It is difficult to compare Cape Town to any other city on earth. The dynamics of the city are so captivating that there was never once a dull moment. The city has so much to offer. It is adventurous with its mountains and excursions, low key and relaxing with its beaches, winelands, and the Waterfront. If you are looking for a night out on the town, Long Street is always a good time. Overall I was very impressed with the sincere kindness and gratitude offered from both Connect-123 and my host organization during my stay in Cape Town. It was comforting to know I had people I could trust and rely on when I was in a foreign country. I learned a great deal from my internship, where I worked as an event management planner. My job placement was on point and I have Connect-123 to thank for that. I feel so fortunate that I was able to fulfill my dreams of traveling to South Africa. I could not be more pleased with the experience in Cape Town and would highly recommend Connect-123. Upon my return to the States I am pleased to have made both friendly and professional connections with people in the Connect-123 program, in South Africa, and all over the world.
