My first time abroad in over a year. It felt great!

After what seemed like an eternity stuck at home in Bucharest, due the cancellation of in-person teaching, and the travel ban, being able to finally take up my internship in London came at just the right time.

London was still reopening when I arrived, but you could feel the excitement in the air, as locals got ready for the big football tournament, and the end of social distancing.

If you haven't been to London before, then believe me it is just as magical as you see in the movies! Summer is the perfect time to visit, witgh people sitting outside in terraces, streets closed to traffic, and lots of open-air events.

Walking to work everyday made me feel fortunate to have had the opportunity, but also made me realise how important my internship was.

I was supposed to travel last Summer but it got postponed due to covid, and I later learned from Fashion Week Internships that my host company was one of the few that were still taking on interns.

I learned so much during my internship and got a great insight into the world of fashion, from brand management and PR, how to develop relationships and work with magazines to get column coverage, and what working in an office is really really like.

Time passed very past, and before I know it, my 6 weeks had come to an end.

Living in London was a great adventure, and a great experience.
