Gabriela's Internship Experience in Buenos Aires

My name is Gabby. I'm from New York City, and I came here through Mente Argentina to do an internship. It was a life-changing experience. Mente did a really good job of hooking me up with the activities that needed to be done. My internship entailed international cooperation, so it's going to help me a lot when I go back to continue my master's. I did a lot of networking and partnerships, and I learned how to use RACI, which is the grant search engine here in Argentina. Overall, Mente packages the trip really well. We get a phone, which is very necessary in order to connect with other Mente people for dinners, and I feel like I met people that I'm going to be friends with for the rest of my life. It was definitely a life-changing experience. Definitely RSVP to the Mente events you want to go to. La Bomba is amazing. The day trips are really great, and Mente will also give you really good information on how to do independent trips. Andre did a great job of helping me plan a trip to Iguazú. Just take advantage of everything you can while you're here in this country. It's definitely amazing.
