Experience of a Lifetime

September 10, 2026Maxwell Aitken - United States

Studying abroad aboard Argo en route from Fiji to Bali (via Palau) was an experience I don't think I will ever forget. In addition to academics I also learned how to sail, how to scuba dive, and (I think most importantly) how to live and thrive in unique and seemingly uncomfortable conditions. The program is one of a kind, as are all the people who you will embark on it alongside. I loved it!

Discovering My Favorite Medical Specialty

September 10, 2026Sophia Lee - United States

Hi. My name is Sophia and I am from Arizona. I chose a medical internship to explore different possibilities in the medical field and to kind of shadow and gain experience in a hospital. Something very exciting here was looking at different specialties. My favourite was Orthopedics, which was the highlight of this trip. The coordination was really good. It was very easy getting around. It was all very simple. Athens was gorgeous, it’s a very interesting place, so I would come back.

Two weeks in Kansai

September 09, 2026Elon Bridgen - United Kingdom

From beginning to end my time in Kansai was bloody amazing. Osaka is bustling with great food choices and activities day & night. The teachers at Meiji did a wonderful job and were supportive throughout my studies. Big shout to Akira for taking me around the city and also the spa world trip was awesome. Highly recommend!

The BEST decision ever!

This program changed my life for the better! I was so sad to leave but will be eternally grateful to this program for the experiences and connections I made. Whether you are looking to build your resume, meet new people, or just explore a new country, Intern Colombia is the program to go with. The internship placement process is incredibly easy, every person I interacted with as part of the program was incredibly kind, and there are so many activities planned out for the cohorts. I got to see and experience so much of Colombia and it is all thanks to this program. I made friendships that will last a lifetime and every single moment was filled with joy. Take the leap and join!

My TEFL Learning Journey

September 09, 2026shahir beukes - South Africa

My experience with the TEFL course has been rewarding and enriching. As someone who is passionate about teaching, I found the course to be a valuable opportunity to develop my knowledge and improve my teaching skills. One of the most important things I learned was how to plan lessons that are engaging, interactive, and suitable for learners with different needs and abilities. The course helped me understand that teaching English is not only about explaining grammar and vocabulary, but also about creating a supportive environment where learners feel comfortable, confident, and motivated to participate. I enjoyed discovering new ways to make English lessons more engaging and enjoyable for learners. The course also helped me reflect on my own teaching practices. I gained a deeper understanding of the importance of clear communication, and adapting lessons to suit individual learners. This has strengthened my confidence in supporting learners who may struggle with English. Overall, the TEFL course has expanded my understanding of language education and renewed my motivation to continue growing as an educator. I would recommend it to anyone interested in teaching English or improving their teaching abilities. It is a worthwhile learning experience .I enjoyed discovering new ways to make English lessons more engaging and enjoyable for learners.

Proud to have successfully completed my TEFL course.

Eye opening

September 09, 2026Emily Roberts - Netherlands

I had a wonderful experience with the Marine Conservation Volunteer Project in Kilifi, Kenya. The entire program was very well organized, and everything was clearly planned from the beginning. The team was welcoming, professional, and supportive throughout the experience. I particularly enjoyed being involved in marine conservation activities and learning more about the local environment and the importance of protecting our oceans. The project offered a great balance between meaningful conservation work and experiencing the beautiful Kenyan coast and local community. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a well-organized, impactful, and rewarding volunteering experience

The Best Intern Abroad Experience

September 09, 2026Melia Piloske - United States

My experience with Sage Corps was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in college. I interned in Madrid, Spain, as a Business Development and Sales Intern, where I worked on customer outreach, sales, market research, social media, and client relationships. One of the biggest things I gained was learning how to adapt to a new culture. At first, I struggled with the different communication styles in Spain, but over time I became more comfortable and learned how important it is to be open-minded and adaptable. I also loved the experiences outside of my internship, especially the Toledo trip, group dinners, and Bernabeu Tour. Getting to explore Spain while meeting other students made the experience even more memorable. I would highly recommend Sage Corps because it gives you the chance to gain real professional experience while immersing yourself in another culture. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone and helped me grow both personally and professionally.

An unforgettable summer in Barcelona

September 09, 2026Lilliana Miranda - United States

My Sage Corps experience in Barcelona was one of the most meaningful experiences of my college career. The program gave me the opportunity to live and work abroad while gaining hands-on experience at a startup, where I worked on sales, business development, outreach, research, content creation, and marketing projects. I appreciated that I was given real responsibilities and the opportunity to explore different areas of the company, which helped me better understand my professional strengths and interests. Sage Corps also did a great job creating opportunities for us to experience Barcelona beyond our internships. Our City Managers, Pamela and Mikel, were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout the program. They gave us great recommendations, made the scheduled events fun, and most importantly made me feel safe while living abroad. They organized a variety of activities and excursions for our cohort throughout the program, including visits to Mirador Torre Glòries, Park Güell, and a day trip to Sitges, just to name a few. These experiences gave us the chance to explore more of Barcelona, learn about the culture, and make memories together outside of work. Living abroad challenged me to become more independent, adaptable, and confident. I returned home with new professional skills, meaningful friendships, unforgettable memories, and a clearer sense of what I want from my future career. I would absolutely recommend Sage Corps to students who want international work experience while also immersing themselves in a new culture.

The course is perfect!

September 09, 2026Nidhi Nangia - India

I have thoroughly enjoyed my TEFL course with TTA and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well structured and comprehensive programme. What I particularly appreciate is the balance the course strikes. It covers everything you genuinely need to know without overwhelming you with irrelevant information. The level of difficulty is just right too. It is challenging enough that you have to stay engaged and actually put in the work, but not so demanding that you feel you need to quit your job to keep up with it! Another thing that really stands out is how well the course is presented. The content is clear, organised and easy to follow, which makes learning a lot more enjoyable and manageable. And I must especially commend TTA for having such a great job support system in place. Knowing that there is genuine support beyond simply completing the course adds tremendous value and makes the whole experience feel much more worthwhile. Thank you, TTA, for putting together such a thoughtful, practical and well presented course!

Once in a lifetime expierience!

I had the privilege to have studied abroad in Sevilla with world strides and had the best semester of my life! The culture in Sevilla was amazing, and World Strides really embedded us in it. The kindness at the office really made me feel at home. Couldn't recommend it enough!
