    "Thank you for this amazing summer! I could not have asked for a better internship. My employers were absolutely amazing and I learned so much from them! They really took the time to get to know me and they made sure that I learned and did a lot during my stay. The trips we took were also a lot of fun and I had a great summer."

    "The only reason for me to do this internship was actually that I wanted to improve my English. But once in Sydney, I learned much more. I was lucky to have a very interesting and diversified job and 'real Australian' colleagues, who taught me a lot about the Australian way of life. It was an important experience for furthering my career. Additionally I had enough time to explore this beautiful city with all the other interns. I had a great time in Sydney!!"

    "Global Experiences' Dublin program was an incredible opportunity to accomplish two great things at once: I had always wanted to reconnect with my Irish roots, and I had been meaning to do a Human Resources internship. I was able to do both through the 8 week program, where I acquired invaluable knowledge with a real Irish company during the week, and travelled throughout the country and the region with other GE interns during the weekends. I was able to experience the "real Ireland" living with a family just outside the city of Dublin and commuting to work every day. The skills I developed working in my HR consulting firm have proven to be the most work important experience to date, and got me my current job. From the pub life to the natural beauty of the countryside, Ireland is an incredible place, and Global Experiences helped me immerse myself in the culture, and get a fantastic internship."
