Hi, I’m Nane, I am from Louisiana and I study at the Louisiana State University. I chose to come to Greece for my medical internship because Greece has always been one of my dream cities and I could come to pursue my interest in my career and it’s one of my favorite cities- I would love to do that. The accommodation here was amazing, I stayed at a beautiful apartment and everything was made ready for me. The hospital was very nice and the people have been very understanding with everything. Athens overall was such a beautiful city. I loved it here and I would definitely come back.
