Doing an internship abroad is not only for professional development but also the local cultural immersion, identity abroad, and networking! This Summer 2022, we had a blast with a massive group of international students from universities in the United States. We truly work hard to make the experience worth our spirit: TRAVEL TO LEARN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s turn back the clock and rewatch a lively Summer in Vietnam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Local Immersion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every country shines with its own unique cultural beauty. One of our goals is to give you a sense of authentic Asian cultures when joining the internship in Vietnam. The local connection starts with having a supportive and friendly local buddy from day 1 to accompany you along the way. One of our friends Aimee has shared with us that “The team working at ABROADER is beyond exceptional. Each person was welcoming, friendly, and not at all judgmental when we spoke about our struggles and accomplishments. The local buddies and program manager were the supports I felt most satisfied with because I feel like if I had any problems or needed help, I was able to reach out to them for support.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome international friends and help them explore their surroundings. Then show them how to eat like a Vietnamese, go across the street in Vietnam, and so on. These are small but essential things to give foreigners a sense of LIVING LIKE LOCALS! And the very first thing is to explore the local market and try to purchase things in a Vietnamese way.

City tour with local friends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Besides, if you want to make a better connection with local people and places around the city, the city tour will definitely help you. We had spent a long exciting day learning about the country’s history, landmarks, local market, and cuisine, and fostering friendships with friends from Vietnam and other people in the group. Look back on the whole memorable day in Hanoi in this video!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
