Ranko - Teach in China
"Together, the students and the community have shown me such solid hospitality, warmth and have acted to make my transition in their great country one without thought. At these moments my heart is full of thanks. I think about Alliance Abroad, Rich and Suzanne, without whom I would never know such a life. I would never broaden my understanding, I would never have the chance to live China. To all at Alliance Abroad, my strongest appreciation and thanks. You will never know how much your help has meant.

Zita - Teach in Spain
“Things are great here!!! I love my family...they are so nice and treat me like a member of the family. They know English less than I thought they would, but that is OK by me. I couldn't’t have asked for a better family. Even though I’m not right in Madrid, it’s not that far and I kind of like being away from the city madness. I’ve only been here two weeks, but I’ve already done two trips, one to Segovia and another to my family’s ranch in Daimiel. I’m really very happy."

Meagan - Volunteer in Ecuador
"Last weekend I went with some friends to the higher part of the island. It only took about 20 minutes to feel like I was in an entirely different place. It reminds me of Boulder and how easy it really is to get away for a night or two. It was like semi rainforest. We could see a gorgeous view of the ocean far away and there were 500lb turtles all over the place, just doing their own thing! Their so damn cute to watch! I seriously could sit and just watch them for hours even though they do nothing!

Richard - Volunteer in Peru
"I learned so much about the history and culture while enjoying the natural and man-made beauty of Peru. It was an adventure of a lifetime. I marvel at the beauty of the mountains, the valleys, and the rivers. I'm awed in the works of the Inca ruins and terraces and water irrigation. And I was fascinated to see the people in the market places and see them come and go in the towns we visited. It was an experience I'll always remember"

Tina - Work in Australia (Outback)
"It was hard to take in everything that had happened in such a small space of time. The electrifying atmosphere, the rush of adrenalin, and the magnificent taste of a cold beer at the end of it all. Definitely an experience like no other. In fact I think experience isn't strong enough a word. More 'one-hell-of-an-experience!"

Lauren - Work in England
“I had a wonderful time over in England and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was an amazing experience, a little scary in the beginning, but once I settled in I loved it. Going through Alliance Abroad Group was well worth it because they took care of everything, including my work visa, insurance, finding the job for me and a place to live. I think that really helped once I arrived in London, because otherwise I would not have known where to begin looking for work and a place to stay. They placed me in a wonderful location and I really enjoyed working at the bar and became good friends with the owners and other staff. It was a really great time and I plan on visiting them all again in the future."

Carla - Work/Travel in Australia
"I came away learning a new way of life and am now planning on returning to Australia. I have become more independent and am planning on doing more work abroad, traveling to different places all over the world. I have fallen in love with Australia, it’s such a shame you only get a once in a lifetime experience like this."
