Take the stress out of moving country

I am so glad I went through RVF to do the auxiliares program in Spain. RVF makes the entire experience less stressful and easier on you. Especially with added uncertainty of Covid and travel shutting down, I was so relieved to have RVF behind me. The owner, Harrison, is very quick to respond via email and really knows his stuff. Paying RVF gets you help for not only the application process of the auxiliar program but also with all visa paperwork, help with housing search, setting up wifi or a cellphone, what to pack, and much more. Harrison helped me even to look into prescription medications and getting them in Spain. RVF goes above and beyond and are worth every penny.
Also I love being an auxiliar and I’ve already mentioned to Harrison about staying another year.
I 100% recommend being an aux and paying RVF to help you with all the complicated Spanish government and visa stuff.
Harrison also helped connect other auxiliares in the community together and I’ve had a lovely time meeting other Americans who are going through the same thing as me and also used RVF.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take advantage of RVF and all the help they can give you! Any questions you have ask! Also when you get to your school try to take advantage of the schools resources and work on relationships with the teachers and director of the school as they can really help you with anything; info about the area, private tutoring lessons, a ride to go hiking, or an intercambio!

Super!

I think RVF is really well informed and they made the process of applying very easy. They were always available to answer questions and provided more information than what I expected. If you’re wanting to work and travel in Spain, RVF makes the process super easy!

I had worked abroad before but this was my first time going to Europe. I was always intimidated to apply because there are so many bureaucratic things I never understood in terms of the application process.

Honestly, it was thanks to RVF that I was able to come here and achieve one of my lifetime goals! Thank you!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice is to be prepared for what may happen but also keep an open mind as things change all the time. Most of all, enjoy the process and have fun!

Rvf international

When I first signed up, I had no idea what to expect. Covid had just set upon the world, and I was in the midst of looking for something life changing. Not the absolute best time to change up your life, but it’s been the best decision I’ve made so far as an adult. Rvf has helped make this not only the easiest transition, but has gone above and beyond their duties with helping me get here in Madrid. I had a few problems early on, and Harrison was always there every step of the way to help make sure I wasn’t unattended, and also helped me to feel comfortable through out the entire process. I am currently writing this in Spain, and not only had made lifelong new friends, but lifetime memories and it’s only been a month. I can’t wait to look forward to the next 8 months of my time here, regardless of covid. I’m having the time of my life!

What was your funniest moment?
My funniest moment was by far trying to figure out the transportation system in Madrid. I live in sol, and my work is 45 minute commute north. I had to hope on a tram and bus to get there. So I scan my card and it works on the tram, so I assume it’ll work on the bus. Yeah that’s a no go! I got on the bus on the way to school and it wouldn’t work, and not only would it not scan, but they don’t take debit cards on most buses. Euros only. So the bus driver is yelling at me in Spanish, and I’m freaking out saying I don’t understand what he’s saying (I speak hardly any Spanish). Well luckily a nice woman overheard the yelling, and gave him 2 euros for me to continue to ride the bus and make it to work on time.

RVF - Great Way to Navigate Spanish Bureaucracy

RVF is a great and relatively affordable way to enroll in Spain's auxiliary program. If you want to teach English in Spain, but are too intimidated by the all the paperwork and bureaucracy (American and Spanish) that you have to deal with, RVF is a good way to go.

I've been having a great time teaching English to little kids in Galicia. I've seen so much of Spain already and I'm excited to see a lot more. There's no way I'd be here if it weren't for the helpful people of RVF guiding me through every step of the way.

RVF International

RVF International was extremely helpful. They always responded to emails in a timely manner, they made the application process less stressful by giving detailed instructions, and they provided a handful of resources for all aspects of post application (housing, phone/internet, flights, etc). If you have any doubts regarding the application or housing or really any part of the entire process/experience, I strongly recommend using RVF. It will make everything much easier for you! I was very happy!

What would you improve about this program?
Honestly I wouldn’t change a thing about the program!!

RVF is true support!

I honestly do not know how people get through the process of becoming a North American Language and Cultural assistant without RVF! From the application process, to the step by step instructions regarding obtaining your visa, and the total support once you arrive in Spain, I never felt alone in my journey. Any time I had a question, problem or concern, Harrison and his team at RVF were there to support me in any way I needed. I highly recommend RVF to help you realize your dream of living and working in Spain.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would choose to live in Southern Spain. Although parts of Basque Country are quite beautiful, it is a very different culture and climate than other parts of Spain. Also, I would have arrived with much more savings, as the transition to getting paid is a slow process. But, obtaining RVF’s services is something I would do again and again!

Small company, but very knowledgeable, personal, and helpful!

I had Skype meetings where I was walked through every step of the application process, visa process, and all of the paperwork in between. When there was a hiccup with my background check, (the documents had gotten water damaged in the mail, no one's fault but the mail carrier) Mr Fowler called and emailed the company that does the background checks, and made sure I got a discount when I had to run the background check again. He's also regularly called or emailed to follow up on everything. My experience with the company has been great, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to go to Spain!

Teaching in Ronda, Spain

I have been teaching and living in Ronda Andalusia for 3 months, with 5 or 6 months left, and I am extremely happy here. The director of RVF International is someone that I have known for a long time and is a very genuine guy. I enlisted his company to help me smoothly transition to Spain. They helped me to organize everything, schedule appointments, get the Visa process done efficiently, and even gave me extra support and options when I ran into some trouble with the process. The high school I work at is amazing and the kids are a lot of fun. I've also had weekends and time to travel some around Spain/Europe. I recommend teaching in Spain and recommend getting that extra help from RVF International!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Landing in an unfamiliar place and settling into an unfamiliar job was nerve-wrecking at first. It is normal to feel lonely for the first little bit. If this is something you want to do, this lonely feeling is really easy to overcome if you just put yourself out there. I now have Spanish roommates and friends, friends in other cities, and I see people I know in the streets daily!
