India
On these pages I hope you can get some insight in my experiences with a 10 months (September 1995 - June 1996) AIESEC traineeship for an Indian advertising company. Here I describe both how it is to work and live in the strange country of India, and show you some of the travel I did while I was there. Hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did!

Goa
Just the sound of the word Goa, makes you almost smile after 2 months in Mumbai. Mumbai is so polluted that Goa is pure paradise. But Goa is nice. Very nice, indeed. One great relaxing week.

The essentials..
Here you see the Bible! Without this book you're lost in India. All professional tourists and foreigners in India carry the Lonely Planet Travel Survival Kit of India. The typical look of a tourist is a mineral water and the lonely planet.
So if you're planning on going to India, either buy the book before or get it at the many bookstores second hand in major Indian cities. The edition shown here, is not the latest.
AIESEC
My traineeship has handle by AIESEC, which is a student run organization involved in the exchange of students from business schools and universities.
