Beyond Academy internships are not only an incredible opportunity to explore a new country and culture, but also provide the opportunity to grow in your career and strengthen your assets! Moving abroad for 6 months or even 6 weeks can be an intimidating idea, but the staff at Beyond Academy makes it as smooth as possible and ensures support, community and cultural activities. I couldn’t imagine finding the internship on my own, and I’m sure I wouldn’t have been able (or comfortable) to do the activities without a group to go with and facilitate it. Having weekly options of events ensured I made the most out of my time and I’m so thankful to have had such a wonderful staff on site to support me!
What was your funniest moment?
I’m not sure if it was the most funny event, but the first one that came to mind happened on the Beyond Academy Fuji trip!
A group of us split off during a break to explore an outdoor mall, and we noticed a police guard on duty. Apparently a dog had gone potty on the side walk and the police officer was guarding the spot to ensure no one would step in it. The image of the guard attentively crouched and warning every passing person was so funny, all of us were dying laughing.
