Amazing time in Madrid!

I had an incredible time during my internship in Madrid! From start to finish, it was a rewarding and fun experience. The work itself was engaging, and I had the chance to learn so much while contributing to meaningful projects. What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the amazing people I met along the way.

The support I received from Lalita and Nik was nothing short of amazing. They were always there to guide me, offer advice, and provide encouragement whenever I needed it. Their mentorship and genuine care made a huge difference in my experience, and I felt incredibly supported throughout the entire internship.

The team overall was welcoming and friendly, creating a fantastic environment for growth and collaboration. Whether we were working together on projects or exploring the city in our free time, I always felt like part of a great community.

Madrid itself was a highlight – full of rich culture, history, and vibrant energy. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the city, both professionally and personally.

Overall, this internship was not only a great career opportunity but also a memorable personal journey. I'm grateful for the chance to work with such wonderful people, and to experience Madrid in such a meaningful way. I highly recommend this internship to anyone looking for both professional growth and unforgettable experiences!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Definitely the calamari sandwich, a staple of Madrid cuisine!
Pros
  • Meeting so many amazing people
  • Living so centrally in Spain’s vibrant capital
  • Gaining relevant industry experience whilst conducting it all in Spainish!

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!

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!

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.
