Sara Andersson in Nepal

Feb 23, 2019Destinations, Latest News, Uncategorized

“Professionally I have been gaining a lot of experience and understanding of HR processes.”

Sara Andersson, from Sweden, studies Tourism & Hospitality Management at Turiba University in Latvia. 

It’s Sara Andersson, doing internship in Kathmandu, Nepal. I received your email yesterday from Placement Year International. The first weeks were a bit overwhelming, having to adapt to such a different culture and methods of living. Kathmandu is a very undeveloped place. So that has been a challenge to adapt to.

When it comes to work, it has been going well, I am doing HR and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. So professionally I have been gaining a lot of experience and understanding of HR processes.

I arrived here one month ago on the same day as another intern from UK. So we got to experience everything together and even share a room together at our host family. Having other interns here makes the whole experience a lot better and easier.
