“Hi everyone, my name is Mireille van Berkum. Until now, my internship has been a crazy rollercoaster ride. Maybe that sounds a little bit cliché, however the first weeks of my internship was not what I had expected. Six weeks into my internship at Beekse Bergen, I had to stop due to unfortunate events.

Here is a great story about Mandy’s experience as an intern at Safaripark Beekse Bergen: “Dear all, It has already been 20 weeks since I started my placement at Safaripark Beekse Bergen and what an amazing time it has been!

Read about Danielle’s experience at Plopsaland de Panne: “Three months have passed, I am halfway there. It is better than I would expected at first. I was somewhat resistant in the beginning, as you might imagine, because it turned out to be a bit difficult after a month or so. Being away from my family, not studying anymore….

This makes it easier to get … Continue reading Year 2 placement: Plopsaland De Panne

March 2nd was the first day I started as a front office employee at Holiday Park Efteling Bosrijk. I have to say, I was very nervous, because I had no idea what to expect.

Do you know that moment when you feel so many different emotions at the same time? That was how this first week here in Orlando felt like. It was a crazy week – but certainly not the last crazy week – a lot of sight-seeing, meeting new people, learning and understanding things, and most importantly fun.
