Internship in Taiwan by Asia Internship Program

Embarking on a hospitality and tourism internship in Taiwan was an incredibly enriching journey. Throughout the program, I honed my customer service skills while working with a diverse array of international visitors, gaining a deep understanding of their preferences and needs. The exposure to Taiwan's unique blend of traditional and modern attractions allowed me to contribute to crafting memorable experiences for tourists. Interacting with locals and navigating the intricacies of the hospitality industry in a culturally rich environment further broadened my perspective and solidified my passion for the field.

All I have to say is thank you, AIP! If you had quizzed me on Taiwan months ago, I am certain that I would have not been able to provide an answer. As you can see, I was very short-sighted (quite literally and figuratively) and ignorant. This internship had not only helped me gain real-life and practical skills but it had transformed me on a personal level.

Something about being a foreigner in another country did it for me. It was like being transported to another planet far away. In Taiwan, no one knew my name and communication was difficult oftentime but through those hardships, and the truth is that I don’t know if things would have turned out differently had I not gone to Taiwan, but it felt as if my life was given a new meaning; I learned something new about myself: I know very little about everything.

I suppose you could say that doing an internship in Taiwan was an eye opening experience for me. I made a lot of new friends and many good memories. I had been fascinated by things that have never once crossed my mind. I have unlocked another part of myself (and I would go as far as the better part of myself) in Taiwan.

Take my word for it, you will come back from Taiwan better and happier. :)
