At work

My internship was a rewarding experience where I gained valuable knowledge, particularly in technological tools and their operation. I was fortunate to work with a supportive and collaborative team that made learning even more enjoyable.

A significant part of my role involved writing articles for the company's intranet. I took great pride in this task, and it was incredibly rewarding to see that one of my articles became one of the most liked – an achievement that is not easily attained. While my work required a lot of reading, which could sometimes be exhausting, I thoroughly enjoyed the process and the insights it provided.

I also enjoyed engaging in conversations with colleagues from different cultural backgrounds, who oſten shared interesting information about their countries. These exchanges added a personal and enriching element to my internship. Additionally, regular check-ins with my supervisor helped me better understand my strengths and areas for improvement through helpful feedback and guidance.

 
 

Host family

During my time abroad, I had the privilege of staying with two wonderful host families, each of whom made my experience truly memorable. I spent six weeks with each family, and both were incredibly warm, loving and welcoming.

My first host family introduced me to local culture through food and travel. They took me to various places to try different cuisines and even brought me to the mountains shortly after my arrival, where I got to experience a bit of snow for the first time. One of the highlights was going ice-skating together, a fun and unforgettable moment.

With my second host family, I had a different but equally special experience. They also took me to the mountains, though in a different location, and we often went on bike rides together. We shared meaningful conversations that helped me feel at home and allowed me to learn more about their way of life.

Both families had beautiful, supportive structures and I’m deeply grateful for their kindness and the lasting memories they helped to create.

 
 

Highlights and Challenges in Liechtenstein

I genuinely loved everything about this internship from socializing with people from different backgrounds to traveling to new places and trying a variety of cuisines. Every day brought something new, and I appreciated the balance between work, culture, and connection.

One challenge I did face was the language barrier, which at times made communication a bit difficult. However, it also led me to adapt, and, in the end, it became part of the growth I experienced. Aside from that, every aspect of this journey was enjoyable and fulfilling.

My future plans

With the experience I’ve gained and the different perspectives I’ve encountered during my internship, I plan to continue growing both personally and professionally. This opportunity has broadened my understanding of the world and helped to shape the kind of person I aspire to be.

More importantly, I hope to share the knowledge and insights I’ve gained as a way of giving back and contributing positively to society. Whether through future work, conversations, or mentorship, I’m excited to pass on what I’ve learned.

Personal message

One motto I’ve carried with me since my school days is “SI ALI ID POSSENT, CUR NON EGO” which translates to “If others can, why can't I”. It’s a phrase that continues to push me to overcome challenges, believe in my potential, and pursue growth with confidence. This internship was a testament to that mindset, showing me that with determination and the right support, anything is possible.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the university, host companies and to B360 education partnerships for making this opportunity a reality. I am truly thankful for the experience, the connections, and the lessons that I will carry with me for years to come.
