Intern Abroad Update: Lauren H. (Intern in Madrid, Medical)
“It’s been great being able to work doing something I love and also, getting to travel to so many unique places. I have made lots of great friends in the program and its been a great experience so far.”
Intern Abroad Update: Karina. (Intern in Madrid, Psychology)
“So far I’m loving madrid. The city itself is so amazing and so beautiful, it’s only the second European country I’ve been to, but I’m falling in love with it. The heat though, not as much, but it’s something I can deal with. On the social front, so far me and my roommates get along great! So that is also helpful when it goes for exploring the city..”
Intern Abroad Update: Kelsey R. (Professional Placement in London, Journalism & Media)
“London has been great so far, it’s truly a gorgeous city and everyone I’ve met has been so nice. My professional placement is easy to get to with the tube and truly seems like a great opportunity for me. They’re going to allow me to work on a lot, especially on a project I’m very interested in. They’re also flexible for the couple dates I’ll be traveling a bit, which is great.
The people in session two all were nice as well, we all met for the first time with Charlotte during our orientation. I’ve hung out with Jenny a few times already, we’ve gotten along really well. Luckily too, I have one of my best friends from home here 20 minutes away who is nannying for her family friends this summer. They’ve been incredibly kind welcoming me in their home for dinner and to spend time with them.”

Intern in Abroad Update: Taylor W. (Intern in Marbella, Business)
“I like San Pedro a lot, I went walking around on my own and I went out last night with my host parents and later with a neighbor. Next weekend I am tagging along with a friend of my host brother to Granada! I feel really overwhelmed with the Spanish, of course I knew that it wouldn’t be easy at first but it’s a lot to take in. I went to the bilingual school on Friday, the class was a joke for me because it was much too easy, so I asked to be placed in a higher level on Monday. I also already started my internship on Friday, I met the people in the office and just did a really simple task of putting patient’s names into their computer system- nothing too overwhelming. For now, that’s about it!””
Intern in Abroad Update: Sierra L. (Intern in Seville, Medical)
“Sevilla is amazing, I am having a wonderful time and making lots of friends. My internship is also very interesting, and my Spanish has been definitely improving. It is sad to think that I only have around 2 weeks left! Everything is going wonderfully”

Go Overseas Staff Interview: Ryan
Here is our Digital Marketing Specialist, Ryan C., sharing his thoughts on what’s most rewarding working for Adelante in his staff interview for Go Overseas.
Testimonials
I have learnt a lot from my placement, such an amazing experience. Exactly what I wanted and what I expected: to be exposed to a private clinical setting, covering a range of problems starting from family crises finishing with schizophrenia. The doctor himself and his crew were very supportive and friendly, which I think is quite important especially for a new person which doesn’t really know Spanish. During the month, my comprehension skills rocketed up as well as reading, the doctor asks you to read A LOT ( a piece of advice for someone doing the same placement is to read beforehand, it will greatly assist during your internship and in general in your future career)
I would participate in another Adelante program if given the chance. The program was extremely affordable in comparison to the others available and yet in comparing my experience with friends who choose other programs, Adelante never felt like a cookie cutter experience. It is true that it didn’t have as many excursions or trips, but I preferred the independence to explore the culture on my own. I was able to make my own experience and that was more rewarding then going on a packaged tour.
