Q: Where did you intern?

A: “I interned at Kelsey Hopper Music and Yoga.”

Q: What made you decide to pick up an internship while abroad?

A: “I actually decided before I left for abroad! I applied for the position in October and started working for her right away. It was an amazing decision because I was able to mitigate some of my spending as well as gain professional experience. It also allowed me to explore the country of Luxembourg a bit more than my one-semester counterparts, which is something that I was interested in doing from the beginning.”

Q: What was your day-to-day experience like as an intern?

A: “One thing that I loved about my internship is that it was online, so I usually met with my boss once a week to update her on what I had been doing. She would tell me what needed to be done in the future and made a plan to execute that. This allowed me to work and travel at the same time, so I got to visit even more countries in the summer! It was one of my favorite experiences I have ever had.”

Q: What was the work environment like in comparison to jobs/ internships you have had in the U.S.?

A: “For me, it was really laid back. People work hard in Europe, but also know when to take time off and enjoy themselves. I think they have a lot better idea of what 'work-life balance' means.”
