Amazing Experience

This was a fantastic experience in Madrid. The intern group was a great organization to pick as my host. They ensured I was comfortable and listened to me whenever I addressed any issue. Upon coming here, I thought that my main purpose was my internship, however it's everything. It is about experiencing the culture—especially the cuisine, architecture, and nightlife—which Spain has in abundance, and meeting the people (who are incredibly nice, even to non-fluent Spanish speakers like myself) lol. Also, living and embracing another way of life was very eye-opening and informative. All of this, combined with the company I worked for, made up my internship experience in Madrid, and it was incredible. Finally, Lalita and Nikte are amazing women, and you couldn't be in better hands as you embark on this journey.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come with an open mind and let the experience shape you in unfamiliar ways. Also, remember that you are very much in charge of how much you want to experience during this trip. Yes, your coordinators will organize activities for you, but we are all unique individuals with our interests and definitions of fun. So, do your research and explore Madrid in ways that you love (and don’t be afraid to explore on your own). For example, I visited flea markets because of my love for vintage jewelry and explored various perfumeries around Madrid. These were some of the things I loved and made sure to experience. You are the author of this journey, so make sure to write a beautiful story!
Pros
  • Amazing Cuisine
  • Wonderful Nightlife and Historical Sites
  • it is WALKABLE
Cons
  • it is hot
  • You might get sick just because of a change in environment, so budget for that!

Life changing experience!

I had an unforgettable time during my 8 weeks in Madrid. From meeting other amazing interns to working at a firm that met my professional goals, I was able to gain new professional and personal skills that I will carry to the next stage of my life. There is so much to do in Madrid, filled with culture and amazing food. Lalita and Nikte were so helpful in ensuring we had a great time here with the events. It does get really hot in the summer but the experience is so worth it. Recommend traveling to other cities in Spain while you’re here!

  • Walkable
  • Culture

Amazing experience in Madrid

The internship was truly a one of a kind experience, In the 6 Weeks I was there I grew as a person worker and much more due to the cultural immersion and work experience I was luck enough to participate in. The Madrid intern group was there every step of the way and very helpful throughout the whole process.

Madrid is a beautiful city with tons of things to do no matter what your interests are, the food is amazing the public transportation is very accessible and easy to navigate.

Overall I had an amazing time made several great connections and would recommend this experience to anyone thinking of participating in an internship abroad

8 week program in Madrid

I had such an amazing experience in Madrid this summer. I loved the company I was working for and I learned so much about my field, both in general and in an international context. It was super easy to make friends with other interns. The social events set up by TIG gave us the opportunity to not only explore the city and adjacent towns, but also build a community with other interns. I could not have been more satisfied with my experience and I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in international travel.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
There were definitely moments where the language gap was frustrating, especially in moments where I needed to understand what was going on around me. However because of the friendships I made with fellow interns, it was easier to overcome
Pros
  • Learned the language
  • Developed professionally
  • Enjoyed the city as a local
Cons
  • Unpaid work
  • Expensive
  • Lonesome at times

Amazing experience, highly recommend!

The experience itself was amazing - Madrid is an incredible city, especially for younger people.

First and foremost, the team at TIG is splendid. Extremely kind and supportive. As an intern, I felt like I barely took care of any logistics, as everything was taken care of for me, and any issues that I faced I was supported throughout. Big thank you to Lalita for all her help while I was here, when I needed anything. And also a big thank you to Nikte, event coordinator, who planned fun and unique events and was also there to listen if we needed any help. Truly enjoyed meeting both of them!

Transport system is great and extremely cheap compared to other cities (8 euros for a month of bus/metro pass). So much culture, art, food, dance, etc. In a city like this you really have to immerse yourself to live the best experience. So if you are someone that loves culture and exploring, you will love Madrid. Everything is so close if you live in the center, max 15 minute walk to almost everything.

Only feedback I would give to future interns is actually just a disclaimer - the summer here is very hot (but manageable, as it is dry warmth), and travelling outside of Madrid is at its peak in terms of how expensive it gets to travel in Europe!

Again, I would highly recommend and will look back at this experience with a sense of gratitude, not only for the professional skills and insights I gained but also for the amazing time I had in Madrid, meeting great people, learning new things, and growing personally.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
SO MUCH JÁMON!!
Pros
  • Sunny
  • Walkable city
  • Cheap
Cons
  • Heat
  • Expansive to travel
  • Work location quite far from accom

Questions & Answers

Hi Verica! Whether these internships are paid or not is down to each specific placement company! However, their international internships do tend to be unpaid.

Hiya, Living situation wasn't bad at all, your usually with other interns. When I first got there I was a bit surprised at the flat as I thought it was going to be more like a uni halls or something, but the decor is quite dark and relatively small. Also had an oven that you had to light yourself which was an experience! Haha. But you get used to it really quickly and I loved my flat by the end. I...

I was in Madrid for two months and had prepared about €1600. I did budget and because I was very careful with money at the start I had quite a bit left over towards the end. It also depends on how much you eat out because that does get quite expensive.
