What our Interns say...

Matt Cassidy - Sheffield, UK
'I would just like to say thank you for my amazing internship experience! I was a little apprehensive at the start as I've never travelled this far on my own before and I didn't really know how to go about everything. Fortunately the team at Platypus Internships helped me feel at ease and settle in straight away!'

Britta Ewald - Berlin, Germany
'Things I was scared of about coming to Sydney were getting lost, arriving with no accommodation and work & without knowing anyone so I signed up with Platypus. To be honest, it's the best thing I could have done, they helped me so much with all my questions (and I had a lot) & they helped me find the best internship ever! Thanks so much, I'll definitely recommend you to everyone in Berlin!'

Roel van Amstel - The Netherlands
'One of the things I enjoyed best was the Sydney intro week! I met lots of new friends, saw dolphins, went sandboarding and had some good nights out with a lot of new people. The internship itself was very good too, I've improved my English very much and even have a bit of an Australian accent!'

Katie Walsh, Ireland
'My internship with Platypus was a fantastic experience. My host company was great and my colleagues were very supportive. I would recommend it for anyone! Don’t let this opportunity pass you by!'

Linnéa Nystrand - Visby, Sweden
'Going to Australia was always a dream and has become reality thanks to the internship company. When I came over in November, my internship coordinator arranged everything for me; bank account, tax file number, accommodation, internship placement and the team also got me in touch with lots of other travellers. All I had to do was book my flights, so easy! I still go to the office all the time, just to say hello and catch up for dinners and drinks!'

Marius Engelhardt - Hamburg, Germany
'Best thing about my internship through Platypus? The company they helped me pick and the people I've met. Australia is such a great country and there is so much to do in Sydney. Before I left Germany, I thought Hamburg was the place to be but this whole experience has changed my mind. Sydney is the best!'

Stefanie Weber - Haarlem, The Netherlands
'I still miss Sydney every day, I love that city!! As soon as you arrive in Sydney, you'll feel so relaxed and happy, you never want to go home!! Platypus arranged an airport pick up for me and then took me to the hostel where I did the 7-day package, got everything arranged and had so much fun. After this week, I moved into my shared accommodation where I made friends for life! My internship was great, people were so nice and I learnt a lot. When I finished my internship, Platypus helped me organize my whole trip on the East-Coast & The Outback, never expected my trip to be so amazing!!'
