As to what Mayray said, I've also noticed that extracurricular activities (volunteering/internship/international) count for more than what we think. My prof the other day said that employers now look for a more 'holistic' person instead of brains. With that said, do you think:

Volunteering abroad for 4 months in Sierra Leone (teaching English/hospital work)
Volunteering abroad for 1 month in India (general volunteer work)
Studying 10 months abroad in Madrid (University)

is a good portfolio for an international studies student? Should I aim for something else?

Thanks guys.

Have you already done all that voluneering? If so, that's incredibly impressive!
