One of the most life changing experiences!

January 13, 2020by: Lin Nguyen - CanadaProgram: Teach English in a Homestay in France with Greenheart Travel

My experience with Greenheart Travel was an amazing one! The team is responsive, caring, and sends you a bunch of resources before, during, and after the program! They really made my trip to France so easy and helped me take care of any questions or worries I had throughout my experience. Connor was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. He really took into consideration my perspective and gave me very useful advice about my placement. When I first stumbled upon Greenheart I was a bit hesitant because it was an organization I've never heard of before, with not many reviews. However, after taking the program with them I can confirm what an excellent experience I've had. Without my stay in France I wouldn't fully understand the culture and I wouldn't have improved my french half as much. My host family really became my own, and I'm happy to say they will continue to be a part of my life. I highly recommend Greenheart to anyone who is trying to gain an awesome, immersive cultural experience.

Greenheart Travel allowed me to make my dream of living in France a reality by living with a family and teaching them English for a month. From the moment I committed to the program, the Greenheart staff were so supportive, organized, and welcoming. I highly recommend GT to anyone who wants to travel and experience a country's culture firsthand!
