I had the time of my life!
August 18, 2025by: Kaitlyn Markakis - United StatesProgram: Au Pair in Spain with The Cultural Exchange ProjectI’m so grateful for this opportunity. It was nerve-racking at first, but I’m so glad that I went for it. I met so many amazing people and my host family was amazing! I saw so many beautiful views and monuments during my time in Spain, as well as other countries I traveled to while out there. I highly recommend this to everybody who is willing to take the leap.
Thank you Kaitlyn for taking the time to leave this review. We're glad you had a positive experience. We're here anytime you need us and thank you again. It was an honour having you as a part of The Cultural Exchange Project in Spain.

I liked the reflections and practical assignments
May 31, 2025by: Robert PagliazzoProgram: TEFL Plus (A New and Better TEFL Certification)Thank you! The course required an effort on my part, as I'm not the biggest fan of online work. It had many practical topics that I felt were good to reacquaint myself with, and the units on lesson planning were especially helpful. Most of all, I liked the reflections and practical assignments that allowed me to share my ideas. I’m a classroom teacher and I’d recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching English as a second language.

I found Geovisions just by googling “Teach in Thailand” and their program sounded good, especially because it allowed me to go to Thailand early and take the TESOL course while in the country as opposed to taking it online or somewhere back in the U.S.

Up until I went to volunteer in Italy, I had never set foot outside of the United States. I had always wanted to travel, but I was extremely hesitant to take that first step and try something new. One day a friend had mentioned that we should try something new, something new like packing up and going to another country for a summer. Without any hesitation the hunt was on to find a program that was intriguing.
