Shaniya's RVF Experience

Nov 25, 2019

Going through RVF for the "North American language and culture assistants program" in Spain was the absolute best decision I ever made. In all honesty the actual program itself is very disorganized and it can be an absolute nightmare to get through Spanish bureaucracy; but that's where RVF comes it. Going through RVF took away the headache of the disorganization and organized virtually everything for me. Harrison from RVF made the entire process from filling out my application to moving into my home in Spain a breeze. I was assisted with the application process, the visa process, plans for the move to my city, and much advice on getting settled in such as how to get my phone to work and setting up my WiFi in the house. RVF goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and more to successfully make the move and start your position.

What would you improve about this program?
On RVF's end everything is actually perfect in my opinion. It is extremely organized, always responsive, and personal. I couldn't have asked for more. However, I wish the actually program here in Spain was a little more organized. This is due to no part of RVF though, I want to make that clear.

Questions & Answers

Is there a housing stipend? Or is housing provided? If not, is that affordable with the pay there?

Hello Jeremy, Thank you for your question! Housing is independent and is not included in the program. However, our program has a very comprehensive housing assistance plan that helps our program participants find housing in Spain. On average, on average those in our program who follow our housing plan move into a fully furnished apartment in Spain within the first 48-72 hours of arriving in Spain...

How is the pay for teacher assistants in Spain through RVF International Program?

Hello Richard, Thank you for your question! You will earn anywhere between €700 EUR to €1000 EUR depending on where in Spain you'll be teaching as your monthly salary will be relative to the standard cost of living of where you'll be teaching. Doesn't sound like much? Don't worry, it is! Spain is one of the least expensive countries in all of Western Europe to live in, and you'll earn more than...

Stevie Sanborn

Program
Teach English in Spain with RVF | Get Paid to Travel and Explore
Stevie and her partner she met in Spain on her program with RVF

Why did you choose this program?

I’d been looking for the perfect stepping stone to move to Spain and this program checked all the boxes. It gives you the chance to live and work in Spain for 8 months with the option to renew for another year. And the schedule is unbeatable. Four hours of (super chill) work a day and a 3-day weekend every week to travel? C’mon.
 

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

RVF International truly did all the heavy lifting. They guided us step-by-step, letting us know exactly which appointments to book and when (and sometimes even booked them for us!). They reminded us about all the paperwork we needed, double-checked everything we got back from the consulate (which absolutely saved me when they caught that I was given the wrong visa!), and continued to support us throughout the entire year. Plus, they kept things fun with competitions + amazing prizes! The only part you handle on your own really is finding an apartment — but even then, they give you as much guidance and support as possible! You’re not alone in anything.
 

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

I honestly felt pretty prepared going into this, but one thing I was not anticipating was the incredible people I’d meet! I expected this move abroad to be a bit lonely and more of a solo journey — but I was very wrong in the best way. Within my first week, I met two fellow RVF participants placed the same city as me who quickly became my best friends and life-long soulmates. This journey has given me so much more than I ever imagined. If you stay open, it will reward you with life-changing experiences, connections, and so many magical moments you’ll never forget.
 

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

Each school is different, but I worked Monday-Thursday from 10am-2pm. Some days I had a 30 minute break, others an hour or even an hour and a half. During your breaks, you can plan lessons — or if you get lucky like me and your school doesn’t expect much from you, you can go out to eat or run errands and come back later on. This is maybe the chillest job you’ll ever have, so enjoy it and don’t get worked up about the little things! You are mainly here to learn about Spain and travel on the weekends.
 

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

My biggest fear was probably learning Spanish and understanding the Andalusian accent, which is notoriously fast. I overcame this by living and breathing Spanish from the minute I signed up for the program. I found podcasts, binged Spanish shows, wrote journal entries in Spanish, found Spanish locals online to practice with, listened to strictly Spanish music, etc etc etc. I was obsessed, and within 2 months, I already reached an intermediate level with no Spanish background whatsoever! Not saying it’s easy, but my fear lit a fire under me and I squashed it as soon as possible.

That said, my roommate here in Spain never learned Spanish and her experience has been amazing as well. While I highly recommend learning the language to be able to connect with locals and enrich your time here, it’s not a deal-breaker and you’ll be just fine no matter what! So don’t let the language scare you off. It’s become one of my favorite parts of living here and I prefer speaking in Spanish :-)

 

How has this program changed your life?  

If it weren’t for this program, I never would have met the love of my life. My boyfriend is from Brazil and moved to Spain 12 years ago. After signing up for RVF International, I came to Spain to scope out what city I wanted to move to. On that trip, I met him, and we’ve been together ever since. We now live together with our puppy in a beachfront apartment right on the boardwalk (which is half the price of my humble studio apartment in Los Angeles) and we even plan to get married soon. Spain is truly my forever home.

And lastly, it’s important to mention that before arriving here, my life in the US was becoming increasingly more impossible. I was by no means thriving (post-back surgery, homeless, in-debt, jobless)… I owe RVF International more than I can put into words. They didn’t just help me move abroad, they helped me rebuild my life. I will be forever grateful and the #1 fan and spokesperson for this amazing program.

I hope that you give yourself the gift of this opportunity. It doesn’t have to be forever like it is for me. You can always go back home with a lifetime of memories from your 8 months in Spain.

Staff Spotlight

What is your favorite travel memory?

My favorite travel memory is definitely the time I lived in France. I traveled to this country to continue my studies at the University of Rennes. I spent 9 months living there, the experience was amazing! I improved my French and I met many good friends there! I was able to visit many EU countries while living there. One of the best experiences in my life!
 

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I have grown in many areas! I love getting to help others experience my beautiful country, Spain, and everything it has to offer. It is very rewarding to be part of this team and have that bond with every single person I speak with in the program. Working with this amazing team has been one of the best parts of it.
 

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

I love to hear when a returning student sends us an email expressing their gratitude for our constant support and that they were able to find a beautiful community of people and connect with them thanks to our program. It's very rewarding to know we were there to help and assist them whenever they needed it.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would choose our Teach English in Spain Program because it's exactly what you need when you travel abroad.
The support you receive in every step before, during, and after you arrive to Spain makes you not feel alone at no point and you can feel more relaxed in a country so far away from yours.
I would also choose this program for the confidence it gives to their customers.
 

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

I think our company is unique because of the support we offer to our clients and the transparency of our service.
We focus on each person and we help them in every step of the abroad process. We try to understand each problem and try to give them the best possible experience for each of our customers.

I feel very proud of my team and the service we provide. Everything we do is done in the best way, thinking of the best possible experience that our clients can take with them.
The environment in the team is amazing! I couldn't be happier to work with people like this.
 

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I think the biggest factor in being a successful company is the confidence and the support we give our customers in every step of the process.
Our clients feel very comfortable in reaching out to our company because they know we are going to help them with anything they need in any time. This incredible experience marks them forever, and that is why they will remember Spain as an amazing place where they were able to live this amazing experience.
