I will never forget this experience!

Interning abroad was the experience of a lifetime! Adelante made it so easy to travel and intern abroad! The housing was amazing, the culture was amazing, and the chance to socialize and practice Spanish was also amazing. The internship was just regular, like any other internship, but will be a great add to my resume! I left with many friends and a beautiful summer memory! The opportunity I had to live abroad and expand my horizons was definitely life changing. I recommend this program to everyone!
