1. Teach English in Thailand—5 Reviews, 9.6 Rating
“Leaving to teach for a year was scary and there were many new kinds of experiences that forced me to grow as a person and pushed me to be more comfortable with myself.

2. Au Pair in France—8 Reviews, 8.8 Rating
“My experience abroad in France is one of the most memorable and unforgettable experiences I have had so far in my life. I was an au pair for a French family for three months during the summer, which was the ideal situation for me while I was on summer break from university. I was placed in a wonderful host family who was more than happy to welcome me into their family and show me their beautiful country. Certainly, the experience was not without challenges, but this is perhaps the most rewarding aspect of it all; overcoming all of the difficulties and coming out a stronger, more understanding individual. I would do it over again a hundred times. The process leading up to my arrival in France was very well organized, and I always felt comfortable with all of my trip planning and support, thanks to InterExchange. It would not have been possible without them!” Read more InterExchange reviews of this program here.

3. Work and Travel Canada— 12 Reviews, 9.4 Rating
“I always knew I wanted to visit Canada, and I'm so thankful a program like InterExchange exists. My time abroad has been spent developing my resume, increasing my cultural awareness, and having the time of my life. Canada has so much to offer and I feel lucky to be here on a work visa. I have to say, the highlight of my time abroad has been Montreal. In fact, I plan to spend the rest of my time abroad here. I found an amazing job at a start-up marketing firm, and my commute to work across this gorgeous multicultural city is truly a blessing...I love it here, and the only thing I would change is the fact that my visa is only one year long!” Read more reviews of this program here.

4. Spanish Immersion Guatemala—2 Reviews, 10.0 Rating
“I had a wonderful time doing the Spanish Immersion program through InterExchange at Maximo Nivel. I did a week but wish I had been able to stay for longer. The instructors were all very energetic and dedicated, and the Maximo Nivel office staff was always upbeat and accommodating. They also made sure you knew how to find your way to the school from your host family's house and that you were fully informed about how to navigate the city safely. My host family was also very kind and helpful. I had a private room and my host mother helped me with my Spanish, cooked two delicious meals for me each day, and made me feel like I was part of the family. I really felt like I was fully immersed in the Guatemalan culture. I hope to do this again soon.” Read more InterExchange reviews of this program here.

5. Teach English in Italy—15 Reviews, 9.3 Rating
“I traveled by myself where I had the chance to meet people from other cultures, see jaw-dropping sights and eat delicious cuisine (especially gelato). My host mom helped me with my solo travels by navigating transportation (train/bus) beforehand, where to stay and what to do while I’m there. I not only explored Italy, but the French Riviera in France, as well. I’m definitely ready to see more of the world after this experience!...I highly recommend InterExchange program. I learned new skills through teaching and tutoring, gained more confidence traveling by myself being thousands of miles away from home, and met a family who I will truly never forget. Thank you, InterExchange, for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime.” Read more reviews of this program here.
