Spending my summer in Cape Town was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. I remember looking into programs for months, trying to decide where to go and what program to go through. With so many options out there it was pure luck that I came across Connect-123’s internships in Cape Town. As a Biology major, I was looking for something healthcare-related to gain experience in. My internship was with a Hospital doing research and doing some shadowing. It was a great fit! I was very happy with the opportunity I was given, and can honestly say I learned SO much! I felt as if I walked away with so much new knowledge that will definitely give me an advantage later. As for my free time, I was not even bored for one second during the entire two months I was in Cape Town. There is so much to do and see that you always have options. One of my favorite things I did was the Garden Route with my friends. We saw so much in one weekend that it was almost exhausting!! We also were huge fans of the Old Biscuit Mill, which we regularly attended every Saturday. Food was phenomenal- I no doubt gained weight while there! They have everything and its ALL GOOD. I highly recommend considering Cape Town if you are looking to do an international internship, you will not regret it I can promise you that! Best summer of my life hands down.
