The big internship research
One of the main reasons I wanted to enter the Rislav course was because of the obligatory working experience abroad for four to six months.
I've done internships in foreign countries before but not for such a long time and I thought this would be my opportunity to see how people are working on the other side of the world!
Rare are people who find their internship at their first application, and unforthunately it wasn't my case either.
We can say that my research wasn't all flawless.
​
As I said in the "About me" section, I wanted to find a working experience on a cruiseship. After contacting nearly every single cruise company in the world, I got a reply from Holland America Line which after a couple of interviews offered me a complete training plus a job for at least three years.
It couldn't have been more perfect.... but....they only had the job vacancy on two ships and the dates weren't corresponding to the dates given by the university as I wouldn't have been able to leave the ship for my final exam in september.
My dream job shattered in pieces and I need to start all over again.
Amazing Borneo
Knowing that I had to change my plans, I mainly focused on Tour Operators and Incoming Agencies. Indeed it was a field that I didn't have the opportunity to explore yet.
​
I knew that I wanted to go back to Asia because I loved it the first time I went there. While doing some reseach I fell upon Amazing Borneo which is located in Kota Kinabalu on the island of Borneo which belongs to Malaysia.
​
Amazing Borneo is a Tour Operator with more then 20 years of experience in Tourism. Its aim is to surprise their guests with Borneo's untouched and conserved natural wonders as well as helping their guests customize their own travel packages and experiences.
From tailer made tours to M.I.C.E and from cruises to mount climbing, Amazing Borneo offers it all.

After an interview with the human ressources, I got accepted and they gave me some very interesting missions that you will be able to read in my blog!
