Review
I was working in Valledupar, Colombia. I worked at Areandina University. It is a good school and a nice town in Colombia. It's right next to the Sierra Nevada mountains, which ar 6000m mountains. The University offers a spectacular view of these mountains!
There is also the Guatapuri river, which is a great place to escape the heat during the day. Many locals flock here on days off.
I was working with the YMCA Col3aders program. The YMCA is very well organized and were quick to offer help and support. They provided a host family in a good location with at a very reasonable cost.
I recomend this program to anyone who is considering teaching or to someone interested in cultural exchange!
Would you recommend this program?
