“I want to share how grateful I am for having experienced one of the best years of my life in Orlando. Thanks to the opportunity to do an internship, I was able to grow both professionally and personally. I learned so much about my career in Hospitality and Management, made valuable friendships, and visited amazing places. This experience was truly unforgettable, and it was all possible thanks to my sponsor, CIEE.”

“This journey gave me more than skills. It gave me stories, connections, and a renewed sense of gratitude. I came to the U.S. to grow as a professional, and I’m leaving with something even more valuable: memories I’ll carry with me forever.” 

“CIEE’s support throughout the process made everything smooth and enjoyable. Because of CIEE, I was able to step out of my comfort zone and into a world of possibilities. I will forever be grateful for the experience, the growth, and the unforgettable memories.” 

“This internship hasn’t only helped me improve my English and discover American culture – it’s also brought amazing people into my life. Whether it’s my colleagues at work or my roommates at home, I’ve met so many different personalities, each of them teaching me something valuable and new. I’ll return home changed: more confident, more open-minded, incredibly grateful. Thank you, CIEE, for making this unforgettable experience possible.”

“Without exaggerating – my time here was one of the best times I ever had in my whole life. I was really surprised how easy it was to make new friends. I met a lot of great people through my roommates, while playing badminton, floorball, pickleball, or joining the local bike club.” 

“My CIEE BridgeUSA internship took me all the way from South Africa to the snowy mountains of Utah. I worked across several departments and gained hands-on experience in a five-star hospitality environment. Thanks to this internship, I’ve returned home with valuable skills, unforgettable memories, and a clear vision for my future. Thank you, CIEE, for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” 

“The skills and competencies acquired during my internship, as well as the invaluable experience gained abroad, will allow me to fulfill both my personal and professional goals to follow a career in my field of interest: innovative product development. I can definitely confirm that this is the most invaluable lifetime experience for me so far!”
