ABROADER review

The positive qualities that ABROADER shares with other overseas internship programmes (i.e. Kaya Responsible Travel, Pachaysana Institute, ICADS, Amizade, etc) have been belaboured before, but what really sets ABROADER apart is the local buddy system. Local buddies are students at Vietnamese universities who help students with everything from cultural immersion to arranging travel within the country to solving technical difficulties. By creating an interface that is separate from the host company, ABROADER makes the experience that much easier---and consequently better---for interns in the programme. Internships and homestays are masterfully selected to match the students' talents and personalities. Any challenge is easily surmountable with Julie or Moon's help and the advice of the local buddies.
