Spending the past few months interning in Cape Town has been such an amazing and fulfilling experience. My nerves of being so far away from home quickly faded after meeting the Connect-123 staff, they were incredibly helpful and really have a way of making you feel welcome and accounted for. During my time here I worked as an assistant dietitian for a non-profit organization. I learned so much while also being able to contribute some of my own knowledge to such an inspiring company. Besides working, I was able to spend my summer climbing mountains, going on safaris, taking surf lessons, bungee jumping along the garden route, and so many more incredible experiences were crossed off the bucket list. I have formed a countless amount of friendships here and it’s going to be so hard to say goodbye to such a beautiful city. Cape Town is a melting pot of cultures, a city with so much history and so much beauty I am already planning on coming back for a visit. So incredibly thankful for the opportunity that Connect-123 has provided.
