I choose Cape Town, because I always wanted to come to South Africa.I knew, that Occupational therapy is quite developed in South Africa and my expectations became true. I learned a lot during my time in Cape town about my work and about myself. I really appreciated how VAC and my colleges at my internship site welcomed me. It was good to know, that VAC would always support me, when ever needed and I am very grateful for that. Cape Town is a wonderful city to explore and i definitely never felt bored. I enjoyed the weekly activities and tried to join every time. I stayed for 3 months which was a good amount of time for me. I will miss my flatmates at “‘3 Bishop”‘, because I became friends with all of them and we spent a lot of time together.
