Great host family: even when communicating was a bit difficult.

Great experience: food vice, traveling/exploring.

Great work at Eco Farm: good work and good teamwork.

I easily got help when I was sick, every step of my process. And met some great people, who I am also going to see again, when they are back.

I am born in Guatemala, but adopted, so it was wonderful to have the opportunity to travel and seeing the country I came from.

I also got reminded, not to take what I have in Denmark for granted.

I can't write enough great things about this program. The clinic we helped at really felt like we were improving people's lives. The staff was unforgettable, and I looked forward to going every single day of our stay. Our guide, Alex, was a genuine lifesaver. We felt so cared for and safe all thanks to him. Our host mother made us feel at home and cherished. There was also plenty to do in Guatemala for fun on the weekends. I am so thankful that this program exists and that I had the opportunity to experience it.

I had a lovely time at Physiocentro in Guatemala. I was able to assist with patients and see treatment techniques that I had not seen before in the US. I also loved staying with my host family who were so welcoming. Every weekend was a new adventure from climbing volcanoes to visiting a giant lake with crystal blue water! My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and it was the perfect balance of working and serving a purpose and also exploring a new country! I would recommend this program to everyone!

Going to Guatemala with INLEX made me feel extremely supported and safe throughout the experience. We were provided so much information on Guatemala to learn more about its history, taken around cities to get to know Guatemala, texted every day for check ups to make sure we were ok, helped with transportation whether it was direct information or a direct ride, and put in an amazing clinic to work with fisioterapeutas that enhanced our learning experience in Guatemala and made the clinic fun! I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you.

Our experience with this program was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrive de, the staff made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. Getting to Guatemala did not go exactly as planned, but our trip coordinator, Alex, made accommodations and ensured we had everything we needed upon arrival. Throughout this entire trip, he was always available to help, answer question, and to make sure that we were okay and comfortable, no matter how big or small the concern.

Coming into the trip we were nervous about staying with a host family, but this experience turned out to be just as wonderful. I never once felt unsafe or uncomfortable in the home. She provided us 2 meals each day (breakfast and dinner), and created a safe and welcoming space to return to.

Transportation to and from the airport was arranged for us. While using public transportation at first felt overwhelming and intimidating, with some guidance it became manageable. At times communication could be a little tough, but everyone we met was patient, and we figured out ways to communicate with Google Translate. During our free time, we had opportunities to explore —including hiking Acatenango, Fuego, and visiting the ruins.

Overall, this trip was an unforgettable experience. Everyone we met was kind, helpful, and genuinely cared about making the stay meaningful. I would highly recommend this program to anyone considering.

I spent one month in Antigua with Inlex, working in a medical clinic in the mornings and undertaking Spanish lessons in the afternoons. Alex and Diego made sure I felt comfortable and integrated into the community and my host family from the very start, and continued to check in throughout my time.

The clinic was so welcoming and the Spanish classes were incredible! My host family was also amazing and really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and looked after.

This was the most incredible experience and I’m so thankful to inlex for making it possible and supporting me through the experience!

My program went very well in Guatemala. I learned a whole lot about the technical aspects of cultivation in greenhouses, and helped (I think) by adding a pair of work hands, and all in all got a very deep and well-rounded experience. The cultural and language immersion of living in the Western Highlands of Guatemala was thorough and invigorating. I'm glad I chose to do this for the length of time I did (12 weeks), because I found myself integrating more an more into the work-site and people and life as time went by. Thanks very much for facilitating this and making it possible!

The support from INLEX was personal and reliable. It was so nice to stay with a local family the first night and have an informative ride to my program placement. I had many new and interesting experiences at Hawaii. The local staff were wonderful and the food was delicious. I met some friendly and helpful volunteers who made my stay even better.
Some unexpected changes occurred when I left the program to head back toward the airport and my Coordinator, Alex, changed arrangements and supported me the whole way through. As a solo traveler with minimal ability to speak Spanish, I felt secure with his assistance. I would recommend their services.
