I really enjoyed my time in Cape Town, the city is vibrant and exciting and the surrounding area is beautiful with endless things to see and do. The most striking thing about Cape Town is how imposing Table Mountain is, it is literally in the city! Table Mountain is definitely worth climbing and the Robben […]

My experience in Cape Town can only be described in one word – awesome. I enjoyed almost every moment. It was a great chance to meet people from different parts of the world, and form connections with people I would never have come across on a normal day. Living with 3 girls that all already […]

The work experience I have chosen for this summer was premised upon working for an Argentinian NGO specialized in human rights, which was established as a direct result of the disheartening situation and vulnerable state that immigrants and refugees were exposed to in the country. The main reason why I decided to apply for this […]

When most people think of Buenos Aires they think of tango, meat, and soccer. After spending almost six months in Buenos Aires I think of drinking mate with the families in the barrio, strikes almost everyday, and café con leche with medialunas. After having such a good experience using Connect-123 for an internship I did […]

After spending two months in Buenos Aires, I absolutely fell in love with it – and the assistance I was given by Connect-123 at all times contributed immensely to that. On the one hand, living in the capital of Argentina did not feel that foreign to me. I was born and raised in southern Brazil, […]

My experience these last 4 months in Shanghai has been extremely awesome (and I don’t think hyperboles exist in this description)! A huge thank you to the Connect-123 team, Lea, Sherilyn and Jimmy for helping from the beginning to the end, from offering so many options of internships that fitted into my unique needs, to […]

The two months I spent in Dublin completing a research internship were nothing short of exciting, eventful, and inspiring. I gained an extraordinary amount of knowledge and experience relevant to my future career as an optometrist, and I absolutely loved all that there was to do and see in and around Dublin. I really enjoyed […]

I worked with an NGO in Buenos Aires that specialized in Corporate Social Responsibility. The knowledge and experience that I gained during my internship was completely invaluable. The city itself was incredible. The nightlife, cafes and cultural activities including salsa and winetasting really added to my experience. But more than anything the people that I […]

Cape Town was completely different than I expected, and something I couldn’t have actually prepared for. The culture is rich, and the people are so proud of their heritage. I am so lucky that I can take this sense of belonging back home with me to America. I have never felt so immediately accepted and […]

I really enjoyed my trip to Cape Town and can say that it was one of the most inspiring, educational and life learning experiences that I have ever had. The country is beautiful in every way; the mountains, beaches and bay, people, culture, food and way of life. Beauty at its best is an understatement. […]
