Road2Argentina 3 month internship Buenos Aires

I spent 3 months from March-June working at AMUMRA (Asociacion de Mujeres Unidas, Migrantes y Refugiadas de Argentina) as part of the Road2Argentina immersion programme and I can't believe how much my life changed in only a quarter of a year. When I arrived, the company was changing hands from Will and Simon to Mateo and David and I was a bit nervous about Will leaving because he was an amazing presence for expats abroad - was always inviting us out during the weekend and went above and beyond expectations for what a program convenor should do. Luckily for me, Mateo and David grew to be such amazing friends of mine and my experience would not have been so good without this pair of Argentine best friends who taught me all about the Argentina that I now love so much, from the best cuts of steak, to the best swear words to use when River score against Boca and I can't wait to return to after I finish my degree - love you and miss you loads guys :( . I was housed in a flat in Palermo (best district in the city) with an Argentine lady who told me about all the best places to go and see in Buenos Aires, and worked with some fabulous women from all over the world, from Peru to France and all of this contributed to me having an experience I could have only dreamt of 4 years ago when I started speaking Spanish. My language skills improved so much and I am so lucky to have grown a new part in my heart for a country that people in England barely know about. It wasn't easy at the beginning, and going somewhere where you know no one is daunting, sometimes you feel like you have made the wrong decision, but after a while you realise that the people are warm and kind, it's impossible to get bored in Buenos Aires and Argentina is one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
