My Travel Story

Being able to get a fund for the internship would mean everything, as I have always had an interest in Japanese culture. I have already been to Tokyo and it was one of the best experience i have ever had. I have as long as i can remember always been atracted to the asian culture. It was later i developed an interest in Japan and since the day i have been in Japan my interest only grew bigger. It was after awhile that i made up my min to study Japanese in the Danish university. I had really looked forward to applying but i had to change my mind as for the time. I had a lot going on and i had to move out for the first time. The university was a few hours away from family and friends and i just didn´t feel ready at that time but i do feel more than ready now. That is where my future studies came in because i have always been very creative and decided to find something localy where i could use my creativity and here i found Multimediadesign which i already love though i have yet to learn a lot.

In addition, as the title points out, I am currently learning the Japanese language and the vision is that i by next year will be fluent in Japanese.

The reason why I would like to do an internship in Japan, is because it could be a step forward my goal for the future which is to try to move there or at least have something to do with the Japanese culture.

The internship will therefore equip me to get closer to the locals and learn even more about their culture. It will also give me the oportunity to help the Danish companies to enter the Japanese market, since as I said I will be experienced in the culture and know how to best communicate without misunderstandings and how to avoid offending them due to a lack of communication.

Japan is becoming more and more advanced in terms of technology and the international market is getting bigger and bigger. The internship will therefore as i mentioned previously mean that I can be prepared for my dream job, which is to be able to help with marketing in Japan using my design skills and knowledge or vice versa from Japan to Denmark. In addition, I will be well equipped to be able to work internationally, as well as become more independent as i would live far away from my family and familiar surroundings.

I therefore hope to get a fund for the internship program. I hope to get enough for  the placement package (Customized internship placement, 24/7 emergency assistance, Visa assistance, Career Consultation, Certification from your host company) for 3 month or the standdard package (Placement, Package Features, Furnished Accommodation, Airport pick-up at arrival, Preloaded Transportation Card (For the first month), Domestic SIM Card, Pick-up and drop-off from your apartment to your workplace on your first day) is also a big help on the way as i don´t have that amount of money as i am currently studiying.
