Internship abroad in Buenos Aires was amazing!
Work placement was fast and secured, had many options based upon my interests. Was little worried about my safety due to BsAs economy, but no needed to worry about it. Safe to travel around alone, nice drinks and cultures.
Road2Argentina definitely helped me to be more involved in the city, met a lot of Roadies from different countries/cities. Road2Argentina tried their best to help us whenever needed.
Weekly events were truly an amazing opportunity to hang out with people and learn Argentina. We watched couple of Copa América matches together, experience night life, and more!
Great thing about internship abroad is you get to travel around while you working and learning!
Lots of adventures and lessons.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Respect others, have positive behavior and try to learn from what you have!

My 5 week internship at a public hospital in Buenos Aires were perfectly tailored for me! Will and Simon made sure I was matched to an internship that suited my skill level and was relevant to my academic/career goals. I did this internship as my elective for my final year of medical school and to improve my Spanish and it was a great decision. After my second week in Buenos Aires, I found that my Spanish improved immensely! The process was really easy and everything was explained and set up for me so that I was completely prepared for my stay in Buenos Aires and my internship. I never felt alone or lost as I knew I had 24 hr support if I ever needed. Will met me for orientation, introduced me to my supervisor and showed me around the hospital, which was such a relief being in a completely new city and new hospital and not knowing where anything is. He would also check in regularly to make sure I was getting the most out of my visit and out of my internship. Even though I was unable to attend any Roadie events because I was so busy traveling over the weekends, I really loved that there were one more events every week for all of the interns to get together and hang out.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?

I would have lived with a host family to speed up my Spanish skills! Living alone has its luxuries, of course, but if you're going to improve/learn a new language, you need as much exposure as possible.

My 9 weeks in Argentina over the summer were ones I will never forget. Will and Simon made the entire process of applying and finding a suitable company extremely easy. They hear out your requests and do a great job of placing you in safe, fun neighborhoods. I lived in a shared apartment with various other travelers and a laidback mother and daughter. Great environment for learning Spanish but feeling like I had space as well.

The social media company, called Taringa!, I interned at was innovative and a pleasure to go in to everyday. I took Spanish classes for the first month which helped me initially a lot. Buenos Aires is an unforgettable city with a number of excursions only a bus ride or cheap plane ticket away. Do this program if you're even considering it.

What would you improve about this program?

My one complaint for the summer was the group of roadies that were there, had I had a group I meshed with better, I think I would've had a better time going out and traveling. I know thats not really their fault, maybe market the program to better schools in the US and abroad? I think this program would be a hit if it got around to Ivy League schools, NESCAC schools, and other smaller elite liberal arts schools in the North East and California.

I spent 3mo in the Road2Argentina program and it was simply incredible!! Will and Simon work tirelessly to make sure that your experience is exactly what you want it to be! I did 6 weeks interning with a healthcare based NGO before shifting gears to do a 6 weeks shadowing in a hospital (with a few weeks of travel in-between ;) ) and both experiences were amazing and highly useful to my future professional goals. The coordinators are there to make sure that you have one of the best experiences of your life! When you get there you instantly are connected with other Roadies and have a squad to roll around Buenos Aires: there was never any shortage of group events! The only reason I can't give it 10/10 in every aspect is simply the price: as a broke post-grad, it was definitely an expensive gap year experience. Although understandably, it is quite difficult to find short term housing at an affordable price, so i'm not sure I could have done any better on my own. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That being said, outside of housings costs, everything about the program exceeded my expectations and [in the larger scheme of undergrad and medical school debt] it was well worth the cost!! 9.8/10

What would you improve about this program?

honestly if it was a bit more affordable is the only thing I can think of... other than that everything was absolutely incredible and I wouldn't change a thing!

I absolutely enjoyed my time in Buenos Aires. R2A is a great program and was very helpful in answering all of my questions before I even arrived in Argentina. My internship at the hospital and at FIC was amazing. The people I met inspired me and gave me great advice. I enjoyed exploring Buenos Aires and doing a lot of things for the first time. I definitely recommend going abroad and R2A because the coordinators are awesome. They are very helpful and organize fun events to help you explore Buenos Aires.

Road2Argentina was an awesome way to get an easy introduction to the Argentinian culture. It was so good to have Will and Simon as points of contacts when faced with a completely new environment. They were incredibly helpful and responsive with any questions we might have. The housing situation was very comfortable and safe - I had 2 other roommates that Will and Simon did a great job matching up. Thanks for a great time! I'm glad I got to be a Roadie :)

My summer in Buenos Aires with Road2Argentina was one of the best experiences of my life. My Spanish went from conversational to near fluent in just 10 weeks, I traveled to countries and places I could only dream about, and I lived in a city full of cultures from around the world. The program can help set you up with an awesome host family or a more independent apartment. The coordinators are always available if you need help, and they are also very fun and will go out with the group too.

