Intern abroad internship- Remote in USA

Intern Abroad found me an internship I really enjoyed doing! All my conditions that I wanted were met and the company that I did my internship with (New York Habitat) was also very good. I wanted to do a remote legal internship in the USA, and although I did not have much legal experience, Intern Abroad still ensured I had an internship that allowed me to build ok my legal skills. The support I received from Intern Abroad was also great. I could always reach out via email and even had support during my interview. Although it may seem expensive, I definitely thought the experience was worth it.

A Valuable and Engaging Remote Engineering Internship

My internship experience has been both fun and rewarding. Despite being remote, I’ve learned a great deal, particularly about connecting concepts learned at school to real-world engineering applications. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been incredibly supportive and welcoming, and my supervisor explains complex topics in a way that’s easy to understand. I’ve felt consistently engaged and valued, and I’m truly grateful for the chance to grow both technically and professionally through this experience.

Medical Internship Tanzania

I greatly enjoyed my time abroad with this program. The local team was amazing and all the people I lived with will be forever friends. I couldn’t recommend Tanzania enough. I did a medical internship in Tanzania for 3 weeks. My criticisms were that my time in the hospital was very hard to follow as much of it was in Swahili, additionally I think this experience would’ve been better if I was farther along in medical school as there wasn’t much teaching, more watching and helping with things you already know how to do.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Learn more Swahili before going
Pros
  • Experience a new culture
  • New friendships
  • Beautiful country
Cons
  • Language barrier

Incredible Experience in Peru

This experience was something that I will absolutely never forget! From the moment that I arrived in Peru, I felt extremely welcome. The local team did an incredible job letting me know the cultural norms, popular food items, and other recommendations for the duration of my stay. The work in the clinic itself was unbelievable! I was able to grow so much in my knowledge of physical therapy by observing and helping the physical therapists. I can't wait to use what I learned as I continue my education back in the United States. My homestay was also beyond spectacular. I was able to live with a local family while also living with other students from around the world. With the family we ate typical Peruvian meals, attended cultural events, and explored the city. I can't recommend Intern Abroad HQ enough! It was truly a life-changing opportunity!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I was able to ride a horse up Rainbow Mountain in Cusco, Peru. It was one of the coolest things that I have ever done! The views were breathtaking!!
Pros
  • The homestay made the experience feel like I was living as a local.
  • The local coordinators were extremely helpful with answering any questions.
  • The clinic was very welcoming and open to helping me learn.
Cons
  • I wish I could have stayed longer!

Internship Abroad HQ

My internship at Metropolitan General Hospital in Athens was truly an unforgettable experience. I had the rare opportunity to observe numerous surgeries across various specialties, including cardiovascular, orthopedic, neurological, and plastic surgery. Being able to witness such a wide range of procedures gave me valuable insight into medical practices that I wouldn’t typically have access to in the U.S.

Beyond the hospital, I was able to explore the beautiful country of Greece, meet incredible new friends from around the world, and immerse myself in a different culture. The connections I made—both professionally and personally—were incredibly meaningful, and this experience has greatly expanded my perspective on healthcare and global medicine.

Overall, this internship not only enriched my medical knowledge but also gave me memories and relationships I’ll cherish for a lifetime.

What was your funniest moment?
Meeting new friends building new relationships and traveling greece.
Pros
  • Fun people
  • Good Food
  • Awesome Hospital
Cons
  • Metro Transportation
  • Bugs
  • Heat in summer

Thessaloniki drone internship

Intern Abroad HQ and Circa Abroad did a really good job with coordination and making sure I felt safe. Intern abroad HQ, however, I feel, did not advertise the actual content of the internship very well. I was under the impression that I would mostly be working with your own hardware and learn things about aerodynamics and mechanics, while in actuality, I mostly had experience during this in software-based programs. I would recommend interning in Thessaloniki, because it is a beautiful city, very walkable, and somewhat tight-knit.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I didn't end up getting to the beaches near Thessaloniki, so I kind of regret that, but even so I had a wonderful time.
Pros
  • Increased tech literacy especially with Windows systems
  • The city is very clean
  • There are many archaeological sites that you can explore
Cons
  • Everything with the buses is integrated into Google maps except for the times at which they get to each stop
  • There was not a great deal of communication between our internship supervisors and us for projects we are working on
  • You either had to order online or go into the city for abundant food

Intern abroad hq is a fantastic organization!

Intern Abroad HQ is a fantastic organization if you are looking for a program abroad to observe what you love! I went to Valencia Spain for two weeks observing in a physiotherapy clinic. Intern Abroad HQ made the whole process easy to complete and gave me tons of support the whole way from beginning to end. Everyone was so kind and had answers to all my questions. They were incredibly organized and kept me in line with all that I needed to do on my end. They provided me a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice would be to take a deep breath and take it all in. If it's your first time traveling alone, it can be scary but this organization has provided you so much support that you can trust that you are in safe hands. This is an experience you'll never forget so try to take it all in and really savor your time abroad, it will change you for the better!
Pros
  • The process of paperwork and leading up to the trip is very straightforward, this organization is very organized and has thought of everything.
  • You get to explore a new place and meet people of all different cultures!
  • You are gaining valuable knowledge from your placement that will not only look great on resumes but also prepare you to be the best you can be at the job you have ahead.

Remote internship for dolphin conservation

My remote internship was a highly valuable and enriching experience that allowed me to contribute meaningfully to bottlenose dolphin research. My supervisor was incredibly supportive, patient, and provided clear, constructive guidance throughout the project. The structured workflow and consistent feedback helped me stay engaged and feel like an integral part of the team, despite working remotely. This experience not only enhanced my technical skills—particularly in data analysis and research methods—but also deepened my understanding of how impactful conservation work can be. It has inspired me to continue developing in this field and to actively seek opportunities where I can contribute to wildlife conservation efforts.

GO GREEK! Thessaloniki Experience

I was contacted well before my internship date by my Greek contacts, who spent a lot of time getting me acquainted with where to go and how to get around. The accommodations were cozy, and everything was within walking and bus-riding distance. I had a great time and I learned a lot about the Greek culture. Everyone was warm and welcoming. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was due to a bit of confusion as to where I would do observations/shadowing. Papageorgiou Hospital experience was definitely unique. Lunch advice: eat at the hospital cafeteria! The food is AMAZING! (Also, interns and staff get a discount.)

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I didn't see them, but I HEARD the protests about the university students who were involved in the fatal train crash.
Pros
  • Thessaloniki is beautiful.
  • Everything is walkable. People are welcoming.
  • Food is DELICIOUS!
Cons
  • Slightly disorganized at the hospital/internship site.
