Career Goals, Travel Adventures & Stinky Tofu

When I first dived into the adventure of looking for an internship, I was hoping to find something where I can improve my Mandarin and Business skills. I massively struggled with finding an internship in a mandarin-speaking country by myself, although my skills are quite strong. That’s why I chose to go with Meiji Internships. They allowed me to test the waters in Taiwan and smoothly sail through my internship voyage!

Growth: What a philosophical question. Well, I would say that I have definitely learnt a lot during my internship and while traveling Taiwan. So 10/10, I guess?
Support: Solid 10/10! Definitely! Meiji Internships was great from start to finish and beyond. Right from the first contact through Skype, I felt like I had placed my internship quest in the right hands. I could ask them anything and could count on them to look after me as I stepped out of the plane in Taipei.
Fun: I rated this one 9/10. Meiji did a good job here, I just didn’t partake in many activities they offered, so I am not really fit to rate them. Most of the time, I just met up with people I had met at work or in my gym.
Housing: I stayed in an apartment 20 mins away from my company. It was clean, rather small and had all the necessary amenities. 9/10.
Safety: I was always as careful as one should be traveling alone as a girl (skip shady bars, don’t talk to weird strangers…) So I never encountered any situations where I would have felt unsafe.
Overall: One of my favourite experiences ever. 10/10.
