning to rely on the metro as transportation for pretty much everything started off as very confusing and difficult to navigate, but after not too long, you memorize signs to look for and how each station works.
Pros
  • Fun activities
  • A lot of freedoms
  • Safe environments
Cons
  • No help with learning metro
  • Difficulty with communication beforehand
  • Gave me very few company internship options

Exciting opportunity

If you’ve been looking to step out of your comfort zone and try something new, an internship through beyond academy is definitely a great option. It allows you to explore a unique place you’ve never seen before as well as gain valuable experience for your career. It’s a really unique blend of life experience and professional experience, wrapped into one package. Adding to that, all of the events organised by the beyond academy event coordinators help ensure you always have something to do. Finally, beyond academy helps you to build a network and meet friends for life

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
It’s a pretty easy question to answer, as I would choose to visit one of the many other cities beyond academy has to offer
Pros
  • Discover new places
  • Good for resume
  • Gain valuable experience
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Group accommodation isn’t for everyone

I love Japan

I had the most incredible 2 months in Japan, it exceeded all my expectations and really started to feel like home. My internship in the charity industry was everything I hoped for, my manager pushed me to be my best self and I’m so grateful for his support throughout my time here.
Stephanie and Fristy were amazing community coordinators and always made sure we were having a great time and having real Japanese experiences. I really loved the events that were organised for us.
The only negative is it was quite stressful getting my internship. My job was only sorted quite close to when I was meant to be flying out. However, as soon as it was confirmed it was only excitement from there.
I already cant wait to return to Japan!

Pros
  • Japanese food
  • Social activities
  • Friendships
Cons
  • Getting a job was very last minute

Amazing Experience in Tokyo

My two months in Beyond Academy's programme in Tokyo was one of the best times in my life. I got to go explore and hang out in many different places in Tokyo, try out different foods, take part in many different events, and meet and have new friends thanks to Beyond Academy. It also allowed me to start my career strongly through the internship that they helped find for me, which was very engaging and fun. I would like to thank every single person (especially Stephanie and Fristy - the community cordinators) who works for Beyond Academy for this amazing unforgettable experience. I'd greatly recommend taking this program if you haven't already!

Amazing experience!

This was the most amazing two months of my life! I met so many interesting people, went to the most beautiful places and gained very valuable work experience though Beyond Academy's internship program. My internship company wanted to extend the internship even before and after the two months I was in Japan and I am still currently working for them. The coordinators were amazing and we became friends during my stay. I will continue this friendship past the Beyond Academy. I'm already planning my next stay in Japan. I have to come back! Also special thanks to Beyond Academy's finance side for working with my budget and having that flexibility so that I could attend this program. It was worth the money, and beyond.

Pros
  • Getting to travel
  • Gaining work experience
  • The people
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Casual events weren't paid for
  • There weren't any networking events that were listed in the program website

A Journey I Will Always Remember

Everything went very smoothly and without complications. I really enjoyed having the weekly activities planned by Beyond Academy where Stephanie and Fristy let us explore Japanese culture and food. They did a great job by showing us around Tokyo and always being there for us. The internship wasn't in the field I was looking for but it was a great experience nevertheless. The whole journey was a great adventure and I am really happy to have done it with Beyond Academy. I would have stayed for longer if I could but I am always going to remember it.

Pros
  • Everything is organised and planned.
  • Cultural insights and social activities.
  • Easy communication
Cons
  • Accommodation is low-cost equipped.
  • Internship may not be in the field you were looking for.

Tokyo Program Review

Although my program was a bit different than anticipated, I would not change it for the world. I always felt supported by my team, Imran, Anna, and even the Beyond community in other countries as a whole. The support I felt was just amazing. Feedback was taken well, events were always fun and unique, and I felt like the program was really customized to the city we were in. I learned a lot professionally and socially, and picked up some life skills and inspiration from other travelers along the way.

Pros
  • Always new and exciting things to do and see.
  • The program forced me in a good way to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people.
