Internship/Trainee USA
Your American Adventure Starts HERE!
What Makes US Different?
We offer a transparent pricing system. Travel Bug Ltd is not a travel agent. Most other companies are more interested in tying you into expensive flights.
With us you can book your own flights saving you lots!!
We offer you a personal service where you are assigned a member of our team to assist you with the whole process.
Why Do We Work This Way?
As we said, we’ve all been there!! We know that saving even €100 can make a huge difference to your time in another country. The company was founded because more than one of us had the experience of being tied into flights with other visa agents, meaning we spent more money to be brought on silly stopovers.
I mean c’mon.. why would we spend €100 more to fly from Dublin to London, then to the USA when there are direct flights from Dublin to the USA? (Sound familiar to anyone??)
We know that everybody's situation is different so we provide a range of programs to suit your needs. Whether you would like to organise a job before you go or would rather look for one on the ground when you're in the States we can accommodate you!

What Option Is Best For Me?
Other students prefer to find an internship before they go and choose OPTION 2. They apply for jobs from Ireland and secure their position before heading to the States. This allows them to start their experience as soon as they arrive. Could this be the experience you've always dreamed of?
