Sonio's Internship Experience in Buenos Aires

My name is Sonio. I'm a rising junior, and I'm from North Carolina. I came here because I wanted to do a public internship, and honestly I was really happy with the experience. During my time here I was able to collaborate with a bunch of local people, work across cultures, and establish a clear plan for entrepreneurial businesses and work with them to help them succeed in their markets. The workplace here is actually really relaxed if you are looking to come here for an internship, but the work that you do here is actually really satisfying. I was able to conduct market research for a cosmetic company. I was able to actually talk to the CEO of the company, which is really cool. Besides work, the social life here and the food here, for the most part, are pretty good. I went to a place called La Guada, which is a small restaurant near the Mente office, and they are really good. If you are looking for good food, you should definitely go there. Through Mente they have a lot of events, such as escape rooms, or just free food, so coming here was really fun because you can meet a bunch of new people, socialize, and make a bunch of new friends. You can also go to different places in Argentina. During my time here, since I was here for three months, I was able to go to Iguazú, which is like a 12-hour bus ride away. Some of us went skiing, which is like a 20-hour bus ride away. I went to both with people I met through Mente, and that was really fun as well. If you are looking to come, broaden your eyes, study abroad, or just do something fun, I would definitely recommend Buenos Aires.
