Program Reviews

I spent 2 fantastic months in Buenos Aires. R2A helped me find both my internship and the apartment. It was a great experience, I had the chance to work with an important in BA, improve my Spanish and meet a lot of people from all over the world and discover a fantastic country. Will and Simon are always willing for any doubt you may have and we also spent great nights together. I really recommend this program !!!

Overall it is a great experience in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 1) The staffs are very efficient and responsive. I submitted the request for an internship program at Road2Argentina in April. It was less than 2 months before the internship start date and Will, the program coordinator, responded to my request within 1 day with a list of companies within the fields that I am interested in. He then arranged the interview for me within 10 days. Thanks to him I was able to get the internship in time. 2) The program arranged weekly social events for all the kids to learn the culture and to get to know each other; both program coordinators, Will and Simon, always hang out with us. They are more like friends to us, which I think is one of the best parts of this program. 3) They have good partners with other organizations. I also took the Spanish class at the language school they partner with. It is the best Spanish school in town and I loved the people I met there. They also partner with a local travel agency that provides affordable domestic trips. 4) Overall I would recommend this program. Even though the organization is small, the program coordinators are able to get to know each kid and give any support they need.

I had one of the best summers of my entire life in Buenos Aires. I met so many interesting people from all over and explored all of Argentina (from waterfalls to icebergs) during my weekends or any weeks off that I had. My Spanish also reached a higher degree of fluency and became more natural throughout the course of my stay. I have created friends for life in this country, along with all of the fellow roadies I've met in the program and wouldn't have chosen any other program. Will and Simon (The Road Directors/Coordinators) will take great care of you and work extremely hard to cater to your needs. If you have an open mind and a positive attitude, you are going to have an amazing time!

Road to Argentina provides excellecent support to students traveling abroad. The staff helped me to find and internship and set me up with a wonderful apartment in the heart of the city, answering any questions I had before my arrival. When I arrived my transportation from the airport was arranged and the coordinators helped show me arround the city making sure my transition was as smooth as possible. The coordinators are extremely helpful and willing to assist you with anything you may need while in the country. There are weekly activities ranging from cultural walking tours to soccer games. This program is a great way to explore Buenos Aires while making amazing friends and memories! I´m extremely greatful to the Roadie team for making sure I had a great two months in Buenos Aires!

Coming to Argentina I was super nervous! I had never traveled outside the USA. (just along the east coast) I had never traveled alone. I had never been on an airplane. I never even had a passport. HOWEVER, I did it, and succeeded! I was in Buenos Aires for two months volunteering for an NGO. My main goal for coming to BA was to gain confidence in my Spanish, I could always speak it and understand it but never had the confidence to speak it. During the time I was planning my trip R2A was AMAZING! As a first time traveler, you could guess I had questions about everything! I want to say that I had a pretty long email feed with R2A filled with questions and assistance. They always got back to me so quickly and they were always so nice! Then when I got here I couldn't believe the amazing home I was staying in! The family was so welcoming and wonderful. My first full day in BA R2A took me everywhere I needed to go, and showed me how to get to my internship sites! I felt so at ease because I was given my own mini field trip tailored just for me. After that day I knew I would be fine because Will and Simon were SO helpful and understanding! Now that I have completed my 2 months in BA I am so over joyed with my personal growth! Overall, I say R2A is literally the best program out there!

This summer I choose the R2A program to help me find an international trade internship in Argentina. The R2A program provided my housing and internship for a fair price and transportation from the aiport. I would definitely recomend any college student who is having a hard time finding an internship to try R2A because the staff is very nice and they provide you with all the support you need. I would not be able to adapt easily without the support of the R2A coordinators. They also helped me fundraise the funds I needed to pay the program and they offer scholarship opportunities.

The Road 2 Argentina people are amazing, they treated me like one of their good friends that came to visit argentina by showing me the correct places to buy staff and the best way to travel around. I would have been very lost without their help, they made an entirely different country feel like home. My program placement was perfect, im a biology major going to be a senior next year and this placement helped me achieve college credits with my school. i had the opportunity to work first hand with the processing of both organic and inorganic products. with the organic matter we used aerobic techniques to produce composts and fertile soil for people in financial need to be able to grow their own food. with the inorganic products, we builded houses and schools in the region of La Plata, which ironically does not have plata. The joy of kids and parents when we all help build a school for them is astonishing. when i got out of work, i knew i always have other volunteer in my same scenario but in different programs i could go out with and relate my story. i LOVE argentina and i cannot wait to come back.

I was in Buenos Aires for 2 months doing an internship with FIC Argentina, a public health company that does research and raises awareness for chronic illness. The internship was super relevant to my future career in healthcare and allowed me to build my resume and skills for graduate school. The people at FIC were amazing, they made me feel so welcomed and helped me find projects that were relevant to my future plans. I truly loved working for such an amazing company! Road2Argentina was an incredible organization to go through for my experience and I cannot recommend them enough. I traveled to Argentina alone for the first time and it made all the difference to have a program that supported me, showed me around, and made sure all the details of my housing and placement went smoothly so that I could enjoy more of my time here. It was also so nice having an official program to plan events where you can meet other people in the program. It also makes it easier to be away from home when you are a part of a group of people. I only wish I could have stayed longer! Road allowed me to get the most out of my time here with new experiences and new friends that I will never forget.

I had the opportunity to intern in Bueno Aires with Anuva Wines these past 3 months. I didn't know what expect, not knowing the language that well, not knowing a single person and living in a huge city. I was terrified but as soon as I met with Will and Simon the coordinators, I knew that it was going to be a great experience, and I was right. They found me the perfect wine internship that focused on marketing, which is exactly what I wanted. I felt very safe in the city and my housing was at the perfect location close to everything in a safe neighborhood. 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. This was really nice because I came not knowing anyone, but this was a great challenge to meet all these amazing new international students. A great part of the city of Buenos Aires is that there are tons of international students and locals that are super friendly and love meeting know people or the locals love practicing English. I didn't come with the best knowledge of Spanish and it didn't whole me back at all, many people know English here or are always wanting to help out with your Spanish. Overall this was an amazing experience, I learned so much from these past three months here! I would recommend this program to anyone and foreshore recommend anyone to go to Argentina!

I had a great time in the TEFL course. Being in a classroom with a live instructor gave me a more solid understanding of the intricacies of teaching English than an online course ever could have. The course material is quite straightforward to a native English speaker with at least a cursory exposure to grammar in high (secondary) school. I think the strongest feature of the course is the experience of teaching six practice lessons to genuine ESL students, a trial by fire which is at once challenging and rewarding. Finally, the instructor is patient, professional and encouraging, and clearly an expert in his field. I highly recommend this course!
