The best month of my life to date

When I first signed up to go overseas with Project Everest, I did it because I wanted to gain an internship experience to accompany my degree. I now look back on this and laugh at how laugh at how completely unaware I was that I was about to go into the best month of my life.

For me, my experience was so much than just something to put on my CV. The development I experienced both personally and professionally resulted in me feeling so much more capable in the things I could achieve. They were things I already knew I was capable of, but never had the confidence to go forth with. I left my month feeling incredibly inspired by my leaders, and formed relationships with people who have now become some of the closest people in my life. The support I received from Project Everest was unlike anywhere else. From ensuring my safety, to checking in on my health daily, to helping me to complete my experience as uni credit, there was never a point where I felt alone and without someone I could speak to.

Although you’re not staying in a luxury hotel, the experience Project Everest gives you absolutely makes up for the occasional power outage. It’s real, it’s raw and I came across challenges daily, but I absolutely loved it.
