JIAN REJAS, 20, Lobby host and Management Trainee in Front Office Department, Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf and Spa Resort, Thailand

Being in a place with people who have different culture,language and beliefs to yours is never an easy thing, but with the drive and persistence to learn something new, I was able to survive the complicated dance and follow the rhythm of life’s challenges.
The most significant part of my internship in Thailand was gaining new friends – friendships so true you’d think it’s unreal. Having friends with different languages was very challenging and fun at the same time. We may have had a hard time in communicating with each other, but the sincerity and warmth were enough to make me feel positive and calm.

My main takeaway from the experience is to never let fear get you to stop chasing your dreams. And that in every step towards my dream, there is always something to be sacrificed, may it be the time with my family or my health, but in the end, I know it will be all worth it. Joining the Thailand Internship Program is the greatest risk I never ever thought I would do, the scariest thing I have ever jumped on, the deepest ocean I have ever swam, and the darkest path I have ever walked on. It’s  never a piece of cake, but beneath those pains and struggles are the countless learnings, thousands of smiles, and irreplaceable memories. Thank you, UTP!
