Belize Spring Break

Therapy abroad in Belize was an amazing way to spend my spring break!! It provided so much hands on experience as well as some really fun excursions! Our therapy experience was in all age ranges giving us the opportunity to see different populations. I especially enjoyed visiting the adults at Octavia Waight. They were full of energy and were excited to tell us about their life in Belize. Everyone who guided us throughout the week was very nice and helpful. I would love to go back and do it all again!

Pros
  • Really fun excursions
  • Hands on experience
  • Amazing food

Therapy abroad took care of everything! We had delicious food from start to finish and they set up wonderful culturally enhancing experiences. We also got to Zipline and snorkel, two items that were on my bucket list! The staff was supportive and we got to know them personally. Jaime Vega was there with us along the way and provided her delicious sweets! Aside from the food and support, I felt like I gained critical clinical experiences and learned first hand why it's important to be a culturally competent clinician. I met wonderful people and felt right at home in Belize. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

Belize 2023

This was definitely one of the most amazing and memorable experiences I've ever had. The Therapy Abroad staff were extremely knowledgeable and offered a great deal of support throughout the entire trip. We were able to complete many clinical experiences, including screenings, evaluations, and therapy sessions and work with a wide range of clients. We also were able to have many adventurous and cultural experiences, like visiting the Mayan cultural center and Mayan ruins and going ziplining and snorkeling. I learned so much about the culture in Belize and had an amazing time interacting with the different communities. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I will be forever grateful that I was able to be a part of it. I learned so many new things and gained a great deal of confidence as a clinician. The housing was very clean and safe, and all of the staff members we interacted with were extremely accommodating and welcoming. I'm going to remember this trip for the rest of my life and take all of the skills I learned with me as I continue my clinical experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed every single day of the trip, and I would tell anyone who has the opportunity to go that it is so worth it. I already want to go back!

Pros
  • We were able to participate in a wide range of clinical experiences.
  • We learned so much about the culture and participated in many cultural immersion experiences.
  • The staff and all of the people we met in Belize were extremely kind and wonderful to interact with.

Already miss it

I can not express how amazing this experience was. From traveling all over the country to getting to know locals, to the delicious meals and so much more, I miss it already. The people we met and the opportunities we were given, have provided me with an education that you can't study for. Being exposed to another culture has been a great way to continue being culturally humble. The Therapy Abroad employees were there for us for everything. They taught us so much about Belize and the amazing culture they have there.

Therapy Abroad - Belize

Overall, this experience was outstanding. We felt so much support from Therapy Abroad both before our trip and while we were in Belize. The housing was clean, safe, and comfortable. Our itinerary kept us busy and fully emerged us into the culture of Belize which was all of our favorite parts. The activities that were planned for us were very enjoyable and exciting. We had the best trip and learned so much about the Belizean culture and were exposed to so many new things. I would highly recommend taking this trip with Therapy Abroad. It was life changing for all of us!!

Best trip ever

I learned so many clinical and life skills from this trip with Therapy Abroad. We got to experience cultural activities as well as fun adventures that can be checked off my bucket list like snorkeling and ziplining in the rainforest. The people of Belize were all so welcoming and kind to us. It was a perfect mix of excursions and clinical experiences, our schedules were packed and full of variety. Therapy Abroad made everything so easy by organizing every meal and transportation. I would definitely do this trip again!

Therapy Abroad - AMAZING

I loved my experience! Once in a lifetime, I would do it all again in a heartbeat. We got to meet great people, eat great food, learned so much about speech therapy, and did so many fun things. We ziplined, toured mayan ruins, got to stay on the beach, and had amazing experiences along the way. If you are thinking of going, don’t hesitate! Truly a once in a lifetime experience that I will treasure together. We all miss Belize so much already! The food was also so good (lots of rice and beans and chicken, but also so yummy)

Pros
  • Learned so much
  • Saw amazing Belizean sites

Belize 2023

This trip was unforgettable. Not only did I grow so much in my own clinical skills and confidence as a clinician, but I had so much fun. Belize is a beautiful country full of wonder and so much to learn, and I would not have had the experience I had without the wonderful staff that supported us throughout the trip. I felt safe but also the freedom to explore with my trip mates. I learned so much about culture and myself on this trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable trip!

Pros
  • Clinical experiences
  • Variety of activities
  • Safety and support
