Adult Gap year

November 26, 2025by: Kyla Debrito - United StatesProgram: Teach English in Spain with RVF

After spending many years in NYC it was finally the time to achieve one of my dreams. Living abroad and working on my Spanish. All though it’s only been 3 months this has been the opportunity of a life time. Thanks to RVF and their extensive assistant during the visa and bureaucratic process the whole experience has been extremely positive for me. Also they booked my TIE appointment which was the biggest help in Madrid. If you are thinking about going abroad.. DO IT! Not later now you won’t regret it and RVF is a good way to get there.

Participating in the RVF International teaching program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the very beginning, the RVF team was incredibly helpful, organized, and supportive, guiding me through every step of the process. I was placed in beautiful Granada, Spain, and my experience there exceeded all expectations. I not only improved my teaching skills but also immersed myself in Spanish culture, made lifelong friends, and became part of a wonderful community. Living and teaching abroad with RVF truly changed my life, and I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Making My Move Abroad Magical!

RVF International has been amazing every step of the way! From the moment I started the process of moving to Spain, they’ve provided clear, detailed guidance through every stage — from the visa paperwork and document preparation to coordinating with Spain’s Ministry of Education for school placement. What really sets RVF apart is their continued support after you arrive in Spain. They don’t just drop you once you get here — they stay in touch, answer questions quickly, and genuinely care that you’re adjusting well. Whether it’s help with Spanish bureaucracy, housing, or day-to-day life, they’ve been there with prompt, friendly, and reliable help. Their communication is consistent, professional, and personal. You can tell the team truly understands what it’s like to move abroad and wants you to succeed. I’ve felt supported, informed, and confident throughout the entire process. If you’re thinking about teaching or living in Spain, I highly recommend RVF International — they make what could be a stressful process feel smooth, organized, and even exciting!

What inspired me most about going to teach abroad was the opportunity to explore. I had nothing tying me back and so I kept telling myself it was now or never. There is so much of Europe that I have wanted to explore that the idea of living in Spain, so close to it all, seemed like a dream come true. I had heard that flights to many of the countries and cities I want to see were inexpensive and that made it all seem so doable. I also really wanted to practice on my Spanish and get a chance to live on my own. I had always lived with a roommate or family, and I thought this would be a great time to live by myself and really get to know more about myself. My oldest sister taught English in South Korea so that really inspired me as well.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

A typical day of work for me is answering emails, a lot of emails! I communicate with our program participants, checking up with those already in Spain and those that are just starting the applications process. Then, around mid-afternoon, we will most likely have a team meeting to go through the highs and lows of our program. We are always trying to improve and better what we are offering to our participants. Then it's back to emails and phone calls.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

I went to La Palma (one of the smaller islands in the Canary Islands) with my husband for a week, and we were blown away. The island easily appeals to any type of traveler. We particularly enjoyed the food, it was sensational. Also, we enjoyed driving to every point of the island looking for adventures.
