Cuando en Tenerife...

Hola todos,

I have been many places in my life so far, but Tenerife was different than all of them. I have done study abroad programs before, but this was unlike any of the others I have done/heard about. When I heard internship, I assumed the usual shadowing, but I did not realize they would ask for our opinions in real meeting rooms, with the government officials of the island. The Horizon Bridge Fellows were just that, fellows, not interns. We were treated as if we were employees and I have no doubt if I had stayed longer, that we would have been helping the government in real time. This tiny island is very ambitious, their passion to make their island a main tourist attraction and port was inspiring. The Spanish there is unique. It has hints of both Latin America and Spain; the best of both worlds.

Once we got off work, we immediately explored the island. The transportation is simple and I do not think you could ever run out of adventures on the island of Tenerife. I wish I could have returned and experienced things more than once. I have no hesitations in recommending this program.
