Prepare your trip
To find an internship abroad? Not easy.
​
To find an internship in the middle of a health crisis? This is quite an achievement.
After praying to all the gods from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (except weekends), I finally found my internship, but it was without thinking about the complexity of settling in a country abroad.
​
Apartment, plane ticket, PCR test, papers ... There are several things to know before leaving.
​
Don't be like me, take care of these things before going.

Destination Lisbon
When we think of Lisbon, we think of holidays , sun, fado, Pastéis de Nata for the most gourmet among us.
But do you really know this city? Its alleys, its history , why is it a popular destination for tourists from all over the world? And what are its secrets ?
​
It is true that in the center of Lisbon, most people will be able to exchange a few words of English because tourism is very present.
However, it is very appreciable when a foreigner makes the effort to speak a few words in the language of the country.
​
That is why I offer you words and expressions that serve me the most in everyday life.

My internship: Lisboa Pessoa Hotel ****
Located in the heart of the historic Chiado district, Lisboa Pessoa Hotel is a fabulous 4 star hotel in Lisbon.
​
As its name suggests, this hotel is a true tribute to the poet and novelist Fernando Pessoa.
Unique rooms, spa, indoor pool, massage room, rooftop, bar and panoramic restaurant, what more could you ask for! Every detail deserves your attention.
​
Beyond its charm and elegance, this hotel is also very popular with French tourists. A not insignificant little extra for the French speaker that I am who does not speak Portuguese.
