Yes, I recommend this program

Best Decision Ever!

My experience with this program was amazing! I loved every second of living and working in Argentina! I loved getting to meet different people at my hostel placement. I loved learning about the culture of Argentina while getting to live it! I will never forget the connections I made during this program!

My experience with this program was very positive because GreenHeart Travel was very helpful in making it a simple process to move to a foreign country.
This experience really helped me strengthen my Spanish skills which is something I now know I definitely want to continue to strengthen and use in the future. Living and working in a hostel in Argentina has proven to be a great way to learn, speak, and improve my Spanish skills.

I would definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to travel, and make new friends abroad (maybe even move abroad).

Working in Argentina is one of the best decisions I've ever made (and, I'm glad i chose a company like GreenHeart Travel to help me in the process).

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don't be scared to speak Spanish! This program will test your confidence because you will want to speak to your co-workers and other guests, but some of them will only speak Spanish.
You don't need to be fluent before you arrive (you'll have free time to take classes), but even if you only know a few words, USE THEM! Don't be afraid of messing up (people know you are there to learn), so LEARN!
At first, it will be tiring (to think and speak Spanish everyday), but in the end, it will be worth it because you will be more confident (not only in Spanish, but also in yourself).
