It was an amazing experience since I could discover new culture, food, and people. Beside this the academic and professional experience gained from the internship is invaluable. I would say being friendly and ethical helped me gain trust and share the knowledge with my supervisor, which helped me a lot. Without forgetting the assistance of Absolute during my stay in almost everything, from information, tips and having someone to talk to! The best moments were the trips to Uppsala and Gothenburg.

Working international is a valuable experience for anyone. Here's why my experience was extraordinary:

With a perfect match with the internship company, I had set sails to a successful internship. The only downside on this was, that I found this match 4 Days before flying out to Stockholm, which made me very nervous. Special thanks here to the staff, who managed to calm me down multiple times.

Arriving in Stockholm, we got a helpful and informative introduction to the city and the internship from an on-site program manager.

Floorball is a sport very popular in the northern countries of Europe. As a player, it was a great honour and experience to play with a local team during my stay. This wasn't set up by Absolute Internship, but I would recommend you, to try and find a club of your sport to see how it's played in another country.

A big stress killer was the knowledge of having support from the Absolute Internship staff, even when they weren't on site any more. They checked in with us regularly and helped with problems with the company, accommodation and gave great tips for free time activities.

For me, the 2 career workshops, weren't helpful and more time-consuming, than a learning experience.

If it is worth the investment of the money: I can't say. For me, the University paid, but I do think that it is worth it.

Last but not least, I want to say that the bondage, you'll create with the other students in the program are very interesting, since you wouldn't meet such people any other way.

Awesome experience that pushed me into going into the field that I’m going to graduate school for. We had an awesome program leader (ily Charlie) and have made some amazing long lasting friends because of the experience. Our weekend outings were fantastically planned btw: Estonia was great but wet and ruined my pants but that’s my fault, Helsinki is gorgeous but a small child stole my floaty when I was at the pool, Copenhagen was perfect and I want to go back so bad. I loved my experience with Absolute and Sweden, if you’re thinking about it you should.

Going all the way to Sweden for an internship is really freaky. I don't travel much, especially that far. I didn't know how to prepare, what I should and shouldn't do, etc... However, the people at Absolute do know about how to guide you through these places and aren't unfamiliar with unfamiliarity. Although they could be a bit more proactive in reaching out to you to help along the way and while on the trip, they are very friendly and personable people that want to make sure you're comfortable. Make sure you ask them a lot of questions if you're nervous because they'll help you out or direct you to where you can get help. It was a very flexible experience with them, which I'd normally not expect considering the scale of what they do. They try to make sure you have a nice place to stay and fun stuff to do while abroad. They're a great avenue for exploration if you've been meaning to venture out of your comfort zone.

My name is Pfifer Blackman and I am an American currently studying at the University of Georgia. I am a junior double majoring in Real Estate and Finance in the Terry College of Business. I always wanted to go abroad and when finding an immersive experience involving work I was immediately intrigued. I participated in the Spring internship program with Absolute Internship.
I have held this internship particularly close to my heart as the people there are very accepting and wish for me to get the most out of it. They were willing and able to place various tasks on my plate and allowed me to earn significant exposure to the inner operations here at Hostini. As I was assigned these responsibilities, one stuck out to me as it was particularly fulfilling.
I was able to expand my leadership skills dramatically through my time in Stockholm. Although I did enjoy each corporate project, I found myself learning in corners never expected. Handling the company’s financials was not something I had expected out of this internship, but I enjoyed every second of this responsibility. It was a great feeling to confirm my love for math and numbers and have them applied in a real-life setting. I plan to take these skills back with me and hopefully apply them to a job in the fall around Athens while completing my senior year.
As this was a very developing experience in my life, I would recommend it to all. Coming in with an open mind and room to grow were two things that assisted my success.

The internship in Stockholm was literally the best thing I did in 2023 learning wise. I gained a lot of experience, improved my English, tried out a lot of new things (Bachata, Singing, watching floorball) and got to experience a lot of fun things. In retrospect, I'd probably try to go out alone even more to meet new people, but it was a lot of fun to work in Sweden and experience the flair of Stockholm. Absolute Internship made the introduction to the city, the housing etc. awesome, and it's really an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.

After spending my summer in Stockholm I can without doubt say that it changed my life and my outlook for life for the absolute better. I had never been abroad before coming to Sweden, but to experience this amazing culture with a group of awesome people from all around the world was an experience I'll never forget. The people in Sweden are so friendly and everything was so clean and organized.

The housing had everything that I needed to cook and we had all the facilities that you need such as washing machine. My manager at my internship and the company itself was great too. I really felt part of the team and company and they made me feel very welcome as a foreign intern. I can only say great things about my experience with Absolute Internship and the program and I really recommend it to everyone that want to take the opportunity to intern abroad and make friends. You'll have amazing memories and experiences for life.

My internship and summer in Stockholm through Absolute was really great! I was matched with a startup and was working in a company of six people. I really enjoyed my time and everything that I learned from my colleagues- and my mentor at my internship. Swedish people are really kind and the company made me feel part of their team, which was great. I learned a lot of great news skills that I'm sure will be of use at my next internship or once I graduate and start my first real full time job.

As with everyone I'm sure that took part of this program, I was nervous before coming to Sweden but Maria the program staff from Absolute was wonderful. She made me feel so much at ease, welcomed and was there whenever I needed. Also the other students that were part of the program were incredible too. I made a lot of great friends. I really recommend Absolute if you are looking for an organized, fun summer that helps you build your CV.
