Road2Argentina

I loved my internship with Directorio Legislativo, but what really made the program was being able to live in Buenos Aires. I loved using the extensive city public transport, having almost everything accessible within a 5 min. walking radius, and going out at night! Road2Argentina offers great support to your specific needs. The people who lead the program will help you with whatever you need at anytime if it’s figuring out public transport, adapting to cultural differences, or helping to plan an excursion.

I was in Argentina with Road2Argentina for two months, but I wish I could've stayed longer with how much fun I was having at my internship and with the group. I gained a lot of new friends from the other students completing the program, and still talk to them today. The internship I completed was so much fun and gave me a lot of good experience and lessons. I ended up becoming so close to my coworkers I was so sad to leave them after the 8 weeks. My whole experience wouldn't have been as memorable as it was without them and Road2Argentina!

I spent 2 months in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as part of an internship with my university in partnership with Road2Argentina. It was the best experience I have ever had! Every day was a new adventure, learning new things, meeting new people and creating amazing memories that I will always keep with me. Mateo and David were always available to answer my questions or any concerns I had, they helped me with the process before heading to Argentina and also when I got to the country. I would always recommend Road2Argentina to whoever might want to travel abroad! Even though I was thousands of miles from home, I never felt alone, I had a community of people I could always count on!

It was an amazing experience where I met many people from a variety of different cultures and outlooks on life, making lifelong friends in the process. I developed both professionally and personally through the placement at a camp teaching english, coordinated by Road2Argentina for pre placement advice and contacts. I also experienced the argentine culture through the variety of different free activities provided by David and Mateo at Road2Argentina. (my favourites were La Bomba del Tiempo and Fuerza Bruta, as well as seeing the exhibition of Campeon del Mundo- unforgettable)

My time in Buenos Aires, working with Road2Argentina was truly incredible and unforgettable. My Spanish improved significantly, I met incredible people and felt immersed in a wonderful city. R2A's activities were very fun and immersive. I had constant support and help whenever I needed it.

As an engineering student I chose the internship to broaden my horizons and have international experience for my CV. From the start the organisation was excellent with great communication meaning that I never felt out of my depth or lacking in support. Buenos Aires is a fantastic city to visit and work in with very friendly people who are glad to see international students helping with their projects. The social aspects were well planned making it easy to enjoy what the city has to offer, including a traditional asado (Argentine barbeque), the Van Gogh interactive show, wine tasting and a tour of the city landmarks. I gained many experiences that have helped develop my character and have lots of memories that I will treasure and have been able to use socially and in personal statements and interviews.

The summer I spent in Buenos Aires, Argentina was nothing short of spectacular. From the warmth and friendliness of the people, to the quality and variety of food, the city felt honestly more safe and welcoming than most cities in my home country. It is hard not to be amazed by the stunning, century old architecture in an increasingly modernizing city, as well as the art, music, and culture that capture the essence of Buenos Aires. Outside of the city, it is relatively affordable and easy to travel around the area. Take a taxi or riverboat to the town of Tigre, go to a traditional cattle ranch to meet a Gaucho, or take a ferry across the river to Uruguay. Argentina itself has so many cool places to visit, all of which can be reached from Buenos Aires. With places like Iguazu Falls, The Mendoza wine region, and Patagonia, Argentina has something for everyone. Whether you consider yourself a foodie, adventurer, city slicker, or a cowboy, check out Argentina and I promise you will not be disappointed.

I made the decision to do a 6 month internship in Sustainable Development with Road2Argentina for my placement at University. From the first day I arrived Mateo and David made me feel comfortable and safe in a city that was so far from home. Any concerns I had were answered within the first day I arrived and from that day they were available to call 24/7 no matter the problem. I chose the shared apartment option and was placed with a lovely relaxed family that lived in the heart of Palermo which made going out with friends very convenient. If you are concerned about your Spanish level before applying, don't let this be a barrier! There are many schools around the city which you can go to and they also act as a great way to make new friends. I arrived with little to no knowledge in Spanish and left almost being able to speak it fluently. My internship immediately exposed me to sustainability projects from all across South America and the knowledge and life skills I gained from this experience are invaluable. It has only been since returning back to London and having interviews with different companies have I realised just how valuable this experience has been and how much it makes you stand out when applying for jobs. If you have any queries please don't hesitate to get in contact with Mateo or David and ask for my contact details and I will happily speak in more depth about what to expect in Buenos Aires and what you can gain from doing an internship here before you apply. The thing that makes Road2Argentina so special is how personal it is. Unlike other companies that operate in this market, Road2 feels much more like a family and will cater to your every need to make this a truly amazing experience. It wont be long before I return to Argentina and in Mateo and David I have found lifelong friends and I can't wait to see them again.

I recently went to Buenos Aires through the Road Programme and loved every moment of it! Mateo and David were extremely kind and help me to get settled in Buenos Aires. It was a daunting experience at first, but with their help and the fun socials that they organised I was able to make the most out of my time there! They helped me with the commute from my flat to work, SIM card, transaction advice and much more. They also provided me with some great advice on travelling to Iguazu; including the best airlines to use, places to stay, etc. I would certainly recommend others to use Road2Argentina as their personal touch provides a far more valuable experience and they were always there for me when I needed it!

I spent 8 weeks volunteering at a fantastic NGO in charge of finding housing solutions for families without access to decent housing. The whole experience was amazing, the program was perfectly organized. They give you a fabulous welcome kit!

