 "It was a time I will never forget!"

Testimonials from our interns in Australia:

Marketing internship in Sydney:
"I still have contact with the friends I made in Sydney and through the activities of Internships Down Under. My  photo albums with more than 1000 pictures say more than I can write! It was so cool!" (Deborah van Huizen)

"Australia is indescribable - it was just a dream! Everything went so fast. At the beginning of April I applied for an internship and two weeks later I had an interview request from a company. It suited me, the phone interview was great and two months later I was sitting in the airplane to Sydney.
My internship was with an international company. I was placed on a project with another intern. It wasn't always easy to work in a team, but this is exactly the experience I will need for my career, so I am very appreciative of all the experiences I have made/collected.
I travelled two weeks early to Australia so I saw a lot of the beautiful country before starting to work. The weekends I used for short road trips with friends, which was like a small holiday. Also the organized weekend-trips were very fun and I've met a lot of new friends. We did trips you can't find in traveler guides. I loved it because these little insider tips made my experience memorable." (Nina Schneider)

Internship in Sydney
"My four months in Sydney felt like two weeks! I still remember my apprehension at the airport knowing I'd live months at the other side of the world. I discovered a great place and met incredible people. My internship was interesting and my colleagues friendly. Here, sharing is the key word! Come together over a drink after work is part of the course. The Australians are really relaxed and nice people.
Living in this incredible house with other interns enhances the experience. I was slightly apprehensive initially having to live with 40 or 50 people in a big house. But this was the best decision I could make. It's amazing how people can live together in the best moods with such a good organization! It's so nice to live with all these friends and go out together.
If I had the chance to do it another time, I would jump on the plane without hesitation! I am not yet returned home and yet I am already homesick for Sydney! An unforgettable adventure!" (Julie Bissiere)

Testimonials from our interns in New Zealand:

Engineering Internship in Auckland:
"My arrival in New Zealand was well organized. I was picked up by a team member and after a drink he brought me to my accommodation.
A couple of days later, Marcel (another team member) introduced me to the company at my first day. This was a great asset because I didn't need to find out where to go and they introduced me to the whole team straight away.
Besides my internship I really enjoyed the country. In New Zealand, every weekend is a small holiday. Just get out of the city and enjoy the outdoor life and the beautiful environment of the country! After my internship I even visited the Cook Islands!
 It was a great experience that I would recommend to everyone!"
(Hilco Hiemstra)

Hospitality Internship:
"I recommend it to everyone!!! I went to New Zealand for an internship in hospitality and I had a fantastic time. I got to know a lot of great people, worked in the best hotel in New Zealand and lived in a pleasant and realxed environment. Everything about this internship makes it the best time of my life.  I will never forget all the things I've seen and experienced and no one can take away all the fun I had Down Under.
From the moment I started looking for an internship, I knew I wanted to go to New Zealand. From my application to the moment I had to return to the Netherlands, Internships Down Under was involved to support me. The team was reliable, professional and a great contact point in New Zealand. Above all, it is a team you can have a good laugh with, which is obviously very important as well." (Ruud Vlogman)

"I really wanted to do an internship in an English speaking country and after a tip from my internship coordinator I contacted the team of Internships Down Under.
Immediately I noticed how professional the organisation was. They were very quick in responding to my questions and they found me an internship in the best hotel of New Zealand! High class and a real asset to my CV!
I enjoyed the country and will come back here in the future.For me, New Zealand is the most beautiful country I have ever been to!
Thumbs up to Internships Down Under! :) "
(Arnoud van Walcheren)

Internship in Auckland:
"To describe my experience in New Zealand, I'll chose three words: "Sweet as bro!"I can describe 5 main areas: The people's kindness, exceptional activities, an excellent internship, a magnificent country and rewarding meetings.
New Zealand was my first "expatriate" experience. It has been difficult, but definitely the right choice. After four years spent studying at the Paris Dauphine University, I needed to change the horizon. New Zealand has always been a dream destination for me. Then when I found by chance, after hours of research, the website, I said to myself "why not try this way?" The result was conclusive: Answers to my questions in a few days, complete support
and friendly and professional staff.
To conclude, read the story of my experience but live your own."
