Testimonials

Work England

“I loved working with the people and the atmosphere of the pub. It gave me a personal look at the English culture. At the same time, I was able to look at what I really wanted my life to be. I met people and made friends that hopefully I will continue to keep in contact with for years to come.” –Lillian Cook

“Everything was great, I was nervous when I first got there and wasn’t sure if I had made the right decision coming over by myself. But once I met the people I would be staying with, I felt more at home in the area. Not only were the people I worked/traveled with extremely nice and fun; my job was great as well. It was a great experience and I think anyone that has the time to travel and also make some money while doing it, should.”
–Jessica Blanchard

Australia Work and Travel

“Living in Sydney for the past four months was more than amazing; I have a hard time even knowing where to start when I try to explain it to my friends and family. Alliance Abroad made the process of traveling abroad very easy and I felt safe knowing that they would be there to help if I should need anything being so far away from my family. I met some great people and make memories that I will always remember. The only thing I can think of next is what Alliance Abroad program I will participate in next.” – Nicole DiGuilio
Australia Work Outback

“There is not enough time or space to describe the fantastic experience that I had on a million acre cattle station. I participated in everything from branding, castrating, horn tipping, ear marking, ear tagging, and mustering cattle. The outback, in my opinion, is the last wild frontier and I enjoyed every minute of it.” – John Shaw

“Everyone is friendly and helpful out here, definitely no worries! It is also such a relaxing atmosphere out here as well, which is completely different from my life in New York. I’ve actually had to adjust to this and learn how to slow down – which I think is very good for me and I prefer this much better!” – Jessica Tepora
“Things here are really good. My training week last week was awesome! I learned how to ride a motorbike, drive a manual car, drive a tractor, use a chain saw to cut down trees, make/repair barbed wire fences, and muster cattle on horseback. It was fun!” – Meg Reinhardt

Teach Spain

“I am almost done with the trip and I don’t want it to end. Everything has gone fantastically. I have experienced the craziest things ever! The culture, flamenco, language, the festivals…I even dated a bullfighter! I loved every second of it.” - Alison
“Overall I had a great experience. My host family was great and I was free to do whatever I desired. The city is definitely yours to explore and make the most of, which I definitely did.” - Sinead Kerr

Teach China

“I had a lot of fun teaching the Chinese children English at the kindergarten school, since I was given a lot of freedom teaching what I wanted to teach and what I felt what of importance for children at a very young age. I was also given a place to stay quite near the school itself, which was very convenient.” – Arin Keshishian

“For me, the most positive aspect of my experience was the direct contact with the Chinese people I interacted with. Being able to be productive and engaged (teaching English), while also experiencing a new culture and everything that entails, made this experience unique and memorable. My experience in China was very educational- I learned a lot about being a teacher, as well as a student to a new country. I was highly impressed with the support network within Alliance Abroad Group.” -- Leeann Sit

Teach Argentina

“I loved working in the school as a teacher’s helper and think it’s a very worthwhile position. I have fallen in love with teaching and Argentina and hope to come back soon!” – Sarah Moore

Volunteer Ecuador

“I think Alliance Abroad does a wonderful job of finding places abroad and providing good orientation information. During the mornings I worked at the Tortoise center, and later switched to the elementary school. Other time was spent on the beach, reading, touring, and hanging out with other volunteers. I met a lot of amazing people and really got comfortable living in the town. I would absolutely recommend a program in the Galapagos Islands.” - Sophia Wagner-Serrano
“I absolutely love the culture, the people and the goof. It’s all amazing! My work here in the hospital is awesome. I got to scrub in on a c-section yesterday and actually helped deliver the baby! I am having such a great time!” -- Lauren Bruns

“I had an internship at Teleamazonas, a national news station. I was immediately accepted and was invited to every occasion imaginable. My accommodations really felt like home, and my classes were fascinating. The one-on-one teaching taught me more that I ever thought I could learn in 3 weeks. I have absolutely no complaints about my trip, and would recommend Alliance Abroad to anyone ready for a life-changing experience.” - Kathryn Visser
“I had a great time in Quito. I met a lot of interesting people, improved my Spanish, and grew as a person. Being self-sufficient and conquering the everyday fears of interacting with an unfamiliar culture by myself left me with confidence, a sense of adventure, and self-assurance that will last me a lifetime.” – Leah Landes

Volunteer Peru

“"Everything once I arrived in Peru exceeded my expectations. My host family was absolutely amazing and they will remain life-long friends. I loved every moment in Peru and learned more than I thought possible. I was only there for two months but would have stayed for years. I am extremely grateful for Alliance Abroad for making it possible for me to volunteer in Peru." – Laura Sturgess

“I would not have traded this experience for anything! I think it was better than a vacation because you not only get to see what is important, beneficial, and normal for the locals, but also so learn so much about the people, how they live life, what perspectives they have, etc.” – Angela King
