Program Reviews

My internship experience in Seville, made possible thanks to Intern Abroad HQ, was truly wonderful. This city is exactly the kind of place I will always be happy to return to — a place filled with sunshine, warmth, friendly Sevillians, and a peaceful organic farm with a newly created vegetable garden built together, as well as the acacia tree I planted myself, which I hope will grow into something truly magnificent.

This company helped me find exactly the right farm where I could deepen my practical experience in the field of agronomy. Throughout the entire journey, my managers Veronika and Belén were always by my side, responding quickly to all my questions and helping ensure that everything developed smoothly, step by step, and in the right direction. I never once felt alone or confused, because I always knew they were ready to help me whenever I needed support. I am extremely grateful!

My three-month internship at Capital Psicólogos in Madrid was a uniquely valuable experience that strengthened my development as a 21-year-old aspiring clinical psychologist. What made it truly stand out was the chance to work directly with real patients through one-on-one sessions, allowing me to apply theory in practical, meaningful ways and confirm my passion for clinical work. The bilingual setting—half English, half Spanish—challenged me while helping me improve my Spanish and adapt to a wide variety of clients. The team was incredibly supportive, always willing to translate, guide, and adjust schedules so I could participate fully. The work environment was educational, flexible, and welcoming, which made learning feel natural rather than pressured. Although most sessions were online, and in-person days were fully in Spanish—which at times made communication difficult—the experience highlighted the importance of reducing language barriers and gaining more hands-on clinical exposure. Overall, this internship offers future students real therapeutic responsibility, cultural immersion, and a genuinely caring team. It is an exceptional opportunity for anyone seeking meaningful clinical experience early in their career.

My internship in Greece was a truly refreshing and enriching experience. I met many new people, learned a lot about myself, and gathered valuable insights along the way. The overall atmosphere was positive, and the team made me feel welcome from the very first day. The company fosters a friendly and open environment where interns can grow both personally and professionally, and communication was always clear and supportive.

One thing that could make the experience even better would be a stronger focus on practical work. My tasks were mostly theoretical, and more hands-on activities would have added even greater value. Despite this, I genuinely enjoyed my time there and appreciate everything I learned.

I loved my experience in Cape Town. Intern Abroad HQ never made me feel uncertain about what I could expect and I know there was always someone I could reach out to with any questions/ if anything came up. This doesn't only include the time pre-departure, but also in country, as well as afterwards. I always felt like I was prepared well and had everything I needed to have the best experience. The local team was also great and really helped Everyone to feel comfortable and supported. I would recommend Intern Abroad HQ/ Masambeni over and over again for this incredible opportunity that definitely changed my perspective on the world, be more informed and understanding of other people, their culture as well as their history. Anyone interested in a program like this should definitely be open-minded. Inform yourself about the place you're wanting to experience beforehand and know that there will be challenges, but none that you cannot overcome. There's a lot of support available and a good common sense will already serve you so well!

They were very organized and so helpful! I felt very safe the entire time and was accommodated for all my needs on my first solo travel! I had a great experience at my clinical rotations as well. They were very flexible and supportive of tourism. Exploring the country and its many islands were easy and cheap! The food was amazing and people were very welcoming. I never felt unsafe on public transportation or on the streets of Greece. My internship team was dedicated to my safety and well being during this trip!

What I enjoyed most about the remote Clinical Psychology internship was how it became a meaningful part of my weekly routine. Every Saturday morning, watching the sunrise and joining the sessions provided both mental stimulation and a sense of purpose. The structure—from introductions to ongoing check-ins and the final review—made learning feel natural and engaging. The content was extremely useful, generously shared, and covered updated and practical topics applicable to future work in psychology. I learned to integrate knowledge into practice, consider multiple perspectives, respect cultural differences, and work effectively with patients as well as their families or support systems. The internship strengthened my professionalism, empathy, confidentiality, organisational skills, problem-solving abilities, and adaptability, contributing significantly to my personal and professional growth. What made this experience truly exceptional was my supervisor. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented but also genuinely passionate about teaching and supporting her students. Her positive attitude, warmth, and encouragement created a judgment-free environment where I always felt comfortable asking questions and exploring new ideas. My supervisor challenged my inner blockages, inspired me to push beyond my limits, and made learning enjoyable even during intense or serious work. Over time, I came to see her as both a mentor and a friend, whose guidance and energy profoundly shaped my growth and deepened my passion for psychology.

This company provided a full seamless package that included the internship placement and the accommodation in the host country. They had a variety of internship opportunities and the accommodation itself was homely and people that stayed there were friendly. The hosts gave good recommendations of where to go, where to buy food etc and the communication was very easy (through an app). The internship placement was also what I had applied for and it allowed a hybrid flexibility which was great because I got to explore the host country too as a result. They provided airport pick-up service and had many facilities within the accommodation. Great internship + housing!

I completed an online internship based in India focused on developmental psychology. My main role involved watching recorded sessions and writing detailed analytical reports, which strengthened my observation, critical thinking, and report-writing skills. The internship was well-organised, and communication with the coordinators was quick and efficient, which made the experience smooth and accessible. However, there was limited direct interaction with clients or live sessions, which I feel could be improved to provide more practical, hands-on experience and opportunities for skill application.

The Marketing & Communications in Japan internship contributed to my personal development in time management skills. It also enhanced my knowledge in my field of study in marketing and design and the Japanese language. These skills can be applied to my future career that I plan to pursue. I also enjoyed the networks I built and traveling! The advisors for the program were also very helpful. They always replied very fast and were supportive in every step. It was a great experience in growing both personally and professionally.

My remote internship with Intern Abroad HQ was an incredibly rewarding and eye-opening experience! From the very first week, my coordinator and the local team made me feel supported, valued, and part of something meaningful. The projects I worked on weren’t just “busy work” — they were real, impactful contributions to ongoing initiatives that directly benefit the community.

One of the highlights was collaborating on creative media and reporting projects that showcased the organization’s work. Even though we were on opposite sides of the world, the team maintained clear, consistent communication through weekly Zoom calls and regular updates. I always felt comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, and taking ownership of my tasks.

This experience challenged me to think critically, adapt to new ways of working, and build skills I know will be valuable in my future career — especially in communications, cross-cultural teamwork, and nonprofit support. It was inspiring to see the dedication and passion the local team has, and I left with not only professional growth but also a deeper appreciation for meaningful change.

I would 100% recommend this program to anyone looking for a meaningful, flexible, and enriching remote internship. I am 17 years old and this was my very first internship, and I couldn't be more grateful for this experience. I truly recommend to all ages and typed of people - as it is an opportunity to gain real-world experience while contributing to a cause that truly matters.
