Travel Post: Back from Czech Republic


Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while. I was doing an internship in Czech Republic. The organization is called “AIESEC”. It’s a student exchange organization and it’s really the best but it requires you to be a college student or a recent graduate. Here’s the link to the Organization’s website if you’re interested http://www.aiesec.org/

Let me start by talking about the place first. It was my first time in Europe. I have to say “Prague” is the most beautiful city I’ve been to. It’s so historical, cultural and the nightlife there is just great. I highly recommend going there. The people are very polite and it’s so organized. I don’t know if that’s a catch for a lot of people but it is for me cause I come from Egypt so “Organized streets & extremely polite people” are kind of like a fantasy to me.  I’ve also been to Italy, Poland, Germany & Austria this trip.

The internship was basically an educational one. We went to visit High schools all around Czech Republic and teach the students there about our countries. We were 8 interns: Two Egyptians, a Chinese girl, an Indian guy, a Hungarian girl, a Romanian guy, a Mexican girl & a Brazilian girl.  The internship lasted for a total of 6 weeks and I have to say they were the best 6 weeks of my life. The Indian sense of humor + the Hungarian warmth + the Romanian sweetness + the Mexican spiciness  + the Brazilian fun + the Chinese goofiness + the Egyptian hilariousness made it a PERFECT combination. I don’t want to bore you with the details of our adventure on the first travel post so, I will just wait for the feedback on this post. If it comes out positive, I will continue to write a travel journal about all the places I’ve seen and the people I’ve met.
