  • "Experience International made interning abroad a dream come true. I didn’t think I would be able to figure out all of the logistics and make my time overseas as worthwhile as possible… EI proved me wrong! Before deciding on what program I wanted to work through I did a lot of “shopping” for the right fit. EI blew all other out of the water with a very affordable price for their program and the most amazing people to work with. Working in Germany for 3 months changed my life! In addition to more hands on experience I am now a much more confident communicator, traveler, and overall a more independent person. Thank you Experience International for giving me the best summer I could have imagined!"
