Internship in Spain by Asia Internship Program

The thing that bothers me with time is that it really does fly when you are having fun. That is exactly what happened to me when I did an internship in Spain recently.
I did a 4 month internship in Valencia with a focus on entrepreneurship. I have always thought of creating my own company so this is what motivated me to pursue this internship. I worked at this great startup company and got great insights as to how a business operates. I really felt like this was the type of experience I needed before wanting to start my own business because now I know all it takes and definitely feel like this experience has prepared me for it.

Throughout my 4 month internship I also got to attend various networking events, which was great considering how important networking is in the modern age. I’ve met some great people and managed to even build essential relationships for my own business idea. So thank you AIP for setting up these events, these were great!

If you’re looking for the best internship of your life then look no further than AIP! They have been so wonderful in making this opportunity happen and I can’t recommend it enough. I had a great time in Spain and my advice for anyone would be to really enjoy and learn as much as you can! It will be over before you know it!

Before anything, let me tell you about my first week. I had to ask the AIP staff to change my accommodation because I couldn’t stand the hood I was in. I mean accommodation was heaven sent, it was relatively close to the public transport and there was a nice local grocery store and neighbors were nice but they littered. I tried my best to not think about them but I just couldn’t couldn’t bear the sight of them. Please don’t come at me in the replies.

So they did that for me. I was moved to a new location. This time it was slightly further than my previous accommodation but I was satisfied with how the room and the surrounding areas looked. The internship itself was an awesome experience. In the marketing department of where I was at, people were so open to my suggestions and ideas. Maybe it was the demographics of the people I was collaborating with, we all got along very well and I was so relieved. What made me fall in love with this is the feeling I get when I see my ideas come to life. It was just a wholesome feeling for me. The office environment was so pristine too so that’s a big plus.

I recommend using AIP service. They were fast to respond to me and the staff were understanding! I am glad that they made my internship experience so special. PS now my family wants to go to Spain haha.

Last summer I finally managed to travel to Europe for the first time and I had a blast!

Warm weather, sunshine and great food, like what more could I have asked for?

I did an internship in architecture as a requirement for my course and it was honestly the best experience I’ve had. I’ve done other architectural internships in my own country but none of my previous experiences gave me the hands-on experience I managed to get at my host company in Spain!

My internship really allowed me to use all the learnings from my course and apply it to the real world. This really made me want to develop my career further in architecture.

The only thing I wish is that it was a little longer because the 3 months flew by! I made some lifelong friends and have built a great network here.

Special shoutout to AIP and my work colleagues for making my time in Spain absolutely wonderful!

¡Muchas gracias España!

I visited Spain when I was younger but I was too young that I barely remembered it. I only remember parts from what I see in my family photo albums. That’s why when I came across AIP through an Instagram ad, I was intrigued. I knew I had to apply and I am so glad that I did!.

I applied to do an internship in hospitality and tourism because it’s an area I want to develop my career further in and it went fantastic! From the whole application process to touching down in Madrid, it could not have gone any easier!

I managed to work at this fine hotel in downtown Madrid that was just wonderful. I really felt immersed in the local culture. I’ve managed to meet people from all over the world and improved my Spanish too in the process!

Throughout my 4 months here I’ve also managed to travel all across the country from Barcelona to Valencia with the friends that I’ve met here. Don’t get me started on the cuisine because it was heaven and came back home a little heavier than I would have liked.

The only small issue I had was that my metro pass stopped working early on in my internship. It was a bit of a hassle finding the metro office because I didn't really know my way around the city and got lost more often than I’d like to admit. Thankfully, this problem was solved quickly so thank you AIP for so patiently guiding me through the city during the time of distress.

¡Muchas gracias AIP for making everything run smoothly and my host company for giving me the valuable life experience that I desired!

Madrid was more than what I dreamt of. I was so pleased with AIP and their service (and assistance). The city was nice though I must say that their transportation was superior to what I’m used to back home. I really enjoyed exploring Madrid on foot. Though on the first day, I had a rough time navigating around the city and if it wasn’t for AIP, I would’ve had to spend who knows how many more hours wandering around the area….

But thanks to the perfect location of my accommodation, I didn't have to travel long distances to get what I needed. I mean it was right across from the supermarket and the best bocadillo place in town! I’m salivating just thinking about it.

The company I worked with and the people there were extremely friendly and helpful. I experienced a massive cultural shock but they were so patient and understanding. I felt comfortable as an Asian interning in a foreign country and that in my opinion speaks volumes.

I learned a whole lot with my company. And I wish I could relive the moments I had in Spain. Hopefully sooner than later. Thanks AIP!
