Testimonials

Australia is everything I imagined and more!!! After months of preparation, I finally found myself living by the ocean in beautiful San Remo, working at one of Victoria’s top resorts.

The experience has been incredible, both professionally and personally. From stunning landscapes to friendly people, Australia truly HAS it all. If you’re considering this program, be prepared to work hard, but also to enjoy some of the best beaches and surf spots in the world! Huuuuge thanks to IEC for making this possible

Travel changes people, and Cape Town changed me. This city pulls you in, captivates you, and never lets you go. It’s in my dreams, in my thoughts, and I know I’ll be back. If you’re looking for an adventure that will broaden your mind and steal your heart, South Africa is the place to be. Come with an open mind, embrace the unknown, and let the journey transform you.

Ever since I first saw pictures of Germany in my elementary school textbook, I dreamed of visiting this country. And thanks to the Working Holiday in Germany program, that dream became a reality! Spending 2.5 months working in Phantasialand near Cologne was an unforgettable adventure. My job in the fruit kitchen was surprisingly fun, with a fantastic team and plenty of sweet creations. But the real highlight? Traveling! From Cologne to Brussels, Amsterdam, and beyond, every trip was a new discovery.

To future participants: say yes to every adventure, talk to strangers (they might give you a free city tour!), and enjoy every single moment. Huge thanks to IEC for helping me make my childhood dream come true!💖

Interning at The St. Regis Mauritius Resort felt like stepping into another world. The hotel’s standards are incredibly high, and it was an honor to be part of such a professional team. The people were the best part. Colleagues, guests, and locals made this experience unforgettable. Mauritius isn’t just a beautiful island—it’s a place where you grow, both personally and professionally. Future interns, don’t hesitate—this adventure is worth it!

London exceeded all my expectations! From famous landmarks to charming streets, this city is a dream. My time at Edgware Academy was fantastic—I met students from around the world and had an incredible teacher who made learning English fun. A week wasn’t enough, but it gave me a taste of London’s magic, and I know I’ll be back. If you’re thinking about studying abroad, I highly recommend this experience!

Living in South Africa has been nothing short of amazing! My host family is wonderful, the city is vibrant, and the energy here is contagious. The football fever is unreal—every day, the streets are filled with excitement! Though I must admit, those vuvuzelas are a real headache—literally! I tried blowing one myself, but it’s harder than it looks. Still, this experience has been worth every moment. If you’re thinking about coming here—just do it! You’ll gain memories that last a lifetime.

Three months flew by in a blink, but what an experience! My team at Concorde was welcoming and supportive, making my time there both enjoyable and valuable. Mauritius itself is a paradise, and Flic en Flac was my favorite spot! The biggest surprise? They offered me to stay longer due to the growing number of Russian tourists. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be back! My advice? Be open to opportunities—they might just change your future.

Mauritius gave me more than just an internship—it gave me knowledge, new friendships, and unforgettable experiences! Working in a luxury hotel, I learned the ins and outs of hotel operations, attended exclusive events, and even picked up some French and Creole along the way. This experience has set the foundation for my future in hospitality. To future interns: soak up every lesson, explore every corner of the island, and never stop learning! Big thanks to IEC for opening this door for me!

Working in Paris has been one of the best decisions of my life. The company I joined had an amazing, relaxed atmosphere, and my colleagues were incredibly supportive. Plus, my French improved so much in just a few months! The experience of living in such a vibrant city, surrounded by history and culture, is something I’ll always cherish. To future interns: embrace every moment, explore the city, and make connections. This is your chance to grow both personally and professionally.
