Congratulations, you are researching the exciting opportunity to intern abroad or perhaps have already enrolled in an internship abroad program!

At Global Experiences, a member of the AIFS Abroad team, we understand that this question can have a huge impact on your internship and your journey in another country overall. However, whether you practice religion or not, you will be exposed to new beliefs and cultures as part of your experience which will be extremely valuable… so keep on reading! In this blog, I will share some AIDE resources that you might not have realized Global Experiences has available.  

Are you excited to explore the world but worried about how your travels abroad might impact the environment? If so, this is the right blog for you!
