Amazing Experience for Overall Growth

Working for Team Sandra this past summer (Late May - Mid August) was a life changing experience for me. I worked as a sales manager/booker which has improved my confidence, language and communication skills, problem solving skills, and overall work ethic.

This opportunity has taught me how to step out of my comfort zone, create new and long-term friendships, be flexible/adaptable, and use my voice. It has also shown me what I'm capable of, which I think was the most important and life changing part of the last 3 months.

As a booker you do a lot of standing, writing flyers, answering questions, and customer interactions/sales; other bookers are usually willing to help with presentations/questions when it's appropriate, and Sinisia and Jelina are easily reachable for higher level questions, which provides a lower stress environment and promotes teamwork.

While you are working for the company, you are also working for yourself. Don't expect this job to be easy and low effort. You will get back what you put into the job so make it count and push yourself to focus, learn, and grow!

This job will give you experience, sales knowledge (+ tips/tricks), immense personal growth, friends and memories that'll last a lifetime, and one hell of a story!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
The team is very multicultural, be openminded and prepared for cultural differences, new languages, and different lifestyles. Be yourself with your crew and let real friendships unfold, they will be your backbone for getting through the season :)
DONT FORGET SUNSCREEN, SUNGLASSES, OR A HAT

Traineeship in Medulin, Sandra Boat Excursions

My experience in Medulin as a trainee working for Medulin Excursions Sandra lasted for 5 months (April to august).
During this period of time, I have learnt so many things about languages, marketing skills… But the most important: I learnt about people. To have an experience in a foreign country and especially here, in a multicultural environment was the best experience I have ever had.
To meet people from all around the world, work and live with them give you an open mind and a great sense of adaptability.
I am really happy about these 5 months in Medulin.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you take part of a program in a foreign country, you have to be ready to meet people from different culture. The best advice I can give, to work or live there, is to let things come and go as they are, don’t try to change them because you have no possibility for this, adapt yourself to the places you are and people you are with. You will learn and earn benefits from this.
Pros
  • Experience
  • People
  • Work
Cons
  • Multicultural gap sometimes

Summer in Croatia

I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a summer internship in Medulin, and it was an experience I'll never forget. What i loved about my work as a Boat animator was multicultural work atmosphere and also opportunity to improve language skills. Part of my job was swimming into the Cave, explaining people the route of the trip, serving drinks etc. Also we had a free meal on working days. Overall i highly recommend this internship. The skills, memories and friendships I gained will stay with me for my whole life.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Definitelly swimming to the underwater Cave. It was part of my job but viewe there were spectacular, unbelievable like from another world
Pros
  • Fun
  • Free acomodation
  • Multicultural atmosphere

3 month internship as a 17 year old

First a thanks to Sinisa and Jelina for this incredible experience. Which really changed my life for the better.

This internship was not what I would have chosen in the first place but it was exactly what I needed. Due to my study Hotel- and eventmanagement is sales a not very common internship subject. But for my growth and experience this was what I needed.

I arrived mid May and ended in the end of August. A little bit of pre-season and highseason. Here you really get all the help: free housing, guidance and provision. Here you can combine your internship, growth and earn some money. It is hard work, but you get all the opportunities to develop yourself. You can go out with the tours and visit Croatia in the mean time.

Your colleagues will be from all around the world, and believe me, you will be a tight group together, there’s also good time for fun!

Meeting new people, as a sales manager/ booker you will meet lots of people, from a lot of countries, you will make new friends.
Even me, my first week I was super shy, I did not like talking to new people and within a week I opened my mouth and I had a voice and became super confident.

Here I felt very safe, they looked after me well, the bosses are fair but strict. If you are addicted to your phone & always on it or complaining all the time this is not your place to be but if you want to grow and invest in yourself and become more self-confident then this IS the place to be.

If your looking for a good internship for some personal growth and if your willing to work hard and want to be more independent, this will be the perfect choice.
This is my experience with it.

