I still to this day don't know how i got so lucky BUT i secured an amazing summer internship in one of the top holiday destinations in the world (and a place i had never been before then), IBIZA!
How it all began!
During my final year at university and mostly when i was in the library completing my dreaded dissertation, i used to procrastinate and search for internships around the world. As i was studying journalism, most jobs that i had been looking at and even applying for, were all about the experience! So i decided it was time to search hard and get something lined up for when my time as a student came to an end. One google search resulted in me applying for a summer internship with the well-known and amazing IBIZA SPOTLIGHT! I hesitated at first, but then i decided there was nothing to lose! A few weeks past and i was amazed when i got word back asking to send some articles that i had written.. a short time following that i was given a date for a Skype interview and it was never in my wildest dreams that i would get to travel to the beautiful island and interview some of the best DJ's in the world whilst also reviewing the amazing clubs and experiencing the island (for the first time) in a way that people could only dream off!
I was finally told yes and was welcomed with open arms by the amazing team spotlight (who i can't thank enough) and was in for the summer of a lifetime. I travelled by myself to the island, lived with people who i know i will be friends with for life and had the best summer imaginable!
Here comes the MAJOR FAN GIRL moment.
(Any aspiring journos dream and defo one for the CV!)
Its definitly not everyday you get asked if you would like to interview HARDWELL (who you listen to alllll the time and adore since you were a teen) and then within a few days following, MARTIN GARRIX (the absolute love of your life and someone who you could only imagine being in the same venue as never mind receiving a kiss on the cheek from him and being told by him that you had a lovely accent.... STILL DYING AHH) and then also on the same week, the very talented 21-year-old, OLIVER HELDENS.... all at Ushuaia Hotel, one of the most amazing open-air venues in the world. I think you can only guess how good that week was. I'm still trying to process it right now writing this.
I had never interviewed anyone 'famous' before so the nerves took over a little! After the interviews i got to attend each of there concerts.. i remember standing in the crowd feeling like the luckiest girl in the entire world!!
I want to thank Ibiza Spotlight all over again, and dedicate this post hugely too them!!! Thank you so much James Chap, Abby, Stivi, Aimee, Ruby and David... It was an amazing summer and it was a pleasure working with you all!
For anyone reading this post.. If you need reviews on clubs, tickets, accommodation or anything... Ibiza Spotlight will have you covered!
What a summer... But, All good things must come to end.
