My Internship in Japan

An internship in Japan was always on my bucket list, and I’m so glad I took the opportunity to go abroad and make it happen! Although it didn’t turn out exactly how I had imagined, it was the perfect experience, which really taught me more about myself and my career path than any other internship could have. Here are 5 lessons I learned about going abroad from my internship in Japan!

Final Thoughts on Going Abroad To Do An Internship
When I first decided to take a leap and go abroad to do an internship, I was met with hesitation from friends and family. They wanted me to think it through because they didn’t want me getting scammed. But what they failed to realize is that people are good at heart. Ultimately, all that matters is if you feel like you’re making a positive difference in your experience and if you truly feel like it was worthwhile for both you personally and professionally.

1)My Incredible Experience Interning in Japan

How many times have you gone on vacation and been struck by the beauty of the place? For me, it was the first time I visited Japan, the land of cherry blossoms, neon lights, and amazing food—in other words, my dream vacation spot! While visiting Japan, I took part in an internship with a local architecture firm where I got to witness firsthand how amazing Japanese architecture is.

For My internship experience with Go Abroad China internship in Japan which is an absolute dream come true. I had been looking into study abroad programs for a while before deciding to apply from Go Abroad China. Now, after living here for two months, I'm starting to understand why so many people are sold on studying abroad with GAC: not only did GAC help me grow as a person and gain a new perspective on life, but it helped me learn how working in another country can be incredibly beneficial. This is where studying abroad really shines—when you truly immerse yourself in another culture and try your best to adapt.

How this internship changed me

A few months ago, I interned in Japan with GoAbroadChina and it completely changed my life. Not only did I learn a new language, but I was also able to travel throughout Asia, met some of the most interesting people I’ve ever met and made lifelong friends along the way. While being in Japan was an incredible experience, you don’t have to travel halfway around the world to have an internship that helps you grow as a person and expands your cultural horizons.
There was a part of me that was, to put it mildly, very nervous to go to Japan on my own. While I had studied Japanese in school and had visited the country before, nothing could compare to living there full-time and having to navigate the world by myself. And yet, this fear has been one of the best things that could have happened to me because it forced me to step outside my comfort zone and grow as an individual—and I’m so glad I did!
