A day in the life of an intern at ATD Spain

26 Jun 2017

 

Buenos dias amigos!

My name is Konstantina I'm eighteen years old and I'm from Greece. I study travel and tourism in London and i will soon be going to university to expand my knowledge on the subject. My college every year organizes a trip to Seville, Spain for the last years as a goodbye trip since it's their last year. In this trip we get a four week placement in a local company usually based in the city. I am taking part in this trip this year and I am very happy I did. Seville is a wonderful city full of culture and history.

My college gave me the oppurtunity to do my internship in spain, at Andalucia Tours and Discovery. My shifts usually are mornings which is the most busy time of the day. I always make sure I'm on time in order to help with any preparations regarding the tours. When the clients arrive my job role is to point them to the right meeting points with the right tour guide as we have different languaged tours. After that I complete tasks that are given to me by my managers regarding our facilities. Finally when the tours get back I collect the bikes from the clients and put them in their right place and order.

I am very proud for working for ATD because there is always something to do which means I get more experience based on the tasks that I'm asked to do. I am very happy overall with my placement as I feel I'm getting the experience I need with meeting new people and exploring a new city and culture at the same time! If you ever get an oppurtunity like that take it because it is once in a lifetime experience!
