My internship with LEX changed my life!

Interning with LEX Hippo Mexico was one of the best experiences in my life. The organization's mission and values are something truly unique and special and it was enjoyable to be a part of furthering. It was an honor to share my culture with the members and meet members and interns from other countries, all while learning and sharing together. The members of LEX Hippo Mexico provided such a warm welcome and I felt immediately part of my host family and part of the staff at the office. They provided me with great opportunities to not only improve my Spanish skills, but also my public speaking, marketing, translation, and cross-cultural working skills. To this day I remain in contact with everyone I befriended on the program and only wish I had spent more than 2 months there! If you are passionate about language learning and enjoy getting to know people of all ages, this program is for you - LEX Hippo Mexico will ensure that you feel at home.