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moment is that when there was no people on the streets we played Christmas music in 35 degrees summer. Me and my colleague sang and laughed a lot which was super fun.
Pros
  • Free housing with fellow colleagues nearby working place
  • Provision
  • Bosses are Proactive and quick with solving issues
Cons
  • Its a warm temperature outside
  • Standing long time

Great Experience

I had the privilege of completing an internship in an outstanding team characterized by mutual support and collaboration. Each team member actively contributed, ensuring that I felt welcome and integrated at all times. The collegial atmosphere made working a genuine pleasure and allowed me to develop professionally and personally in a short amount of time.

The experience I gained during my internship was incredibly valuable. I had the opportunity to participate in party boats and other tours, which allowed me to acquire new skills.

Especially memorable were the unique experiences I had during my internship. From inspiring conversations with interesting people to unexpected challenges, each experience contributed to broadening my horizons and developing me as a person.

The assistance offered during my internship was exceptional. Whether it was answering questions or providing advice, the team was always ready to support me and ensure that I made the most of my time.

The accommodation provided to me during my internship was more than satisfactory. Although it was simple, it offered everything I needed to feel comfortable and safe. The opportunity to live near the workplace significantly contributed to my work-life balance and allowed me to make the most of my time.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I were to do the program again, I would better manage my time after work and/or before work.
Pros
  • Meeting new People during the Tours
  • Gather experience
  • Great working Shifts

Sales Internship in International Environment

I would recommend this internship program to anyone! You don't necessarily need to have great language skills to begin with, though they are helpful. However, you will for sure improve these skills during the internship with the supportive management and team. You will learn plenty of skills that will benefit you for the rest of your life, such as confidence, presentation and negotiation skills, languages, and communication skills.

Free accommodation, great team, and salary which is based on performance are good motivators for work. Alongside you have some time to enjoy the Croatian sun, nature, and culture and meet amazing people from all around the world. Through this experience, you will grow as a person and develop skills that are useful in any career path.

Pros
  • Free Accommodation
  • Friendly Team
  • Language Skills

^^amazing experience

I have to say that working as a sales representative in this company seemed to be a perfect opportunity from the whole begining.
International vibe, multi cultural enviroment, everyday communication with people from all around the globe and beautiful Medulin itself give you special kind of feeling.
You can discover some new stuff, improve your language and presentation skills, learn about sales and practice it every day.
Prior my arriving to Medulin i was well informed from a company and everything was like they previously said.
In your free time you can explore Istria region which has so so much to offer, beautiful places,cities,beaches,bike paths,camping places etc..
If you decide to go for it be prepared for
a lot of good quality time, fun, sun, dolphins,beach
OR SHORTLY Perfect summer time :)

My experience like animator

I worked as an animator last year, and it was a really great experience.
The work is not easy, especially in season, but it is a lot of fun.
You meet new people, learn new languages, and learn new skills.
I traveled around Istria and visited really beautiful landscapes.
We got accommodation that was close to work, and we also had food on board! :)
Everyone wants to help you adapt and learn the job as soon as possible!
The team is great and very helpful!
Truly an unforgettable experience🤗

A Multicultural Internship Journey

My internship experience as a sales person at in Medulin Excursions was nothing short of transformative. Set against the backdrop of a beautiful seaside location, the multicultural environment added an extra layer of richness to my learning journey. Working alongside team members from diverse countries provided invaluable insights into different cultures, perspectives, and communication styles. The role itself offered ample opportunities for personal and professional growth. Selling offers required not only sales techniques but also effective language, communication, and presentation skills. I found myself constantly challenged to adapt and refine my approach, leading to significant improvement in these areas.
Beyond the practical skills gained, the internship provided a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and collaboration. Despite our varied backgrounds, we forged strong bonds and worked as a team towards common goals.
In short, it’s a great place to earn and learn, and make friends from different countries. It definitely left me with lasting memories and invaluable lessons to carry forward in my career.