My experience with Leren Consulting was phenomenal. As a person who is from a completely different country and culture from the company, the Leren team made me feel at home. They always made sure to involve me in conversations and ensure that I understood correctly. In addition, the work I did was not only within my studies, but it was quite fun to do and complete and they were able to give me feedback on my stuff and even post it. I wish to work with Leren again because they foster a very healthy work environment and atmosphere.

For the Summer of 2020, I was an intern at Mensajeros de la Paz in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mateo and David were very helpful in making sure that I was satisfied with my placement. Communication between myself and them and myself and the Mensajeros de la Paz coordinators was frequent and supportive. I learned a lot from this experience and improved many skills that I will be able to apply to future experiences. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants an international internship experience (remote or otherwise!)

I did a three month internship in Buenos Aires through Road2Argentina and this was an experience I will never forget. I arranged it through Road2Argentina and the process went really smooth and easy. First we talked through Skype and we tried to find a suitable internship. I ended up at an amazing lovely marketing company operating in a beautiful part of Buenos Aires (Palermo Soho). This company was a young hip and modern company in an amazing neighbourhood. Next to this, Mateo and David (the owners of Road2Argentina) Arranged every week at least 2 really nice local events for me and other interns. Events to get to know the city, the culture, the country. Every week we could let them know if we would be able and willing to participate. Through this I’ve met other interns and even friends and family from Mateo and David. This was really nice to get to know the city better and an addition to my experience. They also provided a lot of information regarding safety, money, where to go, where to live and what to do or not. During my time, I could reach them always when I needed to. Either serious cases or non serious. I am really happy they helped me with creating this amazing opportunity and memory for me. Also Argentina is an amazing country to travel through. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city with amazing parties and culture. In Argentina you can travel to Salta and Patagonia, which is unbelievable beautiful. When choosing Road2Argentina, you will have a good time, for sure! Thanks again Mateo and David, nos vemos en futuro ❤️

My 12-week internship in Buenos Aires was awesome. This experience changes my personal and professional life. There is so much good about Buenos Aires. Tango, football, food, street art, European style architecture, culture, museums, history... are amazing! About the job, I was in a good company. I got to meet funny and open-minded people who are passionate about their job. I have learned so much with those people related to my field of study. I worked on nice and interesting projects. About the program, Each time I needed help, the coordinators were able to help me. They always had nice activities to relax and have fun in my free times. I definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants to experience a job abroad and enhance his resume while having fun and learning about all the amazing stuff this city has.

I had a great time in Buenos Aires interning with the law firm! It was a great opportunity to work right under the CEO and the other co-workers. I got the chance to look over a variety of legal documents and familiarize myself with the legal jargon. And I also got to practice my networking skills along with my presentation and team working skills. Apart from the internship, I also had an amazing time living in Buenos Aires with the host, meeting people and exploring the city with them, and taking independent trips back outside of Buenos Aires like in Patagonia, Mendoza, and Iguazu Falls. I honestly had the best time on these trips. I definitely came back with a lot of great memories.

My internship in Buenos Aires was one of the best abroad trips I have ever taken. I had no type of feeling of it at the beginning other than a slight nervousness. I was kind of iffy on the placement but as it continued it grew on me and it helped me decide what I want to do in the future. Although, I still am unsure what I want to do as a career choice this internship allowed me to explore options that I can do once I graduate. I was once interested in going into law but my placement, which was at a technology law firm, has ensured me that I will not be going into law any time soon. Outside of my internship, my adventures were quite appealing. Each trip has its own place in my head as they were each unique. I cannot wait to come back to explore more of Buenos Aires and to enhance my Spanish speaking skills.

An internship through Road 2 Argentina is the perfect experience because it provides a student with valuable work experience, as well as the most fun time of their life. I would recommend this program to anyone. Buenos Aires is a very dynamic city and Argentina is a gorgeous country, as a whole. The program provided me with activities, friends, and insights, which gave me the confidence to explore different parts and do different things. I'll never forget the memories I made and the people I met in Buenos Aires. Those 16 weeks were the best thing that could've happened to me.

My internship experience started off far from ideal with a lot of tension and a terrible environment in the workplace. The program director was able to solve this problem quickly upon request and find a new placement for me. Because there are not many program attendees at a time, It seemed as though many group activities were planned on the spur of the moment; however, most of them were very entertaining.

I spent 3 months from March - June with Road2Argentina, working in AMUMRA (Asociacion de Mujeres Unidas, Migrantes y Refugiadas de Argentina) and living in Palermo. It was the most testing, fulfilling and beautiful 3 months of my life; going abroad to somewhere in South America is difficult - things don't work the same out there at all and you really are in control of how your experience works for you, meaning you have to be a lot more courageous and independent than you would need to be in the UK or the US. The programme convenors, Mateo and David, grew to be amazing friends of mine, I miss them, love them and I'm counting down the days until I can return to Argentina after my degree because for me, 3 months was not enough at all. My work was not for the faint hearted, as I mentioned previously, the way of life is different in Argentina and it is normal to have a work schedule that changes or not have facilities up to the normal standard, however the women I met and worked with were the funniest and bravest group of women I have ever met and spending time with them, learning about South America, was so amazing and a dream come true. If you are someone who is not afraid of leaving their comfort zone, wants to learn about other cultures, loves amazing steak, wine, travelling, scenery and beautiful people, then Argentina is the place for you and it is one of those places that never leaves your heart.
