I am performing an internship for one year in Fortaleza, a big city on the cost of Nort-East of Brazil. The purpose of the internship is for me to prepare Botployee (a company that provides software solutions for companies) with their future expansion to Europe. ICX Fortaleza, found me a great appartement on 5 minutes walking from the sea, where I live together with an Indian guy and two Chinese girls, who are all here to perform a one year internship. In the weekends, I hang out with Brazilian friends or other trainees from the US, South America, Europe, Asia, … this really leads to interesting conversations and we never had conflicts, unbelievable how open-minded all trainees are.
This really is THE international experience and a dream for everybody who doesn’t always wanne chose the easy path in life. I am getting my first work experience and enjoying the Brazilian life, while learning about the Chinese and Indian culture and making friends all over the world!

Thank you so much AIESEC!
