Where will I work in Vietnam?

You will be living in Ho Chi Minh City; a bustling and vibrant metropolis in Southern Vietnam. The city is constantly buzzing with activity, with streets filled with motorbikes, street vendors, and people going about their daily routines. The lively markets are a must-visit for tourists looking to sample some delicious local cuisine and mingle with locals.

Culturally, the city offers a diverse range of experiences, with museums, temples, gardens and galleries to explore in your free time. At weekends, venture further afield and explore the underground world of the famous Chu Chi Tunnels. Or for a peaceful escape from the city, head to the beach and relax.

Lastly, make sure you leave some time at the end of your internship to catch the train up north and visit incredible places such as Hanoi and Halong Bay.
