The three months that I was able to spend in Cape Town taught me so much about myself and provided me with an experience that will undoubtedly stick with me for the rest of my life. While living in Cape Town, I had the opportunity to do a marketing/communications internship with a small fashion website as well as a larger fashion organization, both of which worked to help promote the local fashion industry in Cape Town as well as educate local designers. Some of my responsibilities included writing blog posts, editing website content, and assisting with the planning required for designer workshops and the fashion organization’s Annual General Meeting. My working experience in Cape Town was extremely positive and provided me with invaluable work experience that I am continuing to benefit from. Throughout my internship and time in Cape Town, Connect-123 was with me every step of the way. They ensured that my living and working experience exceeded my expectations, and were extremely helpful with any questions that I had throughout the process. They also made sure that all program participants were provided with plenty of additional opportunities to travel, volunteer, and get to know the city. Each month they would send out an events calendar highlighting the different trips they had planned for us as well as contact information for additional places to visit and organizations that are looking for volunteers. Cape Town and South Africa as a whole has such a wide variety of activities, there really is something for everyone. With plenty of beautiful beaches, hiking opportunities, shopping, museums, landmark locations, thrilling adventures, and a lively night life, the possibilities for things to do are endless. Living and working in Cape Town was a truly unbelievable experience that surpassed my every expectation, and I can’t thank Connect-123 enough for providing me with this wonderful opportunity.
