An impactful internship in Tel Aviv [ Matthew Gross ]

This summer in Tel Aviv was an unforgettable experience for me. I had the incredible opportunity to live in Sarona, a vibrant neighborhood near the bustling business district –surrounded by a diverse group of college students from various parts of the world. Our apartment was strategically located, just a 20-minute walk from the beautiful beach where we often gathered to unwind and enjoy the sunsets. Living with such a mixed group of individuals provided a unique cultural exchange, enabling us to form a tight-knit community, sharing our backgrounds and experiences while exploring the wonders of Israel together.

The company in Tel Aviv I interned for operated on an international scale. The internship was an eye-opening journey, teaching me valuable lessons in adapting to different cultures within a business setting and allowing me to develop both professionally and personally.

What made my time even more special were the people I met. I connected with fellow interns who shared similar mindsets and passions, resulting in friendships that will undoubtedly stay with me for a lifetime. Moreover, I had the privilege of engaging with Israelis who offered insights into their way of life, which differed significantly from the USA. This cross-cultural exchange broadened my perspectives and enriched my understanding of the world.
