Rick Steves' Europe

Editorial Intern

June - August 2018 • Edmonds, WA

What I liked

Rick Steves' Europe was a unique environment filled with people passionate about travel and intercultural exchange. This internship offered me invaluable experience with professional editing, and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of responsibility I was given as an intern. I was even given the opportunity to compose my own newspaper article--which will be published under Rick Steves' Europe in December.

What I wish was different

The only negative aspect of this experience was that the position was unpaid. Nevertheless, the experience I gained was valuable in itself.

Advice

Don't be afraid to make connections with people outside of the department you are working in! Everyone in the company was extremely willing to help me reach my career goals and give me advice.
