The most unforgettable experience of my life!

When I first decided to intern abroad, I was struggling to find the right location and area of study, however with API’s help, it all felt so easy. Spending time in Lisbon, Portugal as an intern was one of the best experiences of my life. Thanks to API and Ares do Pinhal (the company I interned for), I had the opportunity to work alongside many professionals in the addiction field and assist individuals who were battling substance use. I built many connections and learned/experienced a beautiful culture. All the employees and clients of Ares do Pinhal were kind, helpful, and one of the best people I’ve met in my life. I hope to see all of them in the near future! From the beginning of my trip until the end, API provided incredible support. Their pre-departure guidance and on-site assistance helped me have a smooth transition from the U.S. to Portugal. Don’t even get me started on my apartment! It was so luxurious and modern, which I loved. I lived in the same complex with other students and interns around the world, which made it easier for me to connect with people in the same boat as me. There are so many great things I can say, but one of the things I loved about API was how they encouraged cultural exploration. They gave me the opportunity to experience many activities, such as visiting Sintra, taking a Portuguese cooking class, and even going to an escape room – something I had never done before, even in the U.S. It is definitely the best program to study or intern abroad with!
