Sophomore Summer Internship vs Travel

I'm a sophomore who is currently interning at a PWM firm. I have no other experience to add to my resume except this. Aside from this, I am attending an Ivy "target" school as a transfer next semester. However, I have the opportunity to travel all across Europe this summer, and I'm confused whether I should travel all summer or try to find another internship at a local firm, maybe a boutique IB. Any ideas? Thanks!

 

My personal choice would be: go traveling. A summer in Europe at your age might just be the very best few months of your life. Of course, interning might be beneficial for your resume, but honestly, who gives a fuck? Always remember the long term goal: work to live, not live to work.
