Thijs during his internship in Barcelona

“I can tell you—you definitely won’t get bored!”

Barcelona is an amazing city. When you're in Barcelona, I can tell you, you will never get bored. There’s something to do every single day. On top of that, the city has a great climate—you can still walk around in a t-shirt even in November. I’m a huge football fan myself, so getting to attend an FC Barcelona match was incredibly exciting!

The Internship

The internship was really great. I learned so much about the industry, which promises a lot of good things for the future! Plus, my colleagues—including other interns—were very friendly, and I met lots of new people.

Football City

I experienced and saw so many new things. For example, we went to the highest point in Barcelona, Tibidabo, and from there I could see all the city’s major hotspots. If I had to choose one highlight, it would be the Champions League match between Barça and Bayer Leverkusen. I’ve played football all my life, and hearing the Champions League anthem live at Camp Nou was just unforgettable!

Tips for Other Students

Start early and set your priorities. But my most important tip is: enjoy! You’re in a world-class city where you can do and see things that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
