Cape Town is somewhere no one can explain to you. Between the amazing adventures, life changing internship and meeting the best people on this planet, I would not change a thing! My physical therapist internship was an experience I could never have gotten in the States. The VACorps Program was there for me every step of the way and many people take them for granted. They will make your time away seem like a fairytale. I am now 100% sure I will come back to Cape Town at some point in my future. I will never forget the experience and memories I made here.
