Overall, how do you feel your internship went? 

My internship in NYC went well and beyond my expectations. As a marketing/sales intern at an event organization I was not only working in the office, but also had the privilege to work with some of the best clients/venues in NYC. Working in the New York Public Library, Lincoln Center and in the Hamptons and with clients like Armani, Versace and Ferragamo were things I could only dream of. Hard work is expected in the American Business Culture, but success is also rewarded. It was a great experience and some of my colleagues even became really close friends.

 What did you love the most about New York city?

I think I instantly fell in love with NYC. The best thing about being in the city for a long time and what I loved the most is that you experience NYC more as a local. There is always something to do in the city, it never sleeps as they are saying and that's the truth. The nightlife, restaurants, central park, attractions, street performances but also the beautiful Skyline are all things that I think you could not experience in a better place. Not to forget about the holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve.

How satisfied are you with the level of support you have received from Stage-USA? 

Stage-USA made sure that I found an internship that suits my needs. Even when I declined the first offer, because I didn’t had a good feeling with that internship, they didn’t hesitate at all to find me another one. The best thing about the support of Stage-USA is the help with the J-1 Visa. This is a really long process and would not be easy without their support.

To qualify as a temporary New Yorker you need to go to at least one Knicks game - it's worth it, too!
