I wanted to experience new things and to travel. I was looking to add work experience to my CV.

I really didn’t have something specific in mind. I just knew I wanted to do something in conservation.

I never had any expectations so I really enjoyed my internship.

Yes, they were lovely, they talked me walked me through everything, until I learned how to do it all and then they left me to be quite independent!

Yes, I was entrusted to do a lot of the day to day duties! I was often asked to take on extra duties outside my job role too.

Yes, I think so, I learned a lot of practical skills that I did not get during my studies at home. I also just learned the meaning of hard work, which was challenging but exactly what I was looking for.

Yes! I think it’s going to look really good on my CV.

I was nervous about travelling alone. I was also nervous about safety.

I’d definitely recommend to people that they come - I would definitely come again. It’s not as dangerous as I initially thought.

It’s lovely, it’s vibrant, it’s just a beautiful city! The whole coastline is stunning! There are always people dancing and singing in the city in the streets, it’s great.

Yes!

Yes, you gave me lots of advice, helped with flights, visas and accommodation. Then also the phone call we had before I arrived to prepare me for the cultural differences in the workspace was really helpful. It helped me a lot.

Really good as well. You were always checking up on me to make sure I was happy. I could always come to you if I had a problem with anything. And when you organised trips and things for me, that was also very nice.

The best feature was definitely all the organisation and preparation before I even got here. I would have never found an internship, and I would have been too scared to travel here on my own. The socials were also great!

Yes definitely.

I don’t know.. You ticked all the boxes on my list!

I think it was worth it for what I got. I would have never been able to come to Cape Town without your services.

I never had the connections needed to plan a trip like this on my own. That’s what you were there for essentially, you “bridged the gap” that allowed me to travel to Cape Town, do an internship and have a great time!
