    🌍🌟 Internship Highlights in Cape Town for Eef Bouwens Midway through Eef's internship, each day continues to surprise her. Understanding the company, embracing the unique work culture, and getting to know her colleagues are absolute highlights. 👥 Meeting my South African friend Emma added an extra dimension to my experience. She took me to her home in Botswana, sharing her roots with me, deepening my connection to the local culture. 🏉 The unforgettable victory of the Springboks not only brought the trophy home but also a wave of South African pride and enthusiasm that I intensely experienced. 🎉 EVERY weekend brings a new highlight. With 9 enthusiastic explorers in the house, they are never dull. Eef is interning at Neighbourgood #InternshipExperience #InterningAbroad #ForeignInternships #NeighborgoodSA #InternshipAdventures

    🌍🌟 Internship Highlights in Cape Town for Seb Verhoef As our students approach the halfway mark of their internship, we wanted to know what Seb's highlights have been so far. Here's what Seb shared with us: 🏡 Living with 9 people creates a cozy atmosphere and ensures that it's never dull. 🏃♀️ The active lifestyle in Cape Town offers endless opportunities, along with a crucial work/life balance. Yes, hard work is necessary, but there should also be time to enjoy life. 🌳 The beautiful nature so close to the city allows for easy post-work climbs up Lion's Head and witnessing breathtaking sunsets. 🍽️ Exploring all the charming restaurants in Cape Town. 💪 From what I've learned, I feel like I've truly experienced the workings of a real company, where not everything goes smoothly without mistakes. You need to be able to improvise and learn from your mistakes. Seb is interning at Plett Rage. #InternshipJourney #CapeTownAdventures #PlettrageInternship
