Government Internship

I love Colombia! what a great country.

My internship in Colombia has certainly helped me become more independent. Since my internship many people have been impressed that I have worked and lived abroad. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were available every hour of the day which made me feel very safe.

I interned with the government. This was great and I learned a lot but I needed to be very proactive in finding work to do as I don't think Colombia has a culture of interns yet. For example one day I turned up and was given a tourism pamphlet to translate for the whole day even though I don't speak spanish! They did let me travel to some schools though to work with the education sector of the government which was a lot of fun.

Overall had a great time. The social scene was perfect, lots to do every week and met a lot of people. It was amazing.
