An amazing experience

During my one month internship in Barcelona, I met amazing people, friends for life !! I was scared of not finding friends to have fun with, doing all of the activities… but it was quickly resolved ! I found amazing friends, we’re still in contacts every day even though we don’t live in the same country … Also if you’re scared because of the language don’t be ! I was the only French person in the program and everything went perfectly. You get to talk about the different cultures, mentalities…. It is actually really fun and plus you get to improve your English (and learn American or British slang ;)). You can meet people from the entire world : Mexico, London, India, Italy, United States.. and we’re all here to have an amazing experience, and make the most of it !!

Pros

Best Life- Changing experience ever

Went here during my gap year, with no clue on what was out there in the world or what to expect. I learned SO much from this, from my career field to working in a team, managing tasks and meeting new people. The office was stunning, and Absolute Internship was always there to help and checked in too. I came back with a new sense of understanding, belonging and more. Truly a good experience for those who want to learn more about their field, themselves and even just have fun in general! Thank you so much Absolute Internship!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I attended a talk by THE Microsoft CEO, which was super cool. This was just on top of the other entrepreneurs who came by. On a more fun note, I went for the Eras Tour, boat rides, amusement parks, concerts, bars, camping (midsummer was amazing) and even a cruise!!
Pros
  • Life-changing
  • Fun and engaging
  • Learn more about the outside world and cultures
Cons
  • Homesickness
  • Unpaid internship
  • You won't want it to end!!

Wonderful Experience

Absolutely loved my experience with Absolute Internship in Madrid! As a finance student at UGA, I was eager to dive into something that went beyond the classroom, and this program really delivered.

Living in Madrid was a blast! I not only got to work in a dynamic business environment, but I also picked up a ton of cultural insights that align perfectly with my interest in International Business. The internship allowed me to apply what I’ve learned in school to real-world situations, which was super rewarding.

Weekends were the best part—traveling with other interns to cool spots and even taking a train to the beautiful coast of Malaga was unforgettable. It was a great mix of education and fun!

Overall, this internship was a game changer for me. I gained valuable skills in international finance, improved my cross-cultural communication, and built an awesome network of contacts. This experience has definitely set me on a path to thrive in our interconnected world!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I was really proud of myself for figuring out the subway and train system! I became our group travel leader and put together a lot of trips and became like a local in my ability to get around.
Pros
  • Travel
  • Meet new people
  • Organized travel
Cons
  • Lost Phone
  • They spoke very little English in Madrid
  • The dorm was hot

Absolute Internship in Madrid

My internship in Madrid was such a transformative experience. I studied International Relations & Global Studies in undergrad and worked at a local non-profit organization in Madrid that supports those who have been displaced due to economical crisis, addiction, or other causes. Working here helped me grow as a young professional while also getting to make meaningful change in people's lives. Additionally, I made some of the greatest friendships and memories through my internship at Absolute while also getting to travel around Spain!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was very nervous to start working at my internship since it was fully in Spanish. However, my supervisor made me feel comfortable from Day 1 and I was able to practice and improve my Spanish by the end of the summer!
Pros
  • Housing with private rooms
  • Meeting people from around the world
  • Can travel on free weekends
Cons
  • Homesick
  • Work culture in Spain may take time to adjust
  • Budgeting for meals, other activities, and travel

Amazing Internship in Singapore

I had an amazing summer thanks to Absolute Internship, who organized my fintech internship at Pand.ai in Singapore. From the start, they made the whole process super easy and stress-free. The Absolute Internship team was always there to help, whether it was sorting out the details and housing or making sure I was settling in well.

The internship itself at Pand.ai was a fantastic experience. I got to work on some really cool projects, like developing scripts for AI chatbots and building a financial model to tackle some big cost challenges. It was a great way to put my skills in Python, Kubernetes, and MongoDB to use in a real-world setting.

But what made this experience truly special was everything outside of work. Absolute Internship organized plenty of networking events, city tours, and cultural activities that helped me make the most of my time in Singapore. I met awesome people from all over the world and got to explore a vibrant new city.

If you're looking to gain some valuable work experience while having an unforgettable adventure, I can’t recommend Absolute Internship enough.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
For future travelers on the Absolute Internship program, my advice is to embrace every opportunity with an open mind.

Pros
  • Elevate my resume with unique abroad experience.

Amazing Internship in Seoul

I was dreaming about going to South Korea for a while now, but it seemed very out of reach. I found about Absolute Internship at the abroad opportunities fair at my univeristy and i am extremely happy about it! They helped with EVERYTHING! They looked for the company and helped with CV preparation and interviews. They answered all the questions and replied in a timely manner. A huge plus was that they found a place to stay (modern apartament in central Seoul with just a perfect location!). Also the transportation cards were included, which was super helpful as well. There were trips and activities when you arrrive and there are people from Absolute the city making sure everything works fine for you, who you can easily reach out to for the support. The program gives you this feeling of independence, because you are there working on your own, at the same time there are other interns that you meet and do stuff together as well, which helps you create that feeling of belongingness. Why 4 not 5 stars? The internship is kinda pricey, if your university does not fully sponsor you. I know that it costs a lot to hire everyone to help with the process but still ;) Nevertheless it is worth it to try and go intern abroad!

Internship in Korea

I really loved my experience in Korea! Not only was I able to work for a wonderful company, but I was also able to grow both professionally and personally. The program offered many wonderful trips where we got to know everyone in the program and we also got the chance to explore Korea. I made wonderful friends while in Korea and I am very grateful that I got to go to a country I had longed to go to for a long time! I was able to learn about a different culture and I really loved it. I think that traveling to Korea made me realize how different a place can be.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I would say that at first it is scary to go to a totally different country, however, the best moments and memories that you will remember are the ones you make while being there, so being afraid is good, but also having the courage to explore by yourself just a little bit can lead you to so many great things. You can explore many different places and experience many new things all you have to do is take a chance and have courage. I guarantee that you will grow both professionally and personally.

2 months in Madrid

I had a great time in Madrid. I was lucky enough to get paired with a company and job that was almost exactly what I was looking for(lucky!). My boss and one other coworker ended up being great friends and great sources of knowledge, and the trips/experiences planned by Absolute were so exciting. Another big highlight was the great friendships that formed with the other students in this program. Not only did we get to explore the beautiful city of Madrid through some planned events and plenty of free time, we also go to visit other cool cities in Spain.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice is to be as picky as possible with the job placement, there were a few people I saw who had good experiences with the placement company.
Pros
  • Travel
  • friendships
Cons
  • job options
