Best plan for ib recruiting?

Freshman at a non-target, already completed a solid financial reporting and analysis internship last summer. Should I go for another basic finance/accounting type internship this summer, or do a summer semester abroad- about a month long- and just spend the rest of the summer working an unrelated job in my hometown. Of course I will be applying for my junior ib internship come sophomore year so this summer is the last thing before that- which one of these two options is more interesting and makes me a better candidate for ib?
