Conversation Coach - Madrid, Spain

June 27, 2014by: EHD

I had an amazing experience living with a Spanish family and teaching English in Madrid for three months. I made life-long friends from around the world, enhanced my Spanish speaking skills, and visited many cities throughout Spain and Portugal. I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in travel, open to experiencing a new culture, and has 1-3 months to spare.

So glad you enjoyed the experience! As a two-year alumni I hope you continue to find new ways to build upon your experiences in Spain. Perhaps we'll have the chance to welcome you on a new program. Until then, safe travels from InterExchange!

Au Pair in Australia

October 01, 2014by: EnyainAussie - Guelph

This was the best experience of my life. InterExchange matched me with the perfect family, assisted me with every step of my applications and offered a safety net for me on the other side of the world. The rest was left up to me. I had to make my own friends, learn my own way around, pay my own way. I would always suggest an organisation like this if you're considering being an au pair. It's just too risky without it. But really it's only there during your application and if anything should go wrong during. It's not a full support system. Which was perfect for me. I learned a lot.

So glad the experience went well and that you felt coming through InterExchange to be the correct move. We aim for the strongest support and it's always nice to get confirmation that this is happening. Thank you! ~James (InterExchange)

The Time of My Life

This was the best experience of my life. I have always wanted to travel to Spain and InterExchange provided me with the opportunity to do so. I made new friends and became apart of a new family. I was able to make an impact on the children that I worked with, improve my Spanish and tour other parts of Europe. I am still in contact with my host family, so that one day I will be able to go back and visit. I will never forget the summer that I lived in Madrid.

Thank you Monique. We hope you continue to reflect happily on your time with your hosts in Madrid, and that you find time to be in touch with them still! We're grateful for our small part in helping you achieve your dream of travel to Spain!

As a child, I traveled a bit with my family from living in The Netherlands to visiting family in Greece. As I got older, I loved it more and more and during my junior year of college I studied abroad in Florence, Italy where the travel bug really bit me. I traveled quite a bit and after my semester ended I extended my stay and traveled for three weeks. After graduating, I took a solo trip to Australia for a month, had a wonderful experience and fell in love with solo traveling. Upon returning home I couldn't shake the feeling that I wanted to spend more time abroad so I worked a few part-time jobs, lived at home, saved my money and decided to be an Au Pair in Madrid, Spain. I wanted to live abroad for a little and work so that I could integrate myself in the community and lifestyle.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

It was one of the most meaningful professional and personal experiences of my life. I’ve always valued diversity and been interested in other cultures, and after a year living and teaching in South Korea, working alongside Korean teachers and connecting with Korean students, I came away with an understanding of the culture that no book, film, or tourist trip could provide.
