My story!

Hi I’m Lizzie, a 24-year-old from Washington state who decided to stop doing seasonal ski gigs after college and decided to teach English in Dénia, Spain with RVF International. It’s been a very cool experience. RVF handled the paperwork chaos and helped me organize what papers need to go where, which is so helpful for navigating. I’m at a school, working 16 hours a week with kids who are starting to nail their English—it’s pretty cool watching them improve already. The €1,000 monthly stipend covers my shared apartment and leaves enough for weekend trips to Valencia or chilling on Dénia’s beaches or maybe a trip somewhere else. The NIE card wait was a pain, and I get homesick sometimes, but everyone has been super supportive. If you’re down for this, brush up on basic Spanish, pack for random weather, and stay open to any placement!!! Dénia’s got relaxed vibes. It is a solid way to live abroad and sort out your life!
