Great way to be immersed in another language. Had a brilliant time!

August 08, 2026Aiden Lindsay - Scotland

The home stay was great, felt very welcome always and the food was great. My lessons were well organised and the teachers were always passionate in helping me improve, and felt like I improved a lot in only 3 weeks. Great experience overall, and i would recommend to anyone that wants to learn a new language.

amazing opportunity to grow

August 08, 2026John Avasapian - United States

I had a great time volunteering for this program. I did not know what to expect from Cusco and it was a cool way to throw myself out there and get out of my comfort zone. For people solo travelling alone, this program made it easy and comforting to do. I learned a lot and had lots of hands on experience.

Medical volunteering

August 08, 2026Braeden Chipman - United States

I really enjoyed my volunteer experience with Maximo Nivel at the nursing home. The staff was welcoming, supportive, and made me feel like part of the team. While it wasn’t quite the hands-on medical experience I was expecting, it was still incredibly rewarding to spend time with the residents and learn more about the local culture and healthcare environment. The experience reminded me that compassionate care is about more than medical procedures. Overall, I had a great time, met amazing people, and would recommend this program to anyone looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity in Costa Rica.

Life Changing Experience!

August 07, 2026Jade Willing - United States

I had the wonderful opportunity to study abroad in Malaga for the month of June, and I would recommend it to anyone considering it. There are a multitude of reasons why studying abroad is beneficial, but it is important to figure out why it's best for you. For me, being abroad gave me the time to learn new skills of independence and learn more about myself. It taught me how to be self-sufficient and to really grow into who I am. Additionally, Malaga was the most amazing city. It was relatively close to many other popular travel destinations (Sevilla, Granada, Nerja) and very accessible to other destinations via public transportation (for example, I went to Madrid on the train). There were endless options of amazing things to do, whether that be shop, go to the beach (there are SEVERAL nearby), hike, go to museums, etc. I also really enjoyed improving and practicing my Spanish. I came in with an already high base level of knowledge, but I got to improve my skills significantly. The best part of the trip was the amazing excursions we got to go on. Our resident director was amazing and all of the excursions were planned out perfectly with adequate time for us to do some exploring on our own as well. 10/10 would recommend!

I <3 Malaga!

The Intern Group Experience

August 07, 2026Sofia Theye - United States

I had a good experience with The Intern Group during my summer internship in Spain. They made the process of moving to a new country and starting an internship easier by providing support throughout the experience. My internship gave me valuable professional experience and allowed me to build on my skills. Beyond the internship, living in Madrid was an amazing opportunity to experience a new culture, meet new people, and travel around Europe. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Intern Group to anyone looking to gain work experience abroad while having an unforgettable summer experience.

Overall, this internship gave me practical experience that supports my university studies and has better prepared me for my future career in finance.

This internship was a valuable experience that gave me practical exposure to the finance and operations side of the villa management industry. I enjoyed being able to work on real tasks, including financial reporting, data analysis, and learning how business decisions are made in a growing company. It was rewarding to see how the work I completed contributed to the team's daily operations. Beyond developing my technical skills, the internship also helped me grow professionally. I became more confident working in a business environment, improved my communication skills, and gained experience collaborating with colleagues from different backgrounds. Living and working in Bali also broadened my perspective and strengthened my adaptability. Overall, this internship gave me practical experience that supports my university studies and has better prepared me for my future career in finance.

Wonderful 6-months internship

August 07, 2026Sara Bressan - Switzerland

I spent six months in Bangkok on an internship organized through AIP, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. AIP played a vital role in advancing my professional path: they handled every detail with great efficiency and successfully placed me with an excellent company that aligned perfectly with my career goals. ​The apartment provided for the entire duration of my stay was in a highly convenient location, making daily commuting and exploring the city effortless. I am especially grateful to my coordinator, Nisha, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the process. She was always available to assist me with any concerns or questions, regardless of the time of day. I highly recommend AIP to anyone looking for a seamless, well-supported overseas internship!

Best experience ever!

August 07, 2026Victoria Marcene - Brazil

The experience of volunteering at Daktari was incredible. The discipline of sticking to a schedule, caring for the animals, and supporting the children during lessons is something truly special. Although my time here was short, those days were excellent. The environment is comfortable, the food is delicious, the other volunteers are welcoming, the educational system is highly efficient, and the animals are very well cared for. I thank the company Exchange do Bem for providing this experience with full support and guidance, and I also thank the Daktari family for welcoming me and teaching me so much during these seven days of volunteering.

Nice time with the girls
