"What started as a 6-month internship ended as a 1-year adventure, paving the way to the next stage of my professional career. My time in Californa was so exciting and action-packed, that I decided to extend my program to learn even more. Catalina Island was truly a great learning environment, where I have made memories for a lifetime and gained hands-on business management experience. To all future Yummy's: Leave your preconceptions at home and arrive with an open mindset to make the absolute most out of your J1 experience! " - Alex, 2016/17 Intern
