Gotoco 2 month Colombia program

I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Gotoco. The relationship with my placement school and my host family were among the highlights of my trip. The friendliness of the staff at Innova schools Mosquera, and their willingness to always provide a helping hand, made the transition into leading English classes much less daunting and rather enjoyable. I found this to be a great outlet to put into practice all that I had been learning about in my TEFL course.

The opportunity to travel around beautiful Colombia was also a major highlight. From trekking and sailing through the Amazon, to exploring the bustling market stalls of Bogota, this was definitely a trip to tick off the bucket list!

Whilst some of my fellow volunteers had some issues with our hosting organisation, YMCA Colombia, this was not at all reflective of the professionalism and all around helpfulness that was consistently demonstrated by Gotoco staff.

Though it sounds too good to be true, this volunteering experience was truly everything and more! Fully funded & no catches - what’s not to love? I would definitely recommend doing a Gotoco programme to anyone that is interested in exploring the option of teaching English abroad, whilst also adventuring through a different corner of the world.
