When I traveled from my country (Jordan) to Madrid to study. It was amazing because for the first time I had to leave my country by myself and start all over again, as well as I was living by myself at the beginning before moving in with other roommates. After that, came meeting new people from all around the world which I loved. Meeting people from different cultures and values is very interesting.

What is your favorite travel memory?
How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?
The company I am working at helped me grow a lot. It has one of the best environments, and I believe one should be comfortable in their environment in order to have the ability to learn. I have learned many new skills and added a lot to my information. Such as how to deal with new systems such as CRM.
What is the best story you've heard from a return student?
I have two stories that I really like about students who returned after leaving for a while. The first is about a girl that is around 30 years old which left back to her country after living in Madrid for so long to get married to her boyfriend and they came back here to live together, and the other is about a man who is almost 35 years old who came all the way from the UK to live with his Spanish wife and their son, and the effort he puts to learn Spanish to communicate with her parents and friends is amazing.
If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?
Enjoy Spain.
First of all, it's really nice because you would be around people your age. It's not very intensive, Four hours a day of Spanish is perfect since you learn fast, and it includes all kinds of activities while at the same time you still have time for other activities. Not to mention the leisure activities that make it such a fun learning experience.
What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?
When you see the student from the beginning of a course and at the end of the course, you can see the journey that he/she took, and how far this student has become at the end, compared to the beginning. You see the difference that our institute had made and how much this student grew and learned in such a short time, in addition to the friendly/homey environment that we have at the In2spanish institute.
What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?
The environment of a company is one of the most important factors. Without a safe space, a student would not have the same capabilities to learn as not being comfortable. In2spanish has one of the best atmospheres; it doesn't just represent a safe/comfortable environment, but also a home. That is represented by everyone at the institute without any exclusions.
