Intern Diaries - A Whole New World
Summary
The first time Taiwan was mentioned to me as a potential location to complete my placement year for university I thought this is my opportunity to kick-start my travelling dream and experience a whole new culture. From the outstanding views up Taipei 101 and the range of different sights and tastes from the night markets in the cities to the tranquility and peace in the mountains and specs of untouched nature scattered throughout this hidden gem. Working at VIA has allowed me to get on my hands on a range of projects in different roles that relate to my BA International Business degree that I am completing at the University of the West of England, Bristol. Despite the unspoken rule of an office that the boss’s word is final, the VIA team have done everything to break this stereotype allowing me and my other colleagues to be deeply involved in projects of value to the entire company. As I come to the final months of my internship and I think about returning home, my time at VIA and in Taiwan has definitely inspired me to pursue working for a company internationally after I graduate.
