Finding an internship in a new country, where you don’t have a network of connections and barely know the job market, is an overwhelming task. Add to that the pressure of adapting to a new setting and juggling lectures, assignments, and exams, you may find it difficult not to spread yourself too thin. Difficult, apparently, but not impossible. As with other things with which I have a hard time, I asked those wiser than me, people who have been through this process before, for advice.
