Intern Abroad!

When I found out that I could intern in New Zealand for my placement year I couldn't wait to find an internship so I could jump on a plane and travel as well as develop professionally. Intern NZ found me a perfect internship that my university also approved of. I am currently thoroughly enjoying it! When I had questions about visas or accommodation they answered them all and I found them to be very helpful.

They have a Facebook group for interns in my city so I can talk to others. They have also organised several intern meet ups so I have got to meet other interns in my city. I also went on the Rotorua trip on Labour Day that was organised by Intern NZ which was soo much fun! It was nice to get out of Wellington and see New Zealand!

I would 100% recommend interning abroad! It is an amazing experience that opens your eyes to other cultures and ways of living. New Zealand is very culture rich meaning it isn't hard to find interesting things to do.

I feel that I have learnt more than I would have if I stayed back in the UK to do my placement year. I have met amazing people and I am looking forward to completing the rest of my placement year here. I might even extend my visa and stay longer - Once you are here you'll never want to leave!
