My USA Internship: Work & Adventures in San Diego
CATEGORY: Internship abroad - Marketing
COUNTRY: USA
READING TIME: 4 minutes
An internship in the USA is a big step in your professional development. However, it is above all the cultural and interpersonal experiences that allow you to grow during a specialist internship abroad. Our graduate Carla spent a year as a marketing intern in San Diego, in the heart of California. Find out what she experienced here in her SGA experience report.
Preparing for my one-year internship in digital marketing in San Diego was intense, but extremely rewarding. After I was accepted, I started with the necessary organizational steps. Applying for a visa and planning my trip took some time, but thanks to the support of SGA, everything went smoothly. However, the anticipation and excitement of working in a city like San Diego made all the challenges fade into the background.

Adventures in and around San Diego
San Diego offered an abundance of recreational opportunities, which I took advantage of extensively after work. The beaches, parks and cultural attractions made my free time a constant adventure. A surf course at Pacific Beach, Mexican culture in Balboa Park, cycling on Coronado Island and the nightlife in the Gaslamp District downtown are of course not to be missed in San Diego. Weekend trips to nearby places such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas or Joshua Tree National Park provided a welcome break from the daily work routine.
