Going abroad for a couple months really changed my life. I learned so much about new cultures and it was really interesting to see how urban greening is applied in Cape Town and see different perspectives. Beyond my internship, I also had time to explore the beautiful city, discover all that it has to offer, and meet new people. I had a great time in Cape Town and would definitely intern here again.Going abroad for a couple months really changed my life.

Urban Greening Internship, South Africa
When I decided to travel to Cape Town, I didn't know what to expect - but I knew that a unique experience was waiting for me. I had the opportunity to get to know the culture, locals, nature, and daily life. After a short time, I knew that this place was my home because I felt so connected to nature and people. Every day brought magical moments of rainbows in the ocean waves, butterflies landing on me, waterfalls, nature sounds, powerful storms, laughing children, pure forests, breathtaking views, etc. Once I let myself accept that Cape Town is a place...When I decided to travel to Cape Town, I didn't know what to expect - but I knew that a unique experience was waiting for me.

Every day brought magical moments of rainbows in the ocean waves, butterflies landing on me, waterfalls, nature sounds, powerful storms, laughing children, pure forests, breathtaking views, etc. Once I let myself accept that Cape Town is a place that is neither fast nor perfectly organized, I was able to surrender to the flow and let each day come to me full of curiosity. I made a new family, wonderful friends, and unique experiences, and was also able to learn a lot about myself, life here, and the different cultures that come together in this country. I am deeply grateful and already looking forward to my return. See More Yoga Internship, South Africa
I had a very unique and meaningful internship with the help of Roots Interns! The projects that Roots partners with are very special. I felt very well advised choosing an organization and was given a realistic picture of the type of work at various organizations so I could narrow down my choice. The internship itself was amazing! The sense of community was wonderful and I loved the work I was doing. I would go abroad with Roots again any time!I had a very unique and meaningful internship with the help of Roots Interns!
