A Meaningful Experience That Helped Me Grow

My internship abroad in Bangkok was an experience that I will always remember. Living and working in a different country gave me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone, experience a new culture, and become more independent. During my internship, I gained valuable hands-on experience in IT and had the opportunity to work on different tasks and projects. These experiences helped me improve my technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in a professional environment. I also enjoyed working with my team and learning from the people around me.

Outside of work, living in Bangkok was an experience in itself. I had the chance to explore the city, try different foods, experience the local lifestyle, and make memories that I would not have been able to make at home. There were definitely some challenges when adjusting to a new country, workplace, and daily routine, but those challenges taught me how to adapt and become more independent. Overall, I am very grateful for this opportunity. This internship was valuable not only for my future career but also for my personal growth, and I would definitely recommend an internship abroad to other students who want to gain experience while experiencing life in another country.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
One of the most unfamiliar foods I tried in Thailand was boat noodles. I had never tried this type of noodle soup before, and the rich, dark broth had a very different flavor from the noodles I usually eat. I was a little unsure at first, but I really enjoyed trying something new. It became one of the foods that made my experience in Thailand more memorable.
Pros

My internship in Japan

I had a great experience with AIP! They were very helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the whole process of finding my company placement in Asia and after as well. The communication was smooth, and they made the process much easier and less stressful.

Thanks to AIP, I was able to find an amazing opportunity that matched what I was looking for. It definitely depends on the company you get but they found a great one for me with many other interns which made my stay a lot more fun. I would definitely recommend AIP to anyone looking for an international internship or professional experience abroad!

What was your funniest moment?
Nights out with other interns and football nights.

My experience in Korea with AIP!

My experience with AIP has been great! I received support from the AIP representatives throughout my internship. The company I worked for was very accommodating and offered me a role where I could contribute very meaningfully! My tasks involved both internal business and data analysis tasks but also some client facing tasks, which I think made the internship really well rounded. By the end of the internship, I had gained some more practical experience with digital marketing, client communication, building and analyzing spreadsheets and data collection systems.

Internship in Taiwan

I had a great time here in Taiwan with the internship from AIP. Everyone was very kind and the food was good here. For the past 3 months, I learned a lot from my host company with using AI agent and business operation and strategy. I was involved in many different projects and joined different teams for collaborative work. They had a very flexible organizational structure and it was great to experience new working environment. I would highly recommend this program to my peers 10/10 experience for sure.

Good Support

I'm very thankful for AIP's assistance in securing my internship in Seoul, South Korea (8 weeks). Finding an internship abroad appeared next to impossible but with AIP's help it made it very manageable! What really makes AIP wonderful is the on ground support they provided. I was able to get in touch with my support persons 24/7, even at 3am when I had an emergency! Having the extra support when finding and completing and internship abroad was invaluable! I am truly thankful to my on ground contact points and AIPs staff!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don't over stress! Especially with AIP's help all you need to do is enjoy the experience and take it one step at a time!

Wonderful experience

I lived in South Korea for 5 months and if it weren’t for AIP I would have been so lost. Everyone I talked to during my preparation period was super friendly and patient in responding to all my questions. They found me a great company to work for and I’m really grateful for this experience. The attention to my well-being didn’t just stop before I arrived there, there was always someone checking up on my from time to time, making sure everything was going smoothly. I would like to make some special thanks to Jeff and Herlyn that have always helped me so much and made me feel at ease, even when I had a hard time :)

Internship

I did my internship in Japan during the summer. It was a bit difficult to find a company related to my area, but AIP made it possible and helped me find a good place. I had a really good experience and learned a lot from working in a different environment and living in another country. I would definitely recommend a program like this if you have the chance. It’s a great way to experience another culture, learn new things, and gain experience that can help improve your professional profile overall.

Great experience

Thanks to AIP, I had a productive and rewarding experience in Japan. The process took more time than I expected, mainly because my job area was limited and I wanted to find a position that matched my profile. Fortunately, AIP was able to find a suitable job for me. This experience allowed me to develop professionally, adapt to a different work environment, and learn more about Japanese culture. Overall, I am very grateful for the opportunity and everything I learned in Japan and grew a lot! too.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Measure times, and try to explore all you can.

Loved it!

AIP made my summer internship in South Korea such a fun, memorable, and supportive experience! I was able to safely explore Korea and become more independent while knowing that if I ever needed anything, the AIP team was only one text away. They were always eager to get to know us, check in, and make sure we felt comfortable. Their support gave me the confidence to step outside my comfort zone, meet new people, and fully embrace living and working abroad. I learned so much personally and professionally, and I’m incredibly grateful to have had this experience with AIP!

6 months internship in Bangkok

I spent six months in Bangkok through an internship organized by AIP, and I am very grateful for the experience. The internship gave me the opportunity to gain valuable professional experience, broaden my perspective, and develop new skills in an international environment. It definitely opened new opportunities and was a very rewarding experience.

AIP made the whole process much easier by organizing the internship placement and arranging accommodation before my arrival. The apartment was in a great location, making it easy to get to work and explore the city. Whenever I had questions or needed support, Nisha, Herlyn and Kate from the community management team were always kind and happy to help.

Overall, I had a very positive experience. Having AIP take care of the practical arrangements allowed me to focus on making the most of my internship and my time in Bangkok.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I’m a very picky eater, but I promised myself that I would try as many new dishes and foods as I could. The most unusual thing I tried was definitely some worms at a night market. XD
