I have loved it so far. Everything is so different from my country but I have adopted to it quickly. I really recommend other people to come and join this amazing teaching experience through Spirit. I ove the school environment and culture. Most people at school have been so supportive and motivating. This is a great opportunity to improve your own language skills and general understanding. You can also improve your own cultural awareness by sharing your main cultural features and learning from the American people.
Great experience so far!
I simply love it!

My advice to future travelers on this program is to always keep your best aptitude in order to get the best out of this great and unforgettable experience! Enjoy it as much as possible and learn from it as much as you can. Always be willing to learn and share your own cultural background with both your students and local people around you. That is so rewarding.
Thanks a lot Spirit for making it possible
