Design and Japanese traditions

My internship in Kyoto was the perfect way to gain work experience while visiting Japan. I worked in a tourism agency in Kyoto, and had the time of my life. I chose Japan because I love Japanese traditions and the Japanese language, so this company was a great opportunity and a perfect match for me. I learned a lot about graphic design, but also about Japanese culture.
I organised my time so that I had time to visit as much as possible. I drank a lot of matcha, wore a kimono, went to Nara to see the Todaiji and the famous "shika", climbed on top of the Fushimi Inari Shrine... All things I have always dreamt about!
Doing an internship abroad is an incredible experience and I can say that it changed my life and my way of living. I feel more confident and free now. It made me realise that everything is possible, the first step might be difficult, but once it is done, everything becomes easier. You just need to believe in yourself!
