J1 Participant - dynamic name

My internship in the USA has been one of the most interesting and defining experiences in my life. I have met people from Asia, Europe, Africa and South America and learned about different cultures and ways of life, not only from America but also from the entire world. I have also learned a lot about hospitality management and due to my dedication and hard work I have had the opportunity to work as a manager in one of the phases of my internship. Thank you Intrax!
