Vacation during Internship?

Hello everyone,

I am starting an internship at a pensions fund's real estate arm. With Covid laws, the first 1-2 months of my internship has been pushed to online.

Since I am working online, I was wondering how my employers/bosses would view spending the first 1-2 weeks of my internship in like Mexico at a resort or something. Obviously, I would still put in all hours required for the internship. Nowhere in my contract does it state that I would need to be in the host country of the job (but the contract was for in-person).

Thank you!

If you are set on going, make sure to take monitors with you. Working on a laptop alone will derail your efficiency and they'll likely question your dedication. Other then that you should be fine - just don’t bring it up.
