Also, language skills are prized in this ever-expanding world, and a stronger grasp of Italian can't hurt, especially since I want to work internationally. This is truly the best way to experience a foreign city. Not only do you improve your language skills and imbibe a brand new culture, but you also make lasting friends throughout the process. It is completely unforgettable!”

It was a dream waking up each day able to challenge myself in a profession I am passionate about, test my bounds in an exciting new culture, and be able to do it all in a city I love. While developing competitive skills and gaining an unparalleled internship experience, I made enduring memories while on lunch breaks in the Marais, exploring the exhibits at the Pompidou, and taking in the City of Lights aboard a dinner cruise on the Seine.

The company has now offered me a 12 month contract with them, based in Milan, to assist further with the translating, the translating of their second book in the summer and also with the opening of their new office in New York. This experience so far has been amazing, and this is only the start. I would strongly urge anyone who is considering something similar, to do it, as it can be a life changing experience and if it is anything like mine, you will enjoy every minute, make many new friends and learn a new language as well. Good Luck!"

My first time away from home and I was most welcomed by my coworkers. I was weary of the kind of reception I would have being in a foreigner and an intern. The team of seven women welcomed me and took me under their wing for six weeks. Every day was a new challenge and a new experience, and I learned more than I could have ever thought. I was taken to client meetings, allowed to sit in on candidate meetings, and was asked for important feedback in weekly sales meetings. As an intern you expect a good amount of pointless work and I was given the exact opposite. Belinda the owner and operator of the business made sure that every day I was given a new task and allowed me to experience for myself how a business is truly run. I entered work everyday trying to make an impression and exceed expectations. ICUR was a great company to work for and I was even offered a regular full time job once my studies were completed. I felt more accomplishment in six weeks than I ever had before and the internship program instilled in me a certain confidence. If you are going into any sort of communications field it is IMPERATIVE to have an internship if not two. Global Experiences gave me this opportunity and I have made many great connections because of it. Up to this point my internship in Sydney has been the greatest adventure of my life and I will return someday!