If you are looking for a great study abroad time in Latin America, Road2Argentina is the way to go. The program heads work really hard to make sure that you are placed in a comfortable homestay and an applicable internship. Additionally, they have cohort events supplemented by a weekly get together over snacks and Argentinian tea. You always feel like you have someone to count on with this program. It is a great way to explore a beautiful country.

Questions & Answers

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you choose this program?

I knew I wanted a smaller program that focused on a certain country and I've always wanted to spend an extended amount of time in Argentina. I knew that this specialized program would give me a more personalized experience.

What did your program provider assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

R2A organized transportation from the airport, living arrangements, an internship, and even organized social and cultural activities. They showed me how to arrive at my internship and use public transportation as well. The only thing I had to worry about was making my own meals since I chose to live in an apartment alone!

View Entire Interview

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

I'd advise them to dress warm if they're going to Argentina during our summer months (June-August). Knowing the language is also a huge advantage since navigating around the city can be hard with no prior language skills.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

Each day I would arrive at my internship and spend the full day there. Other participants would spend half of the day volunteering and half taking Spanish classes. This program gives you the ability to arrange your own schedule with the supervisor of your internship or volunteer placement, so it's very flexible.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

I've had a lot of experience traveling so I wasn't nervous but mostly just excited! The one thing that worried me was doing the program alone and not knowing anyone. However, R2A gives you a group of friends and a huge support system if you ever need help with anything. Through this program, I met some amazing friends!

How did you learn to navigate the city?

Trial and error! One of the biggest challenges for me was figuring out the bus and subway system. Often times I would get on a bus and it would be going the completely wrong direction!

I had to push myself out of my comfort zone and ask a stranger or the driver where the bus was going. This is one of the best ways to learn Spanish because you have to force yourself to speak a language you may not be comfortable with. The best way to do this is by asking locals and just trying out many different forms of transportation!

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

Simon, tell us about yourself.

Originally from Switzerland, I came to Argentina to study a Master's degree in International Relations. I took the extracurricular activities to heart and now have an Argentine girlfriend and an outgoing two-year-old son who becomes the center of attention at every Road2Argentina event.

What is your favorite travel memory?

It's hard to decide between climbing an Andean peak in Bolivia; snorkeling with turtles, sea lions, and penguins on the Galapagos; the Rio Carnival; or dune walking and safaris in Namibia.

Actually, I'll pick a three weeks’ camping adventure in Southern Patagonia with my best mate. It's one of the least populated and most desolate areas in the world and in summer the sun shines until very late. We hiked around ten hours a day and saw some of the most stunning and remote landscapes: calving glaciers, high granite towers, and jagged peaks close to the world’s southernmost town, Puerto Williams.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

A lot. When my friend Will Zupan asked me back in January 2016 if I was willing to take over Road2Argentina with him, I first thought that I – a journalist finishing his IR Masters - would never be able to run a business, or not yet at least. At that time, the company was operating in the red and the old owner had decided to close down Road2Argentina and focus on his other business. Saving Road2Argentina seemed a Herculean task.

We decided to give it a chance and were thrown into the deep end. Fortunately, all worked out. Since then, I learn something new every day and I’m really glad that we took on the challenge. I learned to give new ideas a chance, no matter how unattainable they seem at first. I also enjoy a lot working with my co-worker and friend Will.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

A former Roadie (Road2Argentina participant) contacted us a few weeks ago offering to invite the current program participants for dinner. It was the first time he came back to Buenos Aires after his immersion program in 2009.

When we met him, he was enthusiastically telling us that he had the best summer of his life thanks to Road2Argentina. Even though almost a decade had passed, he could still remember the details. He also met one of his best friends during his program.

It was so great to see that Road2Argentina has such a great impact on people’s lives and boosted my motivation to keep up the good work.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

That is a really tough one. I would probably choose our internship with a member of the Argentine Congress. Interns usually research about topics of their personal interest, for example about trade relations between their home countries and Argentina, or about women’s empowerment in Argentina -- currently a hot topic here.

If you do well, it is even possible that your idea results in a law in the end. Interns also get the chance to visit congressional debates and participate in high-level meetings.

As an alternative, I would volunteer in our animal conservation program where they artificially incubate condor eggs and breed the chicks with latex puppets looking just like a real condor. Those birds get huge and observing how quickly they grow is fascinating.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

Road2Argentina puts participants first. We help our Roadies put together the perfect immersion program that exceeds their expectations and offers them a unique way to see Buenos Aires. We are always there for them in case they have a problem.

We value the social component a lot and take our Roadies to cultural events twice a week. We show them how to prepare empanadas or how Argentinians drink mate, a local tea (there are some rules).

The mix between high-quality placements, our 24-7 support, and our social group of people from all over the world, also including locals, make our program unique.

This also reflects in our feedback and reviews which are all positive. This is an appreciation which means a lot to us and makes us proud.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

You should definitely dream big and create a work environment where new ideas form. It is also important to have a motivated team with an open and critical mind.
