Intern at an NGO

I loved my internship with Directorio Legislativo, but what really made the program was being able to live in Buenos Aires. I loved using the extensive city public transport, having almost everything accessible within a 5 min. walking radius, going out at night, and Road2Argentina offers great support to your specific needs. The people who lead the program will help you with whatever you need at anytime if it’s figuring out public transport, adapting to cultural differences, or helping to plan an excursion.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Porteños
Pros
  • Greatly improved my Castellano (Argentine Spanish) speaking skills.
  • Pasta, milanesas, mate, medialunas, empanadas, asados…!
  • Got to spend time with my family who lives in Argentina.
Cons
  • Can get pretty cold during their winter season.
  • Due to cash being the easiest way of payment, it is a transition from US card/Apple Pay based economy.

Road2Argentina Experience

I had always dreamt of traveling abroad, to see new countries and learn new cultures. When I found out my school offered a program in Argentina in partnership with road2argentina, I knew it was something I wanted to do. At first, I was a little nervous because it was my first time traveling alone for a long period of time, but Mateo was always there to answer all my questions and help me with the process before leaving to Argentina. When I arrived to Argentina, I met so many amazing people that helped me navigate Buenos Aires. Mateo and David always had something planned each week, and were always available to help me with any question I had. I definitely recommend Road2Argentina, such a wonderful experience!

Pros
  • Weekly activities
  • getting to know new people
  • help always available

Summer 2022 in Buenos Aires

The internship program this past summer with Road2Argentina was absolutely incredible. The support team in Argentina was super friendly and helpful, as well as fun to hang out with. Both my housing situation and my internship work could not have been more perfect as I made lifelong friends and connections during my few months there. Road2Argentina is a great program and if you're considering studying abroad and like food, fun, excitement, adventure, and or are passionate about your work, look no further.

Pros
  • Coming from US, extremely favorable exchange rate
  • Friendly people, always felt safe and welcomed
  • Natural beauty, from Iguazu to Patagonia there is no shortage of wonder in Argentina
Cons
  • Regional accent, I learned a very basic Spanish in school and the Porteño accent in BA was tough to adjust to
  • While most food was amazing, I like things spicy. Hot sauce, especially good hot sauce, is not easy to come by at all really.
  • Nothing!

The best decision I have made

I made the decision to do a 6 month internship in Sustainable Development with Road2Argentina for my placement at University. From the first day I arrived Mateo and David made me feel comfortable and safe in a city that was so far from home. Any concerns I had were answered within the first day I arrived and from that day they were available to call 24/7 no matter the problem. I chose the shared apartment option and was placed with a lovely relaxed family that lived in the heart of Palermo which made going out with friends very convenient.

If you are concerned about your Spanish level before applying, don't let this be a barrier! There are many schools around the city which you can go to and they also act as a great way to make new friends. I arrived with little to no knowledge in Spanish and left almost being able to speak it fluently.

My internship immediately exposed me to sustainability projects from all across South America and the knowledge and life skills I gained from this experience are invaluable. It has only been since returning back to London and having interviews with different companies have I realised just how valuable this experience has been and how much it makes you stand out when applying for jobs.

If you have any queries please don't hesitate to get in contact with Mateo or David and ask for my contact details and I will happily speak in more depth about what to expect in Buenos Aires and what you can gain from doing an internship here before you apply.

The thing that makes Road2Argentina so special is how personal it is. Unlike other companies that operate in this market, Road2 feels much more like a family and will cater to your every need to make this a truly amazing experience. It wont be long before I return to Argentina and in Mateo and David I have found lifelong friends.

Pros
  • 24/7 support for any query
  • Invaluable life experience
  • Great to make you stand our when applying for future jobs
Cons
  • None

Internship with Road2Argentina!

I had an amazing time in Argentina with the help of Mateo and David! They were extremely kind and help me to get settled in Buenos Aires. It was a daunting experience at first, but with their help and the fun socials that they organised I was able to make the most out of my time there! They helped me with the commute from my flat to work, SIM card, transaction advice and much more. I would certainly recommend others to use Road2Argentina as their personal touch provides a far more valuable experience and they were always there for me when I needed it!

Pros
  • Language development
  • CV building
  • Personal development
Cons
  • Would have loved to stay for longer than a month!

Ane in Buenos Aires

I have met many people. Buenos Aires gives you the opportunity to get to know many places and make different plans on a daily basis. It is a very lively city with lots of things to do. The plans with Road2argentina are very cool and allow you to meet a lot of new people.
No doubt it was an amazing experience and I would repeat it again and again.
It has given me the opportunity to get to know a beautiful country, with many different landscapes. As for my daily life, I worked in the mornings but in the afternoons I took the opportunity to make different plans. One of the things I liked most was to go jogging with my friends in the beautiful gardens that Buenos Aires has.

Amazing unique experience

I did a three month internship in Buenos Aires through Road2Argentina and this was an experience I will never forget. I arranged it through Road2Argentina and the process went really smooth and easy. First we talked through Skype and we tried to find a suitable internship. I ended up at an amazing lovely marketing company operating in a beautiful part of Buenos Aires (Palermo Soho). This company was a young hip and modern company in an amazing neighbourhood. Next to this, Mateo and David (the owners of Road2Argentina) Arranged every week at least 2 really nice local events for me and other interns. Events to get to know the city, the culture, the country. Every week we could let them know if we would be able and willing to participate. Through this I’ve met other interns and even friends and family from Mateo and David. This was really nice to get to know the city better and an addition to my experience. They also provided a lot of information regarding safety, money, where to go, where to live and what to do or not. During my time, I could reach them always when I needed to. Either serious cases or non serious. I am really happy they helped me with creating this amazing opportunity and memory for me. Also Argentina is an amazing country to travel through. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city with amazing parties and culture. In Argentina you can travel to Salta and Patagonia, which is unbelievable beautiful. When choosing Road2Argentina, you will have a good time, for sure! Thanks again Mateo and David, nos vemos en futuro!!!

What would you improve about this program?
It would be more fun with more interns, but this is something you can never promise from the beginning.

Argentina I love you !!!

Since I came here I knowed that was an ramarkable life experience because The City of Buenos Aires and all the cities of the country that I visited are so beautiful and the people is so lovefull.

The landscapes, the folks, the irresistible of the nigth life in Buenos Aires makes the country a european wonder in South America.

Is was a great challenge to meet all these amazing new international students.

The program can help set you up with an awesome host family or a more independent apartment.

The social scene was what you wanted it to be, if you wanted crazy nights at the club, there was always someone to go out with, or if you just wanted a chill dinner night you could always find someone to go with.

I will never forget the excellent treath of David and Mateo. Always so kind and diligent people.

My love for Argentina remains alive forever

Thanks for all guys!!

What would you improve about this program?
I improved my skills on volunteer work and knowledges like geography, history and food.
The coordinators always were able to help me. They do had nice activities to relax and have fun in my free times.

Whithout any doubt I definitely recommend this program
