My VACorps Experience in Cape Town

I chose to come to Cape Town because I wanted the chance to experience a new culture and enjoy meaningful new experiences. I felt that an internship abroad would help me understand how the health system and health research differ from Australia. During my internship, I met many new friends from around the world and had the opportunity to live independently while gaining valuable work experience. I also grew more confident in myself, becoming more independent and outgoing. Cape Town is a beautiful city with a wide variety of activities, which I enjoyed both on my own and with friends.
