“Leaving my routine, feeling different by doing something uncommon, discovering something bigger, something different and exceptional, …

These many reasons convinced me to abandon all I was doing in my everyday life and just leave and go for adventure to a far and mysterious country: China.

Doing an internship thanks to the AIESEC is not just about being a tourist because you take part in something much bigger. You breathe, live and work as a native while adding your own mindset and your own culture to the benefit of a company. You bring more than just your academic skills and knowledge.

For my part, my internship in China lasted 6 weeks in the educational and marketing field. Teaching English to children brought me such a human dimension in learning the Chinese culture. The interactions with my students were amazing.

I also discovered other cultures than the Chinese one. We were actually four foreign teachers from the AIESEC: an English girl, a Polish girl and a Lithuanian boy. Again, the interactions between us were amazing and we became close friends.

All these elements contributed to make me spend a wonderful internship abroad. And you know what? I am going back to China in August for 6 months.”

Best regards!
