Adelante Abroad

This was my second time doing an Adelante program, and it was once again an incredible experience. My experience with Adelante the second time around was even greater! The Ecuador program is truly an excellent opportunity to immerse oneself in Ecuadorian culture, become fluent in Spanish, and gain valuable work experience. Adelante connects you with talented Spanish teachers who make learning Spanish practical and fun. The housing was in a perfect location, and the host family was welcoming and kind. My internship in Quito was enriching. I learned a lot in my two months, and I was able to work outside in the city and with the community as well. I had a great time, and Adelante helped everything run smoothly and safely.

This whole experience with Adelante Abroad was an absolute blast. I was able to learn so much about the game of golf and I now have a much deeper appreciation for the sport after being able to experience the home of golf first hand. We were able to play many nice courses for discounted rates and managed to golf almost every day we were there. I also loved coaching the school kids because they were very into the activities we had planned. The city of St. Andrews is very nice and I loved calling it home for a month.

Adelante placed me with a company very tailored to my interests--something that involved both Criminology and Psychology. I learned a good bit about how such systems function in Spain, and everyone at my foundation was very welcoming. I'm glad I chose this experience to widen my perspective on the world.
