During my time interning in London, I experienced a period filled with joy, excitement, and a sense of achievement. From cultural outings to professional networking opportunities, this Internship ensured that I had access to experiences that broadened the horizons of my future career and deepened my understanding of a friendly working atmosphere. By the way, I truly appreciated how Peach not only organized a few fascinating activities besides my internship but also made sure I felt welcoming and secure.

Pick up your bag and ready for the new experience in London.

Thanks for support and positivity

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Peach for being such a wonderful source of support and relaxation during my internship. While internships can often be stressful, Peach always had a way of making things feel lighter and more enjoyable.
Her cheerful attitude and great sense of humor brought so much positivity to my days, helping me unwind and recharge after work. Whether it was sharing a laugh, having a casual chat, or simply being there to listen, Peach made a real difference in making my internship experience not just productive but also genuinely enjoyable.

Response from The Intern Group

A Great Boost To My Portfolio

The Intern Group helped me get two different opportunities. When my first internship offer was rescinded after a higher-up quit, I packed, but I quickly got another interview offer. The role I ended up getting was much, much better. Instead of web content writing, I get to write stories, and several of my articles have been published already. I have been assigned stories across so many topics, from politics to travel, and have been able to carry out a couple of interviews. I knew the Intern Group would help me expand my CV, but I never expected this boost to my portfolio! Plus, as someone who hasn't been home in three years, having access to so many Latin markets has been really special. Plus, the trips we took with the group in the first week really helped me realise the tube was not all that scary.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Using the tube was anxiety-inducing, especially when I had to take multiple lines. One time, I got stuck in a station that was so below ground there was no signal, and so I couldn't look up my route in Google Maps. I climbed a couple of floors, got signal, took screenshots of all the details of my journey, and tried again. Now I always travel with screenshots.
Pros
  • Multicultural cuisine
  • Lots of things to do
  • Accessible
Cons
  • High cost of living
  • Crowded streets
  • Crime

Seamless and Enriching Experience with The Intern Group in London

I had a fantastic experience with The Intern Group. From start to finish, the process was easy, and the team's assistance was wonderful. Everyone was incredibly responsive and helpful with any problems I encountered. A special shoutout to Rachel for her outstanding support!

My time in London was equally memorable. The events organized by The Intern Group and the people I met were great and fun, allowing me to experience local entertainment and traditions firsthand. Kudos to Peach for making it all happen!

My only critique is that applying for an internship in the IT department for software development was a bit of a mixed bag. The uncertainty around whether the interview would be technical and not knowing the programming language until the interview were minor drawbacks.

Despite this, I would highly recommend anyone who is still on the fence to join the program. It's a valuable and enriching experience!

Response from The Intern Group

Thank you for sharing your experience with us in London, Arthur! It's fantastic to hear you had such an enriching experience and felt supported by Rachel and Peach. We really appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best for your future!

Amazing Experience

This was a fantastic experience in Madrid. The intern group was a great organization to pick as my host. They ensured I was comfortable and listened to me whenever I addressed any issue. Upon coming here, I thought that my main purpose was my internship, however it's everything. It is about experiencing the culture—especially the cuisine, architecture, and nightlife—which Spain has in abundance, and meeting the people (who are incredibly nice, even to non-fluent Spanish speakers like myself) lol. Also, living and embracing another way of life was very eye-opening and informative. All of this, combined with the company I worked for, made up my internship experience in Madrid, and it was incredible. Finally, Lalita and Nikte are amazing women, and you couldn't be in better hands as you embark on this journey.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come with an open mind and let the experience shape you in unfamiliar ways. Also, remember that you are very much in charge of how much you want to experience during this trip. Yes, your coordinators will organize activities for you, but we are all unique individuals with our interests and definitions of fun. So, do your research and explore Madrid in ways that you love (and don’t be afraid to explore on your own). For example, I visited flea markets because of my love for vintage jewelry and explored various perfumeries around Madrid. These were some of the things I loved and made sure to experience. You are the author of this journey, so make sure to write a beautiful story!
Pros
  • Amazing Cuisine
  • Wonderful Nightlife and Historical Sites
  • it is WALKABLE
Cons
  • it is hot
  • You might get sick just because of a change in environment, so budget for that!
Response from The Intern Group

Thank you for sharing your experience in Madrid, Ose! We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time in Spain experiencing the culture and your internship. It's also fantastic to hear you found The Intern Group, and Lalita and Nikte specifically, to be so supportive. We're wishing you all the best for the future and we can't wait to see what you do next!

My Internship in Melbourne

The program was incredibly well structured and there was always support available when I needed it. I enjoyed the events and excursions, especially the trip to the Yarra Valley. The entire experience was seamless and I was paired with an excellent organization that encouraged and facilitated professional development. The Intern Group was amazing and made it easy to find a fantastic internship abroad.

This program has given me the support and confidence to grow and flourish both professionally and personally. My experience coordinator has been integral in this, she has been professional, competent, and efficient, as well as a great friend and a lot of fun.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Seeing Koalas for the first time
Pros
  • The weather
  • The scenery
  • The city life
Cons
  • Could be expensive
  • Isolating at times
  • Home sick
Response from The Intern Group

NYC has my heart <3 Thank you, The Intern Group!!

NYC has my heart <3

Spending two months in New York City for my summer internship was nothing short of transformative. From the moment I arrived, the city’s energy was infectious. Every day brought a new adventure, whether it was navigating the bustling streets of Manhattan, grabbing a slice of pizza from a corner joint, or simply soaking in the diverse culture that NYC has to offer.

The internship itself was a deep dive into the professional world, and being in the heart of NYC only amplified the experience. The pace was fast, the expectations high, but the rewards were immense. Working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry was inspiring, and I learned more in these two months than I could have imagined. The opportunity to network with professionals from various backgrounds opened my eyes to new possibilities and directions for my career.

Beyond work, the city itself became my playground, and it was made even more enjoyable by the incredible people I met along the way. I was fortunate enough to forge friendships with individuals from all around the world, each bringing their own unique perspectives and experiences to the table. These friendships, built over just two months, feel like they’ll last a lifetime, and they truly made my time in NYC even more special.

Living in NYC also taught me the art of balance. The city that never sleeps can be overwhelming, but it also offers endless opportunities to recharge, whether it’s a quiet moment by the Hudson River or a late-night jazz session in a cozy bar. I found myself growing not just professionally, but personally, as I navigated the challenges and embraced the thrills that came with city life.

By the end of the internship, I realized that NYC had become more than just a backdrop to my summer—it had become a part of me. The memories, the lessons, and the connections I made will stay with me long after I’ve left the city. NYC has claimed a piece of my heart forever, all thanks to The Intern Group. I’m grateful for the experience and the unforgettable memories:)
