Highly recommend the experience
December 12, 2025James Machado - United StatesProvider: The Intern Group
Program: International Internships in Madrid
My time abroad was truly a great experience. I interned in Madrid which is a great city, I highly recommend interning here if you can. Furthermore, the people I met and worked with along the way were amazing and they made my time here extra special. The culture was awesome and I really enjoyed some of the events that the Intern Group puts on. They are a great way to meet a bunch of new people from many different walks of life and the events themselves are really fun. They also provide insider information about Madrid that will help to visit other places in the city that might not have been on your radar or on your list to visit had it not been for these events. The nightlife in the city is spectacular but if that’s not your thing there are so many different things to do in Madrid I honestly would find it hard to believe that somebody couldn’t love it. I only experienced two drawbacks during my time in Madrid that had to do with the Intern Group. Firstly, I along with others I know experienced gaps in communication in regards to move-in dates, problem solving, and other administrative stuff. Support staff often took very long to respond to general questions and urgent emails alike which made it very frustrating to try and problem solve if something were to come up. Furthermore, there were issues here and there with housing but overall the housing I was placed in was great. Again, I highly recommend studying abroad through an internship, whether it be in Madrid or elsewhere. I think an internship gives the unique experience of having a job instead of being in school and prepares you for a professional working environment in ways that nothing else could, especially not a semester of school.
Highly recommend!

Program: Intensive Chinese Group Class in 5 Cities | That's Mandarin
If you're hesitating to join this school, do not anymore! I highly recommend coming to That's Mandarin (especially Hangzhou school) to learn Chinese. I had the best experience in learning Chinese, getting to know the city and its surrounding. The teachers are very professional and the nicest people ever, always ready to help and have fun with you. The school also offers a lot of other activities (KTV, hiking, badminton or football games). Come here if you want to learn Chinese and have fun at the same time! :)

Love That's Mandarin Hanzghou

Program: Intensive Chinese Group Class in 5 Cities | That's Mandarin
I love learning at That's Mandarin Hangzhou ! Bessie is a fantastic teacher, the program seems to be on a very good level for me as I am only struggling a little bit - it's not way too difficult and not too easy Cecily was also a good substitute teacher . Love the fact that there are many activities, the faculty is very welcoming and engaging and the schools seems to actively promote a wholesome social culture that facilitates student-to-student bonding as well as faculty-to-student bonding

An amazing opportunity

I learned so much during my year abroad in Germany. I had a great host family and experience in Berlin. I made so many international friends and connections in Germany. It is an eye-opening experience that I believe everyone should partake in.

Destination TEFL was an incredible experience from start to finish. The course was practical, inspiring, and far more useful than I expected. Every lesson and activity was thoughtfully designed to prepare us for real classrooms and real students.A huge thank you to Willie for his guidance and encouragement.The atmosphere throughout the course was positive and uplifting, making the entire journey enjoyable and rewarding. I left with practical tools, stronger teaching skills, and a renewed passion for education. Highly recommended!

Living Abroad in Spain
December 11, 2025Kaitlyn Mink - United StatesProvider: RVF International
Program: Teach English in Spain with RVF
Moving to Spain right after graduating college in June felt like a huge leap, but it’s easily become one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I knew I wanted a change and a chance to grow, and teaching in Madrid has given me exactly that and so much more. The RVF team made the entire process unbelievably smooth, answering any questions I had, and I had a lot. From visa appointments to housing questions, they were always there to guide me, which took so much stress off my plate. Instead of worrying about every little detail, I was able to actually enjoy the excitement of starting a new chapter in a different country. Living in Madrid has been incredible. I’ve learned so much about Spanish culture, picked up new routines, explored beautiful neighborhoods, and met people who now feel like family. Teaching has been rewarding in ways I didn’t expect, my students make every day meaningful, and being in the classroom has pushed me to grow both professionally and personally. If you’re considering taking the leap, my honest advice is: do it. You truly never know how much a year abroad can change you until you’re living it. This experience has already shaped me in ways I’ll carry with me forever.

An environment with amazing culture
December 11, 2025Laura Zaviziena - CanadaProvider: Cerca Abroad
Program: Medical Shadowing in Greece
Hi, I am Laura, I am from Canada and I chose this internship because I am interested in medicine and I really enjoyed it so far. There’s been a lot of shadowing through this experience, I’ve seen certain operations, I’ve visited some patients and everyone has been really nice to me. The coordination was well done. The culture was amazing.

A month to remember
