Couldn't be happier!

I've been living in Colombia for the past five months or so and I really couldn't be happier with my life here. Greenheart Travel did an excellent job in all matters pre-departure relate; from the interview process to visa application, Sara Dorsey and the Greenheart team were nothing but helpful. Anytime I had a question, they would answer in detail within a matter of hours. As a result, I never once felt uneasy or uncertain about the application or pre-departure process and could focus on feeling excited instead!

I've been teaching with the Ministry of Education in a public high school in Pereira. While there are certainly challenges, it has overall been an immensely positive experience. I've formed great relationships with my students, have gone from knowing zero Spanish to being conversational, and have made quite a few friends. After five months, Pereira feels like home, which is why I've extended my contract until December 2016.

I love Colombia and feel incredibly privileged to have the opportunity to live and work here. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to live in a different country, to learn a language, or to try something new!
