July 10, 2026by: Eyla Myers - United StatesProgram: Observation and Research in Scotland - Adelante Abroad
My time in Scotland was absolutely incredible! So much more than expected while also changing and improving my life and who I am. It allowed me to be in a place and have the opportunity to work with animals in a new and unique setting that I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. From working with the birds to spending time with the seals and large mammals I fell in love with the SPCA!
Complete immersion into work and culture

I absolutely loved working at Vet for Pets in Falkirk! Everything from work environment, learning opportunities, and hands on experience was phenomenal. Loads of surgery shadowing time, helping to recover post op patients, and watching consults. I would recommend this opportunity to anyone interested in small animal veterinary careers! I would love to come back one day!

June 24, 2026by: Allison Counts - United StatesI learned a lot of useful information here. I did have a good time. The knowledge that i gained will definitely help me in the future and allow me to further any equine program i decide to take on. I do feel that I was a bit misled on where the program was, cost of living, and location. It started at the airport when we had an hour longer wait and no contact with anyone. No one here actually uses whatsapp, which adelante insisted we needed. There were 3 of us siting in the airport in the dark trying to figure out what to do in a foreign country with no guidance or contacts. When we arrived we were dropped off in the middle of no where with no service or information on where to go and how to get there. We had no contacts and it made for a very scary 24 hours. After that the trip went ok when we settled in. Scotland is definitely on a different time frame, very much 'island time'. When it comes to cost of living it is very expensive to get anywhere and we were not prepared properly for that. Adelante failed on that end as well. We also are in the middle of no where. We were led to believe that it was easy to get anywhere and it most definitely is not easy or cheap. So very opposite of what we were told. I had a good time in the program and it would have been fun to ride a bit more. I liked the information we learned, it was surface level, but still very beneficial.
Dear Allison, Thank you for taking the time to review the Equine program and for sharing what you gained from it. We always equip our candidates with everything they need to know before departure, both in writing and during orientation, so they can plan for exactly the questions you raised. Not to mention, we are always willing to help and adjust to whatever concerns come up during the trip, when things are communicated to us in real time. Our pre-departure prep and on the ground support includes: - All candidates receive an arrival spreadsheet showing when everyone lands and when the shuttle van runs on arrival day (there are multiple trips to accommodate everyone), along with a map of the airport. - Our in-country Director's contact information is provided 30 days before departure and they are reachable on WhatsApp throughout arrival day. We cover information on the cost of living, including costs of getting around Scotland and the location and travel time to the campus, in our three Zoom meetings, in the university orientation, and throughout other pre-program materials. - Our HQ team sends check-in emails throughout each program, along with our in-country Directors checking in face to face as well. Regarding the location, we completely agree that the campus is rural and not the easiest to access. But this is intended, because it's a working land-based animal sciences college. We're glad the program was a good experience once you settled in, and that the knowledge you gained will carry into your future equine work. We wish you the best in all that comes next.

I wanted to study abroad all throughout school, but being on the board for several organizations as well as an athlete, I didn't want to abandon those. A friend did a program over a summer in London, but I had always wanted to go to Spain. I decided upon graduation that I would work and save up some money, and then why not get some international experience, enhance my Spanish, and live something not many people get to do, before I tried to land my first job.

My university encourages internships to supplement our academic experience, and for my major I am required to have an international experience. So, an internship abroad was the perfect way to fulfill this requirement and get a great experience. I’ve been learning Spanish for many years and wanted to work on my language skills in a real-life situation. Plus, I had heard great things about Barcelona and wanted to explore a new city.
