My time spent in Barcelona this summer has been one of the best experiences of my life. I was pleased with the organization of Connect-123 and their commitment to securing an internship for me. Arriving in a new city with a different culture can be overwhelming, but Connect-123 was there from day one to make the transition easy. Organizing events, and updating me on latest festivals to attend are ways they made this summer a blast. I also had the pleasure of meeting new people, who are now close friends and I will be able to keep in touch with for a very long time. As for my internship, I was lucky to land an internship with a Chamber of Commerce in Barcelona. While it was difficult to adjust at first, talking out problems and possible solutions with Connect-123 really helped me get the most out of my internship. I was really impressed with their devotion to making sure my work experience was everything I had hoped for. During my time here, I was able to attend special events that I helped organize at my work. These helped me develop crucial networking skills that I will be able to use in the future. Overall, I had an amazing time exploring Barcelona while also gaining great work experience and would highly recommend Connect-123 for anyone wishing to do an international internship.
