Testimonial
“It is definitely going to leave some sort of input and output in one’s life. I came very open minded without a main purpose and ended with some projects I want to pursue when I get home because my intention was to get as much information as possible and make it a learning experience as well. The projects came along with my experiences and I got an idea to make some of them a business idea, which I wanted to look into. So I actually enquired and got some connections outside of the office while I was on my 1 month trip. I joined Kaya because I had a vacuum in my life and I wanted to find out what to do professionally and get back on track within my profession. I knew that I had to apply for a new position when I get back home because I had just resigned from my previous position. I was open minded to see what I could take with me home from my internship and my efforts to find something made me realize that I could create two projects as a business. I will look further into these two projects when I come back from my second Kaya travel in Costa Rica to design the business with help from other professionals.”
