On September 1st, I start an Internship abroad for an entire semester. This is all new for me and I don't know where to start. I have just passed this semester and everything has to be done in a hurry. Here is my situation;
I got approved for a 330 euro scholarship p/month. I receive 90 euros for traveling costs. p/month I get about 350 euros a month as a student loan p/month (I can increase this up to 600, no interest rate) In the case of emergency, I can also ask for a small amount from my parents. I did have savings, but spent them on my driver's license and have some invested in cryptocurrencies which I don't want to touch.
I have 3 part-time jobs that I can not attend for 6 months in my home country, I lose up to 400-500 euros in loan payments p/month. So money, when I get back, might also be an issue.
My biggest concerns are how to find cheap accommodation. I have signed up for an agency that will actively look for internships I can attend, however, I need to fill in 2 preferred countries. I don't really care where I do the internship as in the country, but it is important I go somewhere CHEAP, in accommodation and in living costs. I hope to become more self-sustainable and learn how to survive on my own. However, I realize I can not start on a bad note and therefore I am here, asking PF for some much-needed help!
So basically, where do I go, what costs should I expect, and how should I prepare for this massive opportunity in my life?
