A day in the life of my internship in Spain

09 Jun 2017

                                          

Hello!

My name is Mariska, I'm nineteen-years-old and I'm from the Netherlands, I study tourism in Breda but I live in Utrecht. I'm doing my summer internship in Spain, Seville to be exact, at Andalucía Tours & Discovery. Now here I have the first Spanish lesson for you: How to say 'intern' in Spanish? It's estudiante en práctica. It's awesome to be able to do my internship here! The second lesson: How to say 'internship' in Spanish? It's período de práctica.

Enough about me and my Spanish lessons, now I will tell you what a day in my life here at Andalucía Tours & Discovery looks like!

When I arrive at work, I get ready to do the Daily Bike Tour. I always make sure that I'm on time. That means I pick out my bike and wait for the clients to arrive. After everyone has gathered together, we leave to go to the first stop. We cycle all trough Triana and the city centre of Seville. A few places we visit are for example the Iglesia de Santa Ana, Hotel Alfonso XIII, the cathedral and the Plaza de España. It's very fun to give biketours! The clients are happy and funny, they tell me about their vacations and listen politely when a random older Spanish man tells them a story about his life, even when they don't understand what he's telling them. Oh, and sometimes I also learn from them aswell!

 Then after the biketour is over, I clean the bikes and after that  I go to my house. In the afternoon it's a good idea to have a  siesta, because it's very hot here. In the siesta time, I usually  lie in bed and watch movies on Netflix, but sometimes if it's  not too hot, I go shopping or just walk around the city centre  and go get a coffee. It depends on the weather.

 After relaxing for a while, I go back to ATD and work in the  shop. I'm seated in the office and I do schoolwork, post on the  social media sites et cetera. After three hours I go home  again, and then I make dinner. Then the remaining time I just  relax and make sure that I'm in bed early again, to do the  same thing the next day!

 I hope you enjoyed reading what a day in my life looks like!
